If ObamaCare Was So Great, Why Are No Dems Running Ads In Support?
Written By : William Teach

I suppose they took Nancy Pelosi’s advice and read it after they passed it, therefore

A handful of House Democrats are making health care reform an election year issue — by running against it.

At least five of the 34 House Democrats who voted against their party’s health care reform bill are highlighting their “no” votes in ads back home. By contrast, party officials in Washington can’t identify a single House member who’s running an ad boasting of a “yes” vote — despite the fact that 219 House Democrats voted in favor of final passage in March.

Perhaps the legislation just wasn’t all that, eh?

One Democratic strategist said it would be “political malfeasance” to run such an ad now.

Let’s define “malfeasance,” shall we?

the performance by a public official of an act that is legally unjustified, harmful, or contrary to law; wrongdoing (used esp. of an act in violation of a public trust).

Sooooooooooo, this strategist is saying it would be beyond wrong to discuss the vote these Democrats made in support of ObamaCare (or government health care, if you will)? Or, perhaps he/she is saying that voting for ObamaCare was in and off itself an act that was harmful and/or contrary to law?

Of course, Democrats are trying to spin their complete retreat from discussing their votes as something else. Yet, it seems that Democrats are completely unwilling to discuss any of their legislative “accomplishments”, since the majority of Americans find those accomplishments to be malfeasance, hence the reason Democrats are going to be smacked with the cold mackerel of reality come November 2nd.

    So the Democrats are the party of “No… wait a minute…”

    So you mean to tell me that cramming dozens of expensive new bureaucracies and government agencies down our throats wrapped up in thousands of pages of dense legislative language which hadn't been adequately vetted, all while lying to the electorate that it would save money and people could keep their preferred health plan and doctor if they so chose, and then resorting to parliamentary sleight of hand to finally pass it all, wasn't a winning electoral strategy?

    Imagine that. I'm gobsmacked, mate.

    How can they run ads on a bill none of them have read?

  • StanW

    I suppose the same way they can vote on a bill none of them have read.

  • Mr. EMT

    Has anyone seen any add where they brag about ANY of the things they have accomplished under obamao?
    I have not.
    The few dem ads I see are full of the same BS promises for new jobs…. and that is pretty much it.

    Well, voting is easy. Obama says “vote” and they wipe the drool from their lips and push the “yea” button.

    Running an ad requires a narrative though. It would be a bit awkward to run ads to the effect of:

    “Congressman Insert-Name-Here cares about you and your family. He voted for the Obamacare Bill, which will…uh…improve health care sometime in the year 2014 by…um…doing stuff. For you. Congressman Insert-Name-Here. Doing stuff. For you. In the future. (This ad was approved by Congressman Insert-Name-Here.)”

    They are the party of “I didn't do it!”

    We should come up with helpful campaign slogans for the Democrats to use this year, starting with “Don't Blame Us!” and “Still Not Responsible.”

    The Democrats running in Oregon aren't even mentioning their party, all of them are claiming they are mavericks who fight the Washington DC insiders and were against (choose bill they didn't vote for here). None of them trumpet how great their votes were on TARP, “stimulus” and the Government Health Insurance Takeover Act.

    I wonder if they're worried about being unable to answer even the most basic questions posed by their constituency regarding Obamacare?

    I suppose that's one of the risks of voting for something you have never read.

    Stock response to any question about how it works: look I dunno, it's a great bill alright? Don't ask so many questions or I'll call you a racist.

  • UFKA_Smithwick

    Obamacare will give free medical care to your beloved grandmother (maybe), flash a picture of an adorable grandmother. The republicans wanted to take that away so your grandmother will die, flash picture of Bush with glowing red eyes and devil-horns.

    That's about the best they can go with here, pure emotional appeal. If people actually start reading in to it then they are doomed.
