Dems Don't Get It On ObamaCare

Here's the story. In recent elections and polls, all agree that independent voters, who helped win the Presidency for Obama last year, are rapidly turning away from the Democrats because of their massive spending agenda. I'll give them credit, the Democrats are finally accepting this as fact instead of propaganda... but they completely miss what it means. In THEIR minds, this mass defection isn't because independents don't LIKE ObamaCare and other massive spending programs, rather it's merely because they don't understand it well enough. The solution? Keep the programs but change the message.

Since then, however, a flurry of new polls makes clear that Democrats are facing deeper problems with independents—the swing voters who swung dramatically toward the party in 2006 and 2008 but who now are registering deep unease with the amount of spending and debt called for under Obama's agenda in an era of one-party rule in Washington.

Andrew Myers, who polled for Democrats in Virginia House of Delegates races this year, said his analysis of exit polls indicated that voters had come to see Democrats as a party of high spending — too willing to make a rush for the pocketbooks and unable to effectively articulate how their health care reform push benefited independents, many of whom already have insurance plans.

“This is what’s particularly heartbreaking: There is a real sense that no one in Congress is standing up for them,” said Myers. “It’s a real problem for messaging for us.”

Messaging? MESSAGING?


News flash, Myers, you don't have a MESSAGING problem, you have a SPENDING problem! The Democrats are acting like teenagers with stolen credit cards, and they just don't get it that most people DON'T LIKE THAT! Changing the message (i.e. lying about it) won't change the underlying problem... and it IS a problem.

And the thing about fooling people is that, eventually, they catch on...

Y'know, it'd be nice if our elected officials actually CARED about what the American people wanted, and stopped thinking in terms of political benefit for themselves and their party!

This massive deficit spending that Obama and liberals in Congress want to engage in is BAD, and no amount of rebranding will change that.
