That’s not factoring in the people who will be subsidized by Obamacare and be getting free checks in the mail. And the media and libs will be trying to spin any increase in health insurance rates in the private sector as being by those greedy capitalist corporations, as they try to march the country along on the road to single payer.
Most likely the Democrat response to any problems with Obamacare will be that we need to give more free health care bennies away to the public and charge them less. Then we’ll get talk of a millionaire’s tax and that sort of thing. As we all know, this rhetoric has gotten traction with the public in the Obama era. So to think we have a slam dunk election if Obamacare gets implements, I sincerely doubt it.
The best seems to be to energize the conservative base by actually achieving concrete results that they want. Romney lost because traditional Republican voters didn’t show up. And we won in 2010 due to an energized base that wanted very specific things done.
Exactly. If Obamacare ever actually takes effect, it'll never actually be rescinded, just as no other huge government program like it has ever been rescinded. They'll just say they didn't go far enough, blame everything but the program itself, start slapping band aids all over the thing trying to save it, throwing more good dollars after bad. It has to be stopped, cold, in its tracks, or we'll be stuck with it forever.
Those people will be voting for Democrats anyway.
What I hope will happen is to strip away all the "moderates" and young voters that thought this was a good idea, until they realize they have to pay for it, in a big way.
