I Think Ed Is Right... The Paradigm Has Shifted... And It's Time To Strike... (Health Care)

[WillyT]

The GOP has been caught flat-footed, and is both in shock at the ruling, screaming at each other, and are scrambling for answers.

McConnell says that the 30 Million uninsured are not the point.

Boehner repeats Frank Luntz regurgitated lines about "Patient-Based Solutions" but cannot define them.

Paul Ryan says that our rights come from nature and God, and not the Government.

They are tripping all over each other, and are not sure what to do, and if the Democrats blow this opportunity, it will be...

at the VERY least... a shame.

C'mon Dems... time to get your shit together!

1. Right, the time has come to take advantage of their ? nuttiness. (being polite.)

Hope that after Wednesday, we'll see some good stuff from Dems.
POTUS heading out on bus trip to ? Ohio, Pennsylvania, so let's see some FREE p.r.

[Firebrand Gary]

2. Willy, I think you are totally right! Go for the jugular, dems! NOW

Our party needs to get off the bench and say enough is enough. The time for debate is over, we have the healthcare bill that we are going to have. Debate time was 3 years ago, the GOP decided to play games then so too effing bad!

We have many other challenges to face at this point in time. Immigration, education, energy, the closing of the Afghanistan war, time for debate is over!

How do we say? Forward!

Additionally, we as a party need to take huge bites out of the GOP's ass for trying to let insurance companies CONTROL American families.

C'mon Dems, get stark fucking mad.

3. Even if Dems got frothing mad

who would cover it? We don't own any media.

O is about to go on a multi-state bus tour and I guarantee that there will maybe be a few 10 sec sound-bites aired, despite what will probably be a rousing attack speech, but the wingnut-owned M$M is not going to cover anything a Democrat says that is against Rmoney.

4. You nailed it. But happily, local news and papers will do a decent job

of covering it around the areas he tours.

[BumRushDaShow]

5. And hopefully DUers in those areas will post pics

and give some updates!!!

[nanabugg]

7. You are so on it!!! Dems need to get those disgusting super paks to ante up more money for ads.

Even the RW media loves money....they will run anything the Dems pay for. If they don't the FCC should be invited in.

[SunsetDreams]

8. Excellent point

The media is corporate owned.

Hmmm that makes me wonder something too. If the Media is corporate owned and covers all things Republican in a positive light IOKIYAR. We all know the GOP is Corporate owned. If the Democrats truly were Corporate owned as some have charged, why isn't the Corporate owned media giving them as much air time? I mean they are both the same right?

[Skittles]

6. they certainly are off their game

I think a large part of their goose-stepping capability is the knowledge they have groups in their pocket (- but here, something went awry with the teabagger faction of the Supreme Court and it has shocked them to the core

[MelungeonWoman]

9. Can I use superglue on that?

Boehner repeats Frank Luntz regurgitated lines about "Patient-Based Solutions" but cannot define them.

It sounds like home surgery to me.

[ibegurpard]

10. you are absolutely right

this is not the time to attack Obamacare. As much as I was disappointed with what came about, there's no way in hell I'm going to participate in the repukes' efforts to get rid of it now. I have no desire to fight this battle all over again...I'd prefer to work with local officials to implement in a way that makes sense where I am.

[WillyT]

11. Kick !!!

[Kablooie]

12. I wish Democrats knew how to play offense but defense seems to be their only mode.

[The Wizard]

13. When your opponents

have been known to lie cheat and abuse, it is necessary to keep a heel firmly implanted on the backs of their necks.
Republicans are abnormal and expecting them to keep their word is akin to shoveling shit against the tide.

[DearAbby]

14. The GOP had no plan B

Holding the poorest people within your state, Hostage, sound like a well thought out plan? The plan to pull out, on the off chance, they lost the Supreme Court Case?

That sound rational to you? THEY ARE IN PANIC. They fully expected the court to strike it down. They never intended to be talking healthcare, except to smear the loss in Obama's face.

The Supreme Court ruling has them flat footed and off balance.
