Not Parody: Pelosi Praises Dems For “Embracing” Obamacare “They Helped Create”
If I didn’t know better I would think this was a parody skit on SNL or The Onion. Nancy Pelosi was asked about the loss of Democrat Alex Sink in the FL13 special election. Not only did she fail to downplay how Obamacare helped to sink Sink, she actually praised Democrats for “embracing” the dreadful law “they helped create.”
I’m very proud of our House Democrats and how they have not only embraced the Affordable Care Act that they helped create it but how proud they are of it. I think that the Republicans are wasting their time using that as their electoral issue, and they will find that out.
Thanks, Nancy! Keep talking that way.
Of course she went on to blabber about how that seat went to a Republican for decades. She didn’t mention that he had been on the House Appropriations Committee and often ran unopposed, or that President Obama won that district in 2012 and 2008.
William Teach sums up the Democrats’ silly strategy for victory in November.
There you go, Democrats have embraced the destruction of our health insurance and health care systems, a law so bad and politically damaging that Mr. Obama has unilaterally, and sometimes illegally, delayed/changed portions of the law in order to attempt to protect Democrats from voter dissatisfaction.
Democrats are going to spend lots of time coming up with just the right message for the mid-terms, which will revolve around “fixing” Obamacare. Perhaps if they had read and understood the reality of the legislation prior to passage, the damage that it would do to health insurance, health care, jobs, and the economy overall, they might have reconsidered their votes and support. Alas, the entire thing is owned by Democrats. They can spin, but they can’t hide.
Well, here’s Nancy, spinning away.
Back to the FL13 race, and David Jolly’s winning message. Obamacare had a lot to do with Jolly’s win, but that wasn’t all he talked about, as Kimberly Strassel noted:
Ms. Sink, for instance, rolled out the GOP-Wants-To-Throw-Granny-Off-The-Cliff line. Democrats beat on Mr. Jolly on seniors’ issues, claiming he wanted to privatize Social Security and cut Medicare. Rather than run from that debate, the Republican reassured voters that he supported honoring current benefits for those in, at or remotely near retirement.
Yet he also made the case for long-term reforms to entitlement programs—insisting that, yes, Social Security privatization needs to be among the options considered. He pointed out that the only folks who have done serious recent damage to Medicare are Democrats who robbed the program to pay for ObamaCare. The district’s large senior-citizen voting population knew this to be true.
Read the whole thing, as it’s blueprint for Republican candidates who want to win in November.
