Democrats flee from ObamaCare disaster but voters will find them in 2014 (by Scott Brown)
FoxNews ^ | Nov 15, 2013 | Scott Brown

Posted on 11/16/2013 11:43:33 AM PST by Innovative

Supporters of ObamaCare blatantly misled their constituents with this broken promise. The American people are fed up with this fiasco, and voters are ready to make their voices heard.

But it’s not just President Obama who needs to be held to account. It is also every single Democratic senator and congressman that voted for the health care bill. Without their support, it wouldn’t have happened.

These Democratic legislators are all on the hook. Any attempt to offer legislation to delay implementation or extend the sign-up period is nothing more than a transparent political stunt from an incumbent senator or congressman literally running for their political life.

If they didn’t want this health care plan, they shouldn’t have voted for it and made it the law of the land.

Yes, indeed people need to remember that even though the Dems are trying to run away from it now, their votes made Obamacare possible.

I sure hope to heck so. Saw a poll reflecting this but I’d think it should be even more flipped to GOP and yes, GOP may not make the most of this.

A very vanilla, “talking point” type of article. Not sure why Scott Brown is viewed as an authority on the issue.

Because it takes a Democrat-ish type to understand Democrats?

Because he was the 41st vote in the Senate to block Obamacare.

But when Brown came in, Reid wouldn't allow a real vote. He cheated and "deemed" Obamacare passed without a vote.

If I were Brown I'd harbor some pretty rancid feelings about that.

I’d like to believe this is true, but one has to look no further than the just passed election to note the public still hasn’t figured in Obama and the Left’s treachery.

Ask Republican Ken Cuccinelli.

The politicians lie to us and lie to each other. The newsmedia promotes the lies. The media networks are paid large sums of money by advertisers to lie to us in commercials. The gullible low information people selectively believe the lies. The informed have deep resentment toward the liars and thieves. Everyone is upset and is in deep conflict.

No you got that wrong. What happened was the House and Senate passed separate bills in 2009, so instead of going to conference - which would require going back to the Senate, the House passed the Senate Bill.

Cuchinellii is a good example not a bad one. He was that close even with all the Big Government workers droning in N VA. The race tightened dramatically after Obamacare really hit. Another 5-7 days and he would have won.

It would be easier to remove multiple colored tattoos than the stigma of voting for Obamacare.

America may finally be tiring of ‘60s and ‘70s “activists” posing as “leaders.”

It is true he was tightening. It is also true he could have won with more help from the GOPe.

Do you see the GOPe changing? I don’t.

Do you think the Left is going to quit outspending us 10 to 1 in these elections? I don’t.

The Democrat get to tell the story with a megaphone in an arena. Our guy gets to tell his side with a whisper in a closet.

Until I see some concrete evidence of it, I’m going to consider this hoopla about taking down the Left based on Obamacare, to be a pipe dream.

The Republicans are as busy as they can be running cover for him. Not 24 hours after he announce his fix, they were trying to give him one.

Our guys can’t overcome stupid that trickles down from the top. I say that, realizing full well, a few candidate wins here and there will never turn things back as they need to be turned back.

Until we hitch our wagon the a new entity, or the GOPe pulls it’s collective head out, we’re in a world of hurt.

We can’t even get the best man nominated.

Eh, lots of peopleare doing great with Obamacare. Mostly the new Medicaid recipients..

Voting is increasingly a tribal affair in America.

Blacks will vote Donkey at 90+% again, Latinos at 70%, Jews at 70%

All the single mommies will vote for the daddy party.

There are fewer and fewer persuadables.

No. At least 50% of Americans believe in a Federal Santa Claus. ACA won’t change that

This won’t change until enough people have gone through enough consequences to disabuse them of theses ideas

Deroy Murdock ( I think that’s his name) was on FOX on Friday, saying that only 48% of the Black voters support Obamacare. I was thinking about that and I realized that maybe that is because Black men don’t like the IRS any more than White men, maybe less. Black women might be security voters, but I don’t think that Black men are so willing to trust the government.

Anyway, it is an interesting statistic.
