Waterloo: The Democrats Doomed Themselves With ObamaCare
— Ace

Four articles making this point.

The Weekly Standard:

A recent New York Times/CBS News poll shows, among other things, that more than twice as many Americans “strongly disapprove” of Obamacare (34 percent) as “strongly approve” of it (15 percent). Moreover, the poll shows that the vast majority — 82 percent — of those who disapprove of Obamacare (whether strongly or otherwise) want it to be repealed. In response to the poll, Politico opines that the “big takeaway…is just how much health reform has fallen off the radar as a 2010 campaign issue, not offering much of clear benefit to either party.” Wow.

The media is really amazing, isn't it? I don't even know who they think they're lying to anymore.

These are the people who say "trust our judgment." The people who think that this sort of unpopularity of Obama's signature "accomplishment" doesn't offer "much of a clear benefit to either party."

Keep that in mind -- the issue offers no clear benefit to either party -- while perusing this.

What’s the one issue that independent voters most strongly demand that a candidate get right? According to a survey of 1,000 independents (and likely voters) recently conducted by Democratic pollster Douglas Schoen and commissioned by Independent Women’s Voice, the answer isn’t “national security,” “taxes,” “immigration,” “the size of government and its level of spending,” “putting a mosque near Ground Zero,” “the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,” or “the stimulus and bailouts” — all of which were listed as options. Rather, the answer is “health care reform.”

Nearly half (48 percent) of all independent voters said that even if a candidate otherwise held perfect views (in the eyes of the voter) — even if they “agreed with him on all other issues” (italics added) — they still couldn’t vote for him “if [they] disagreed with him on health care reform.” (Another 13 percent weren’t sure whether they could abide such a costly error in judgment or not.)

And what must the candidate’s position on health-care reform be? For 83 percent of the respondents who said their vote would hang in the balance, the candidate must oppose Obamacare. So, according to the survey, if you support Obamacare, you’ve just lost 40 percent (83 percent of 48 percent) of the independent vote — before any other issue is even addressed.

Joe Collins notes that "jobs" wasn't apparently listed, so that would probably top the list (almost definitely), but I'm citing this more for that last stat: If you support ObamaCare, you just lost the vote of 40% of independents, before any additional issues or positions are considered.

Even Politico -- sweet, dumb, predictable, litigious Politico -- wakes and sniffs at the fresh brewed political reality.

Rarely have so many political strategists been so wrong about something so big.

But when it comes to the health care bill, everyone from former President Bill Clinton on down whiffed on some of the more significant predictions.

Democrats would run aggressively on the legislation? Nope. Voters would forget about the sausage-making aspects of the legislative process? DoesnÂ’t seem that way, as the process contributed to the sense that the bill was deeply flawed.

They tick down the dumbest predictions made about it.

Not a single Democrat up for reelection is running ads touting ObamaCare:

Politico writes, "[I]t appears that no Democratic incumbent – in the House or in the Senate – has run a pro-reform TV ad since April, when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) ran one."

If you think about it, this is really quite incredible: 279 Democrats, House and Senate included, voted for Obamacare, and not one of them has been willing to publicize that fact in a single TV spot over the past four months in the midst of a congressional campaign? Apparently, the only Democrat who's running pro-Obamacare TV ads is President Obama, and he's funding them with your money.

I asked Michael Barone about the Democrats' full year of denial, about when they finally started to grasp that this was genuine outrage, a citizenry aroused.

He didn't answer that, but he did offer this explanation: The Democrats assumed all the Tea Party rallies and Town Hall confrontations were astroturfed and filled with Republican operatives, because that's precisely how they gin up their public displays of support.

They almost couldn't grasp the possibility that our rallies, unlike theirs, might be real.

Instead of Waterloo, I'll link the even-more-appropriate S.O.S.

And A Fifth: Even TNR. Even TNR.

You.

Really.

Should've.

Listened.

You exercised raw political power without regard to our opinions, just to show you could. We're stupid animals, you thought; these stupid animals will all fall in line when we tug on the leash hard enough.

No. And we're not just tugging back. We're going for your fucking throats.

You exercised raw political power.

Our turn, bitches.

I have a serious question

I took a lot of shit around here a few months ago when I said the passage of Obamacare will be the best thing for us because it will mean we win back the House in November.

Question: If HCR failed in Congress, would the Republicans be on their way to winning back the House and all these seats in the Senate, as they are now?

15 "The Democrats assumed all the Tea Party rallies and Town Hall confrontations were astroturfed and filled with Republican operatives, because that's precisely how they gin up their public displays of support."

Abso-fucking-lutely! This is a perfect example of the disconnect between the dems and the people of the country they are trying to rule. Nothing is real in their world, and they can't fathom that there is another world, a real world, in which the people have strong opinions that are based on something more than a cool slogan and a well-spoken TelePrompter reader.

Back in January, Andy Wickersham and I argued that swing-state congressional Democrats who voted for Obamacare in March would likely face an electoral reckoning in the fall.

If this is true, we'll get Senator Pat Toomey, since Sestak voted for it. Proudly.

If the leftwing Democratsin congress didn't overreach, the Republicans would not be looking forward to the projected landslide victory in November. No way, no how.

The only reasons why people are pissed off enough to vote out the Democrats is because of crap like HCR. Without it, we'd be pulling our pricks in November hoping to stay even with the Democrats.

Here, like in most of their issues, Liberals are all about projection. Did they call conservatives sexist? Listen to how they talk about Sarah Palin. Projection! Call you a racist? Remember what Reid was saying about Obama, or hear the latest political ad about Vietnamese trying to take over their district. Projection! Do they think they need gun control laws because you'll turn into a maniac and shoot people you disagree with? Projection! Accuse Republicans of tampering with the ballot? Projection!

It's not repealed yet.  And even with what appears likely to happen in the election, I put the odds of an actual full repeal at well under 50%.  Remember, Obama will veto any repeal and I do not think there will be the votes to overturn that veto.

Just remember to thank Nancy if we do have a big day in November.

"We will go through the gate. If the gate is closed, we will go over the fence. If the fence is too high, we will pole vault in. If that doesn't work, we will parachute in. But we are going to get health care reform passed for the American people for their own personal health and economic security and for the important role that it will play in reducing the deficit."

I would have expected a little better out of professional pols. I mean health care was a battle, everyone knew it. What kind of a mistake is that in battle, to fail to recognize your enemy has taken position on the field?

87 Milton Friedman was 100% wrong. These fucks desperately need to get the bum's rush, and that is the aim of the Teaparty.

Yeah.  I'm just a moron, but I thought Milt's point was self-contradictory. 

He says the solution isn't voting them out.  Instead, you have to exert pressure on them to do the right thing. 

Yet, he identifies holding on to office as something that is of pre-eminent importance to the politician.  If so, wouldn't voting those out who don't do the right thing be consistent, not inconsistent, with Milt's theory?

These people are psychologically damaged and it's frightening that they make up such a large portion of the population.

 

Nope.  Many of them have been indoctrinated by our education system to think this way.  It's really all some of them know.  Knowledge of the US Constitution?  Nope.  All they have to fall back on is marxist tripe.  After Ocare is repealed or, at least, halted, the priority of conservatives should be a massive reform of our education system.

OT but I'll drag it back on topic.  I have loaned my copy of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution to a friend here in Singapore who has always expressed an envy of American freedoms.  To prep I explained that the Declaration lays out why they did what they had to do and the Constitution lays the framework for the implementation of a citizen state.  I had explained before that the Founders intended a very limited Federal role (security and international commerce) with the States able to legislate the points specifically granted to the States in the Constitution; every other right and freedom is reserved for the indiviual citizen.  It is gratifying to see a Malaysian/Singaporean discovering the absolute brilliance of the ideas in those two amazing documents.  Now he wants to emigrate, really he always did since he has visited Texas on business.  We've started discussions on how a determined group of entitled politicians, judges and socialists have perverted the greatest system ever devised.  Mandated, government controlled health care has been one of the subjects.  Zul is turning into a Tea Party activist.

I guess Oblahblah met with "Faith based" people/pastors/ministers etc.  He told them that they need to "get the good news out about Obamacare."  Go out ye and preach teh Gospel and extol the virtues of Obamacare.  No wonder he attended church last Sunday.  Next thing you know, he's going to start praying in public.

Throw in the fact that a number of marginal Democrats either voted against Obamacare or have hedged on it, and you're in a place where on a district-by-district level Obamacare becomes less of an issue.

(Critz, Murtha's successor, claimed he would have voted against Obamacare, but will not support its repeal. For what that's worth.)

154 I like to bring up their astroturf comments a lot to mock them, but really I don't think most of them misread the electorate.  I think, in their view, that most of them thought it was just too important to lose.  They knew they'd pay a big price, but they thought it's worth it.  They're like Deniro in the movie Heat...the take was worth the risk.  Most of them knew exactly what they were doing, but they just had to sweeten the deal enough for the few Ben Nelson's out there.  You can't tell me that they couldn't flip a few of the House "No's" if they really needed them, but they gave them cover.  Why did they give them cover?  Because they knew this would not be popular by now.

They're banking that they hold the Presidency for 2 more years, the fire will weaken, and that they will hold off resistance for a few more years.  They are hoping they can divide and conquer the opposition however possible for a few years, survive the storm, and fight all the battles on their ground for yet another generation.

How precious!  Sarah Palin is giving the Left vapors again!!

Sarah Palin Drops The H-Bomb: 'Barack Hussein Obama' (VIDEO)

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin made headlines for suggesting in a TV interview she'd run for president in 2012 "if nobody else were to step up," but little noticed in that segment was the one-time vice presidential nominee dropping President Obama's middle name.

Palin (R) managed to suggest Obama has a shady past and use his middle name -- as his critics often did during the 2008 campaign -- all in one quick hit with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren.

"Funny, Greta, we are learning more about Christine O'Donnell and her college years and her teenage years and her financial dealings than anybody ever even bothered to ask about Barack Hussein Obama as a candidate and now as our president," Palin said.

Palin added later that it is "fair to dig in somebody's past." She said that if the "lamestream media" did do that digging voters would "find out their associates and beliefs and what formed their beliefs."

It's certainly not the first time Palin has cracked about Obama's past, but we couldn't find any references to her using his middle name. Who can forget that Palin was the candidate to insist that Obama doesn't see America in the same way as she and Sen. John McCain.

Because of the huge price increase thanks to your precious precious Obamacare that only adds new costs to the system, without spending one drop of ink to actually reduce costs.

Man these people are dense.  It doesn't occur to them that TARP is as unpopular as it is because of the way it was abused, not because of the general policy. 

TARP would not be so unpopular today if it weren't used to:
-- Funnel billions of US tax dollars to European institutions, off the record, through US banks
-- Buy GM, pay off the UAW, and steal the debt owned by senior creditors
-- Intimidate participants into supporting (or not opposing) Obama's political agenda; they were even afraid to schedule conferences in Las Vegas because they were afraid of the strings attached to TARP and the political demogoguery.
-- Other shit I'm sure I'm forgetting.

I have a complaint to the management at AoSHQ. In the past all 'Waterloo' threads were accompanied by at least one ABBA video. I know times are hard but these cutbacks in benefits are unacceptable.

 

Sadly, we are no longer able to post video of the group, ABBA.  After closer inspection, we were able to ascertain that the group ABBA is comprised completely of white people.  We were shocked to discover that there was not one minority nor any discernable extra melanin content in any of the band members.  Because of this lack of diversity, we did not feel we could in good conscience continue to post ABBA videos.  I know this might come as a shock to you as it did to us because we were so engrossed in the high quality of the music, the lack of minorities in the group escaped us. 

We apologize for airing video clips of ABBA in earlier posts and promise never to do so again.  We have also made a sizeable contribution to Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition and Al Sharpton Inc. to atone for our previous lack of sensitivity to people of color.

Mel was a runner, was taking the message back - his best friend being in the next wave to go over the top - got there just as the whistle was blown for the charge, his friend dying of machine gun fire seconds later. cut/end scene/movie Don't know if there was any factual basis for the scene, let alone the story of the two friends in the movie.

339 I put the odds of an actual full repeal at well under 50%. You can't really partially repeal something that monstrous and effed-up. Have you looked at what a Rube Goldberg machine the schematic of that thing is? I think there will be multiple repeal bills passed and vetoed by Zero, right up until he gets his ass handed to him in November 2012. Getting rid of this thing is a no-brainer, even for Congress.

( sigh ) .   I said battle analogy.   If you study what happened that day, you might understand.

Only a part of the Zulu army from Isandwana fought at Rorke's Drift.  That engagement gave the British time to bring up troops to defend several cities.

Generic advice:  Don't take a limited analogy too far

Waterloo can be taken too far here as an analogy:   The British held on all day until the Prussians finally arrived.  How does that crucial factor fit into the upcoming election?

The demorats secured the government and boldly and brazenly made it clear to American people, YOU'RE OUR BITCH NOW !

NOW the American people are telling the demorats; We'll see whose bitch who is now.  The demorats are now running scared.....However, if they scrape by, they are gonna be worse than they have ever been.

 

If demorats get away much unscathed, get ready to be their bitch times 10, you won't get a choice.  Land of the CZARS and dhimmi bitches of Islam.
