Dems' 2010 Strategy: GOP Will "Repeal" Obamacare

TPM reports:

"With Democratic senators united on the health care bill today, their campaign arm has settled on an attack plan for 2010: Republicans would "repeal" it if they win control.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, aggressively challenging incumbent GOP senators and vying for open seats, will paint the Republicans as only interested in obstructing."

So, the Democrats' attack plan is to tell voters that the GOP will repeal the budget-busting, tax-hiking, Medicare-cutting, abortion-funding, big insurance and big pharma giveaway that only has the support of 35% of voters. Brilliant!

Conservatives have been saying that if Obamacare passes Republicans should run on the platform of repealing this monstrosity. The Democrats really think it's a smart attack plan to send the same message?

Does this count as an in-kind contribution to Republican candidates?

They will try to spin this in a way that makes the public believe taking it away is equivalent to repealing equal rights or social security, etc. They may even try to "give out some small gift" in the way of a tax cut/rebate or something around this summer or before elections and tell the people they are getting it because the HC bill that the Pubs want to repeal provided it to them.

IOW: There will be bamboozling

The Bill once law. Cannot be repealed in ToTo. It will have to be destroyed,one piece at a time. We will spend years in court getting this Bill removed from our lives. But the tax increases will do great harm to the economy in the meantime. I will never trust any Government, ever again,Period.

To finish my previous thought as I hit submit too soon...that us why we can’t let up on informing and reminding the public what us in this HC bill.

There are too many people, like those idiot women in Detroit, who are always looking for their cut of the ‘Obama stash’.

Do they promise? Nothing better than keeping this front and center for the next year....

“Those who keep wishing for a peaceful reversal of our country’s headlong dive into marxism are going to be very disappointed over the next several years, IMO. “

I’m afraid you are correct.

[Brilliant]

I sure hope so.

Wonder how our friends over at the NRA are digesting this?

You can bet a dime that gun control is part of this 'public health' concern. The mayor of Memphis a demwit, alluded to the fact that gun crime was a public health concern a few weeks back on the nightly news.

There were no printed sound bites I could post.

Obeyme is a great name for the Little Dictator!

The should repeal this debacle, along with Johnson’s great society and a bunch of other communist garbage. Let the deadbeats carry their own weight for a change.

But you forget - if Republicans have majorities in the House and or Senate, they can demand hearings into Obummer’s elegibility, ie, demand he produce his real Birth Certificate.

If he doesn’t, we have a Constitutional crisis.

Otherwise, he is proven to be inelegible and all legislation he has signed becomes invalid, or at least, under review.

But it will take some courage on the part of Republican legislators to follow through with that.

They actually think this will help them! Good Gawd. They are so screwed.

The GOP lost its position in Congress over 2 elections. In 2006 the big issue was homosexuality.

Hope BO doesn't fire Jennings before next November. Even if the GOP is too cowardly, some right wing group will run ads about it.

In fact, BO has filled the WH with attack ad material.

There’s another big winner, Big Ambulance Chaser.
