Why Democrats Who Voted No On ObamaCare May Still Lose
IBD's Capital Hill ^ | 3/29/2010 | David Hogberg

Posted on 03/29/2010 1:08:55 PM PDT by Slyscribe

Two new polls out from Rasmussen today suggest that even Democrats who voted against health care reform are in serious danger of losing their seats. The first shows that 54% of respondents favor repealing ObamaCare, essentially unchanged from last week.

The second shows that Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin, D-S.D., now leads one of her potential Republican challengers, Secretary of State Chris Nelson, by only 44%-42%. In February, she led 45%-38%. Herseth Sandlin, co-chair of the Blue Dogs, a group of more moderate Democrats, voted against the health care bill both in November and in March, and was outspoken against the “Slaughter solution”, dubbing it “poison.”

Her lackluster numbers can be linked to voters’ preference for repealing ObamaCare, even though she voted against it.

Wait until the Obma care bills come due.

Certainly all of those getting a benefit will always be for the healthcare bil, but one day in the future the do-good ignoramous’s that voted for this thing will get the bill.

I can see the rationale that in order to overturn Obamacare the republicans need every seat they can get, including those of the no vote democrats. if that turns out to be the case the no democrats have no one to blame but Obama and the democrats for pushing through an unconstitutional law that turns all Americans into slaves.

Best way to repeal 0bamcare is to vote the Democrats(Blue Dog, Red Dog, whatever Dog Democrats) OUT, and replace them with conservative Republicans. Republicans that charge visits to sex clubs to the RNC, need not apply.

Guilt by association. Dems who voted no should look within their party to those who sold out the country. In Stupak’s side, he sold the country out for an airport.

Democrat translates into socialist, communist and/or fascist (depending on what one thinks he thinks ... ) and AMERICANS want nothing to do with anything that even smells like loss of liberty.

Clever and insidious dems will teach their protege's to look, talk and act like conservatives until they get into office.

That's the zero way.

The Democrat party is the outright political enemy of the Republic. Everyone with a D next to their name, from dogcatcher on up, should be a target for election defeat, regardless of so called “moderate” views. Have a D next to your name, I consider you a opponent of the representative republic form of government.

The only way is if GOP romps and we get rid of RINOs.

Unless we get the House and DEFUND this law then it is over. Seniors and baby boomers will be totally screwed forever.

Because they voted YES on Nancy Pelosi for speaker of the house.

The blue dog democrats allowed Pelosi and Reid to gain power. We need all Rats out..every Rat we can defeat to insure that the Rats won’t be in contol. The blue dogs just happen to be in districts that are easier to turn red.

I totally concur, and have already informed my local councilmen and state representatives accordingly.

All RATS must be defeated, including the junior varsity team close to home.

Only a total electoral washout will awaken this corrupt party and its media handmaidens to begin anew or face extinction.

most of the “no” Democrats were phonies anyway... they were released by Nazi Pelosi to vote no because she did not need their votes.

Good point. I wasn't wasting any tears over them to be sure.
