Exclusive: GOP To Unleash Huge Wave Of Robocalls Warning Of Dem Plot To “Ram” Health Reform Through

National Repubicans are planning to unleash a huge wave of robocalls tomorrow targeting dozens of House Dems and warning their constituents that Obama and Nancy Pelosi are plotting to “ram” their “dangerous” health reform plans through Congress.

The robocalls — the first paid media by the NRCC’s new “code red” program, which targets Dems on health care — comes after Obama told Congress to pass reform via reconciliation.

The calls are meant to spook House Dems right at the moment when the White House and Dem leaders are about to undertake a grueling effort to round up support for what’s expected to be a hair-raisingly close vote. It warns constituents that the targeted House Dem risks supporting this “dangerous” move.

“Even though a majority of the country wants them to scrap it, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and President Obama are planning to ram their dangerous, out-of-control health care spending bill through Congress anyway,” the call says, according to a script provided by a GOP official.

5. And we'll watch just how many spineless Dems in congress fall for this republican fear tactic!

This is a completely desperate republican fear tactic, which will be made up of lies & based on phony polls.

That only the weakest of Democrats will fall for....

Fortunately we'll see just how many of these spineless Democrats in the House & Senate there really are!

Then we WILL absolutely run these spineless Democrats out of office forever!!

7. Reconciliation becomes an immediate Lose-Lose for the GOP
If they vote "No" they will lose the support of the >65% of the voting public that wants reform, and if they vote "Yes" after all their bellyaching they are immediately pegged as hypocrites and will lose the ~15% of right-wingnut tea-baggers as well as any credibility they may still maintain (if any).

8. The main problem
with not being a Repub is they own the media. Getting a message out to counters this will be very difficult because it won't stop with robo calls........

10. Maybe the polical rocket surgeons on our....
.. of the aisle should stop poopooing long enough to notice that they have had their collective ass handed to them over and over and over and over, WHILE they hold a HUGE majority in BOTH Houses AND the WH, and see how a political party with a spine operates, they MIGHT learn something, but I doubt it.

And after all, Americans know to expect lies in robocalls.
