Next move for Axelrod? Pure and simple: destroy talk radio.
How long until Axelrod get so frustrated that he re-enacts his table stabbing, except this time with himself as the table?
Really, all they can do is go after town halls, maybe talk radio. Maybe have to invent something else. Healthcare, actually health insurance, has become so hot it is about to go nuclear - no one wants to touch it now. The 'rats see they are not going to get their dream bill passed, and any watered-down version is still going to anger the right and middle, while simultaneously alienating the far left of their party. Basically, it has become a no-win situation for them.
So maybe they will blame the TEA parties, town halls, and cratering of healthcare "reform" (snort) on those evil conservative talk-radio rabble-rousers... Wonder what idiotic lies and spin they could come up with to go after them? Push the "right wing extremist" button again?
Yep. Up next: destroy free speech on the Internet (FreeRepublic, Drudge, Michelle Malkin, and every conservative "opposition" blog, website and forum on the web.

Let them try. If they think that will improve ratings then they are really stupid. Poll numbers for Congress, the president and all dems will go to zero.
All the flying across the nation to sell Obamacare has only strengthened the arguments that this is a plan destined to harm US finances and citizens. It is hunky dory for illegal aliens, big pharma and those in Obama's close circle who have investments tied to the passing of this legislation. Kinda reminds us of Al Gore and GE and their global warming investment payback potential.
if dems want backlash, going after talk radio will give them that plus more than they ever bargained for. Cutting off our freedom of speech is something they better be sure they want to do. I'm no constitutional attorney, but impeachment for such a thing should be put on the table if it is attempted.
He tries that and the blowback from radio stations--remember Rush Limbaugh's radio show is HUGELY profitable for many local radio stations!--will sink that idea in no time flat.
They already tried that and failed.
