Obama political arm now targets House Dems and GOP on healthcare
@ 11:18 am by Michael O’Brien
President Obama’s political arm, Organizing for America (OFA), expanded its pro-healthcare reform ad campaign to target vulnerable House Republicans and centrist Democrats.
OFA said Saturday that it’d expanded the ad buy of their “It’s Time” ad to 15 additional markets beyond its initial state ad buys it had made to pressure centrist senators in both parties into supporting healthcare reform legislation.
The move puts the OFA message on air in the backyards of a number of Republicans who may face tough reelection battles in 2010, and on-air in the districts of Democrats who have been on the fence about supporting healthcare reform.
“Millions of Americans lose their health insurance when they lose their job, are denied care because of a pre-existing condition, and delay care or skip medication because they can’t afford it,” OFA Director Mitch Stewart said in a statement. “It’s time to reform our health care system to lower costs, preserve patient choice and ensure that all Americans have access to quality, affordable care.”
A partial list of the lawmakers whose districts will be hit by the OFA ad buy includes:
* Savannah, - Jack Kingston (R-Ga.), Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), Ander Crenshaw (R-Fla.)
* Palm Springs, Calif. - Mary Bono Mack (R-Calif.)
* Seattle - Dave Reichert (R-Wash.)
* Nashville - Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.)
* Bloomington - Baron Hill (D-Ind.)
* Sacramento - Dan Lungren (R-Calif.)
* Salt Lake City - Jim Matheson (D-Utah)
* New Orleans - Ahn “Joseph” Cao (R-La.)
* Pittsburgh - Tim Murphy (R-Pa.), Mike Doyle (D-Pa.), John Murtha (D-Pa.), Jason Altmire (D-Pa.)
* Charlotte - Larry Kissell (D-N.C.)
* Little Rock - Vic Snyder (D-Ark.)
* Columbus - Mary Jo Kilroy (D-Ohio)
* Marquette, Mich. - Bart Stupak (D-Mich.)
* Grand Rapids, Mich. - Vern Ehlers (R-Mich.), Pate Hoekstra (R-Mich.)
* Medford, Ore. - Greg Walden (R-Ore.)
I don’t want any of them dinking with the best health care in the world.
What is it with these people? No more bipartisanship compromise cr*p! We’ve seen in the past where this type of legislation goes. Just kill the socialist health care bill and be done with it. Let the free market take care of itself!
The Dems are NOT breaking from Obama!
They are trying to get Republicans to sign on to ANY aspect of government-run healthcare so they can claim bipartisan support. A majority of Americans do not want or need government healthcare and dems know it. Don’t fall for this ruse House Republicans.
I have no doubt that Obama dispatched these trojans to fracture the House Republicans cohesiveness on this issue. If they’re so conservative, why do they stay and vote most often with democrats?? Only voting conservative when reelection looms. I’m not fooled.
Ask yourself, why is the media so focused on this?? They spend endless hours propping up the puppet-in-chief and ignoring anything that makes him look ineffective. Why breathlessly report on dissension in the ranks. I’m not buying this fandance. Not one bit.
The GOP has some good ideas: limiting malpractice awards, not permitting gov’t takeover, etc.
I don’t know what these so-called centrist Dems want...but hopefully killing Hussein’s communist ideas and even setting them back would be very good news.
Socialism in 8 years instead of 4.
Big whoop.
Watched an interesting segment on C-Span last night when Rangel’s committee voted on a ‘pub amendment to require congressmen to be covered by the same healthcare plan as was going to be offered to the public - it’ll help us know before the public if there are any problems with the plan was one of the more practical arguments given for the proposed move (aside from the plain and simple fact that it’s the ethical thing to do) - all ‘pubs voted for the amendment as well as about five of the ‘rats, before it was defeated 21-18 - there is hope of turning some of the more clear-thinking and honorable Dems to the right side.....
