This week is the
first anniversary of Obamacare

And the Democrats are going to - very entertainingly - try to put the
best face on that particular electoral disaster that they possibly can:
they have a week’s worth of events planned, apparently in the hope that
the only thing wrong with their party’s messaging thus far was that
they did not speak loudly enough, or slowly enough, or use small enough
words, or any combination thereof. They also plan to “shine a spotlight
on Republicans who have opposed the law at every turn” - which, the
last time that I checked, included not only every Republican sitting in
Congress now, but the net +6 Senators and +63 Representatives who were
not in their current Congressional seats in March 2010. Put
another way, Republicans do not so much worry that their opposition to
Obamacare be highlighted as they demand that it be.
Seriously, when you have people like notorious pro-union violence
columnist Greg Sargent saying things like “…hope for the best,” you
have a serious problem. It wasn’t the messaging that’s the
problem here for Democrats. It was the slipshod crafting of
Obamacare, the blatant attempts to provoke a violent response to
Obamacare, the numerous payoffs and corrupt deals used to bring
Obamacare to fruition, the cowardice displayed by numerous Democratic
politicians (many of whom are now suddenly private lobbyists) in their
‘defense’ of Obamacare, the arrogance displayed by other Democratic
politicians (typically from districts where God couldn’t win as a
Republican) ditto, the wholesale lying, libeling, and slandering of
Obamacare’s opponents, the ongoing payoffs and corrupt deals being made
for Obamacare after the fact, and - most importantly - the ongoing
demonstration that not only is Obamacare dysfunctional: it’s probably
unconstitutional as well.
But by all means: the Democrats can waste some more money trying to
convince the public that a program that (to give just one example)
killed child-only health care policies in 19 states is somehow good for
kids. By the way: I know that many people in the GOP base have an
issue or two (or a dozen) with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell,
but he hit the right notes in his speech panning Obamacare:
