Republicans are on tv EVERY HOUR saying "Obamacare is a failure!"

WHERE ARE THE DEMOCRATS? Where are the people explaining that Obamacare is NOT failing? Where is the other side of the argument? Sure, I love to see the GOP destroying itself, but even while it does so they get so repeat the lie that Obamacare has been a total disaster and has completely failed.

When each one of these Repubes said that on their channel, they notated either by marquee or commentary about how much money that particular Senator has received from groups that would be directly tied to having it repealed. I.E. insurance companies, pharmaceuticals, special groups that represent tax breaks for billionaires, etc.

will believe it. Say it some more and the rubes will have it tattooed on their foreheads. When you're mobilizing useful idiots, the tactics you use are not complicated. Eventually, after looking at ratings, the M$M also falls into the trap and just starts accepting idiocy like this as truth. That's what a for-profit media 'information' system will do for a society.

Millions of these fucking morons out there screaming about Obamacare may not even realize that O'care is the only reason they've seen a doctor in the past 5 years.

Of course, if/when they lose that coverage, it'll also be Obama's fault. As I said, useful idiots who yell a lot and vote.

Once again..."Obamacare is a complete failure!" "It's in the middle of a collapse!" over and over again.
