Republicans, running on dismantling the health non-care system will be fighting both the image of taking health care away from granny AND “spending more money.”

This may not be true for several reasons.

1. If polls are to be believed that 85% of the public likes the health care that they have, then granny already has health care. 85% of the people will know who it is who is taking their health care away.

2. If news reports are to be believed that only 15 million (not 50 million) people have health care, and the rest are youths and people between jobs, then the people already have health care and will know who it is who is taking it away.

Let's not keep propping up that cannard that the Republicans will get blamed for everything every time as an excuse for just taking it and not fighting back.

No one said not to fight back. I'm simply spreading a little realism around here. The Court will not save us. Simple majorities, even substantial majorities, will not save us.

And as for the notion that people like their health care, that may be true, but the change in the health care policies themselves don't come for several years.
