RNC Launches Ad Campaign Targeting Obamacare Supporters

[hue]

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican National Committee is starting to run ads in 40 media markets, mostly targeting incumbent senators who supported President Barack Obama's health care program. Billionaire former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, meanwhile, is giving $2.5 million to help Democrats defend their majority in the Senate.

The early action announced Tuesday suggests heavy spending will be the norm in the 2014 elections, and Republicans see the president's signature domestic achievement as their way to win.

RNC chairman Reince Priebus says, quote, "Obamacare is going to be the issue in 2014."

1. These guys are seriously freightened.

If they really thought it was going to fail, wouldn't they just let it fail and say, "I told you so?"
Or am I missing something here?..which is a very good possibility....

2. It worked so well for them in 2012 and 2013. n/t

8. Shhh ...

Don't tell them the results. They are winning ... like Charlie Sheen.

3. The law they can't overturn, the health care which millions have already signed up for,

which millions love, which has saved them so much money.

They're going to run on the thing that they failed to stop, the machinery that simply will never grind to a halt. And if they somehow, by some absolute voting trickery, manage to gain enough votes in Congress to repeal it, what happens to all of the children with pre-existing conditions? These heartless idiots will NEVER win on this platform. They're delusional.

4. I'm amazed they think this will work.

The camps are set on this issue. Also, the ACA only gets better and better. Well, the GOP has cornered the market on stupid.

7. This ^

It's an enormous roll of the dice; by November, nearly everyone not named Koch is going to know someone who's life has improved because of Obamacare. How they expect this to work is beyond me.

Unless...unless...they're expecting that the targeted Senators will run from Obamacare rather than enthusiastically embracing it. Because, sadly, that would be a totally Dem thing to do.

10. Now to get ALL those who benefitted by aca to the

polls come November. Thousands and thousands will be helped with enhanced Medicaid in the blue states but if memory serves me--they are less likely to actually vote. I would really like to hear something about this issue.

5. The ACA is a program that actually lifts & empowers the lower income groups.

This enrages the oligarchy, especially because they were surprised that they did not have the POWER to prevent it's enactment. In essence the upper 2% is feeling the panic of loss of total control.

Now they are rolling out a campaign to prevent what happened in the past. ACA will never go away but the "good 'ol boys" will. The US will never go back to the good ol' days!

6. "Please proceed."

12. you can keep your doctor!

the ACA..
whats not to like?

13. You can buy any insurance you please as long is it meets certain standards.

You don't have to sign up on any exchange. People with money can do whatever they please with their health care. They can have any doctor they please, Obamacare isn't changing that. It wasn't designed to change how eighty percent of Americans get their health insurance, it was designed to get insirance for those that are unable to get any and have NO Doctor.
