The chaotic launch of President Barack Obama's healthcare law has Democrats in Congress increasingly anxious about its potential impact on them in the 2014 elections and scrambling to protect themselves if the program's problems persist.

Particularly nervous is a group of 16 Senate Democrats who are defending their seats next year, as Republicans will seek a net gain of six seats to try to take over the 100-seat chamber.

Obamacare, the gift that keeps on giving. Unlike say, the government slimdown, which will be forgotten a year from now, voters will get a reminder every month when they have to pay their huge health insurance bill, and every time they go to the doctor and find nothing is covered because of their sky high deductible.

Much like the emails revealed the CLIMATE GATE SCAM, leading to its collapse. THE FOREIGNERS “If you like your health care you can keep your health care” is the final straw that’s going to kill the socialism disease that the democrats brought to our country. It’s all over for these frauds. And the fruit on the cake will be SENDING THAT FRAUD HAIRY ON A ONE WAY FLIGHT BACK TO NEVADA.

Live by the vote. Die by the vote.

I hope the low information voter has the common sense to see the finger prints all over 5 years of horrendous legislation. (but have me doubts)

Perhaps for once, and for only a very short window of opportunity, the Democrats have recognized that they have just wandered into a land mine field.

They may be able to find a path out, with minimum casualties, if they can get the Republicans to sweep ahead and detonate or disable a sufficient number of them. But this involves getting the co-operation of a sufficient number of Republicans, to either fall on the land mines themselves, or to successfully defuse them.

The Republicans should not take the bait. But who are they to start taking advice now?

“It’s all over for these frauds.”

Don’t start dancing on their graves just yet. Never underestimate the ability of the GOP-e to blow a golden opportunity.

The website could be working perfectly, and the REAL problems would still remain.

The Rats own this, let it eat them alive.

It should be repeated again again — not a single Republican voted for it and it was forced through against the will of the people.

Chris Frates, CNN's investigative correspondent, reported Friday: "Senate Democrats voted unanimously three years ago to support the self-same ObamaCare rule that is largely responsible for some of the health insurance cancellation letters now going out to irate policyholders."

===============================================

The O/Care debacle is looking more and more like the House check-kiting scandal years back. Dems--even in safe seats-- were tossed out by angry constituents (cackle).

Democrats Scramble to Distance Themselves from Obamacare (RATS want a refund)
Breitbart | 10/30/13 | Wynton Hall / FR Posted November 01 by Libloather

**SNIP** Other Democrats now say they agree with Republicans that a delay of the individual mandate may be the only way to salvage the disaster and save face. "I think the administration is going to have to look at it [delay of the individual mandate]. and I'd encourage them to do so," said Rep. Gene Green (D-TX).

Five Democrats have now asked for the Obama Administration to seek a refund from the contractors responsible for the Obamacare website fiasco.

GUILTY CONSCIENCES FROM VOTING FOR O/CARE? Reps. Ron Barber (D-AZ), William Enyart (D-IL), Pete Gallego (D-TX), Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), and Filemon Vela (D-TX) wrote a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder urging the reimbursement effort.

=========================================

ACTION NOW.....printout a summary of the pro-policyholder Republican amendment, with a list of EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT who voted against protecting policyholders, and use it in upcoming elections....in letters to the editor, ads, fliers, bumper stickers, lawn signs, etc..........

I always get a kick out of communist news sources too afraid to allow the slightest rebuttal.
