Disaster for Dems ObamaCare & the 2014 vote
NY Post ^ | 24 March 13 | Betsy McCaughey

Posted on 03/25/2013 5:36:50 AM PDT by white trash redneck

Democrats hope to retake the House of Representatives in next year’s elections. They won’t — and they’ll have themselves to blame, because 2014 is when ObamaCare kicks in.

With a vengeance.

Obamacare has always been a stalking horse for single payer socialized medicine. The idea has been to make the private insurance market so dysfunctional that people will clamor for the government to take over health care.

While I hope that the author is right, my fear is that the same clueless electorate that elected the Zero to the White House twice will fall for whatever claptrap that the DemocRATs and the media (but I repeat myself), blame the Republicans for the Obamacare disaster, and we'll have UK-style socialized medicine.

The ‘I deserve what I want and am entitled to it, no matter what, and they should just take things away from those ‘rich’ people’ crowd expects to get for free the kind of treatment and commitment from doctors that American medicine has provided in the past. They are going to be very disappointed in what they get, but ironically will be getting what they deserve.

I suspect the Dems will paint Republicans (largely in states led by Republican governors and legislatures), as being obstructionists against a law that was "legally" passed, and found Constitutional by the USSC. Dems will claim that any "implementation struggles" will be due to Red states not being compliant, and the non-compliance is an act of rebellion. Whether or not Republicans have anything to do with the implementation or not, any shortcoming will be tied to them by a complicit media.

It may be enough to win back the House.

Yeah, we heard that same story in 2012. Just wait until all the illegals get the vote. The GOP, and this country for that matter is toast.

The regime is converting the (successful) Obama campaign machine (OFA) to attack the 2014 midterms.

In 2010 I think they were very overconfident and got ambushed.

We won’t be that lucky in 2014 it will be a struggle.

Is anyone aware of any articles that describe how the dens wrote obamacare? I suspect the language was written by lobbyists and white house czars

Local municipalities. For now...

That is, where 'Rats reign, there will be plenty of voter fraud to go around.

Where pubs are in power, there will be much less.

So, on the average there will be "plenty of voter fraud" divided by about 2.

Your comments are exactly what I was thinking - the problems caused by Obamacare will be spun to be blamed on the Republicans. They’ll probably say they problems were caused by the sequester.

I can’t see how obamacare can be laid at the feet of Republicans: not a single ‘Pubbie voted for it and many have continued to rail against it. The Dem Congress and Senate passed this 2700-page monstrosity without even reading it, with no idea of the far-reaching ramifications. If that doesn’t motivate voters to throw dems out of the House and Senate we truly are finished.
