Key White House allies are dramatically shifting their attempts to defend health care legislation, abandoning claims that it will reduce costs and deficit, and instead stressing a promise to "improve it."
The messaging shift was circulated this afternoon on a conference call and PowerPoint presentation organized by FamiliesUSA one of the central groups in the push for the initial legislation. The call was led by a staffer for the Herndon Alliance, which includes leading labor groups and other health care allies. It was based on polling from three top Democratic pollsters, John Anzalone, Celinda Lake, and Stan Greenberg
The confidential presentation, available in full here and provided to POLITICO by a source on the call, suggests that Democrats are acknowledging the failure of their predictions that the health care legislation would grow more popular after its passage, as its benefits became clear and rhetoric cooled. Instead, the presentation is designed to win over a skeptical public, and to defend the legislation and in particular the individual mandate from a push for repeal.
The presentation concedes that groups typically supportive of Democratic causes people under 40, non-college educated women, and Hispanic voters have not been won over by the plan. Indeed, it stresses repeatedly, many are unaware that the legislation has passed, an astonishing shortcoming in the White House's all-out communications effort.

How about this?
They can shove it.
REPEAL, REPEAL, REPEAL the Imam Obama/Pelosi/Reid genocide of the elderly disabled, and whomever else Big Brother deems unworthy of life.
REPEAL it - you closed door hypocrites! No American wants your socialism in any way, shape or form!
The presentation’s final page of “Don’ts” counsels against claiming “the law will reduce costs and deficit.”

Its obvious the Dems are crapping themselves on several fronts for the midterms and the titanic has hit the iceberg and taking on water.

Thanks. Politico changed the title.
Every word is a lie from these democrat party monsters.
Every.
Word.
I know they change them every couple of hours, the reason I posted is so people can see the other comments; on the first one someone posted the graphics, too.
I appreciate it.
Therefore, her post is not a duplicate.
I hope Boehner knocks her in the head with that gavel in Jan.
This attempt to change the conversation is nothing more than an alinsky-like attempt to ratchet the march to a socialist state. They want to “lock in” having the monster by moving from a contentious argument to something new, potentially just as contentious, that would take months for the public to digest, getting past the mid-terms, before the public vomits it up [too].
If you will take the time to look at the posts, you will see that Maggie and I already discussed this, and why I posted the links.
I spit on you, your pictures, your names, your legacy. I squat on you, you pestilence.
“Every word is a lie from these democrat party monsters.”
Ya mean like that racist Muslim nig Andre Carson!
