The landmark health-reform law passed in 2010 has never been very popular and always highly partisan, but a new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds that a group of once loyal Democrats has been steadily turning against Obamacare: Democrats who are ideologically moderate or conservative.

Gives you a little insight into how much Obama is truly governed by his own hubris that he’s not throwing up his hands and running for the tall grass at the mere sight of this.

The law will be gone by the end of January 2014.

The only thing that changes in the Democrat party is Nancy underwear once a month.

MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTED AND VOTED FOR OBAMACARE ARE STILL IN OFFICE.

Think about that while you're job hunting. :D

A weak kneeded pseudo conservative that believes all the lies about Republicans the MSM spews out and thus they call themselves democraps, but in reality they are more aligned with conservative values, but they just won’t admit it because they buy the whole MSM lie that conservatives and Republicans are evil...

This is why the Dems are going to dump Obamacare by the end of January next year.

Bet on it. The ground work is already being laid:

1. Delays in parts of the law.
2. Harry Reid complaining about the funding levels.
3. Continuing lawsuits by religious organizations.
4. AFL-CIO letter.
5. Obama campaigning for it.

“Democrats who are ideologically moderate or conservative.”

Is there such a thing? I doubt it. These are Democrats just as ideologically “moderate” and liberal Republicans are Democrats by another name.

What we have here are rats leaving a sinking ship. You’ll probably find that those Democrats suddenly opposing Obamacare are the ones up for reelection in 2014.

Limbaugh theorem. Technically Obama could claim it wasn’t his law.

Oh sure, these “moderate Dems” are agaisnt it going into an election year. But, I guarn”damn”tee that once they get re-elected they won’t do anything to defund it or get rid of it.

there’s a problem with the importance of the numbers

the “Moderate and Conservative” Democrats are, in Congress, publicly nearly nameless and faceless as only Marxist/Progressive/Uber-Liberals are in charge of the party and the party line and the public party message

to actually have a LEADING role in the Democratic party

moderate and Conservative Democrats need their own “Tea Party”

Unions realized their exemptions go away and they have “Cadillac” plans.
