I heard Larry Sabato, who is known for his accurate predictions when it comes to election results, and he figures the Dems will lose the Senate in 2014 ( from his mouth to God's ear) . Which sounds likely as the President has a very low job approval rating and that has affected mid terms a lot in past elections. Those discourages in their leader don't tend to come out and vote during the mid terms. Those that are pizzed at the direction the country is headed do tend to come out hence the historical lost for the Dems in 2010 mid terms.
Let's take Oldtimer's home state for example, Montana has a Democrat Senator in Max Baucus, he is retiring this year and Obama's job approval rating is sitting are 33% in that state due to Obamacare, that even Baucus, a co-writer of Obamacare, admitted was going to be a train wreck. So what is the likelihood of a Democrat being elected to that States Senate seat?
Everyday the voters are hearing how people are losing their healthcare plans due to Obamacare and how billions have been spent on websites that DON"T WORK, so don't you think that is going to have an affect on those that voted for the bill? Well they are hearing it if they are not listening to MSNBC and CNN. :wink:
Today I heard the Oregon healthcare system has cost tax payers $50,000 per enrollee. and that is because of the cost of the website that is not working to this day, that has nothing to do with the government subsidies that the enrollees are likely getting.
The Whole US healthcare system has been turned upside down for what? Obama claimed there were 45 million Americans without insurance, HHS claims they have signed up 3 million people. BUT insurance companies have said of that 3 million only 11% of them are people that did not have insurance. Reports are also saying over 6 million people have lost their insurance due to Obamacare and that number is going up everyday, Target just announced they are dropping their parttime employees healthcare plans and this follows the announcements from Home Depot and several other BIG chains. Everyday we are hearing about people being cut back to parttime hours as the employers don't want to provide healthcare to them. So the US is at a very large net lose due to Obamacare, do you not think the US voters are going to make those that supported this mess pay for it? Obama wants everyone to think it was the website rollout that made Obamacare the debacle they are witnessing but he is LYING AGAIN it was the OVERALL CONCEPT that was the trouble from the get go. Billions are being wasted and less people are being insured. The US would have been farther ahead in the game if they had just written checks to those without insurance but they likely would have just taken the money and bought a car or the newest Ipad as those that were not insured were those that did not care about being insured, hence no rush to get signed up under the NOT SO AFFORDABLE CARE ACT.
I can not see why Democrat after Democrat keep coming on the news and spewing the Democrat talking points about Millions of people are not losing their insurance due to Obamacare. When everyone knows it is the mandated requirements in Obamacare that has made the insurance companies cancel the plans people liked and is forcing them to buy more expensive plans that they DON'T LIKE. Do these people really believe people are stupid enough to believe their crap when they read in their cancelation letters that their plans don't meet the mandated requirements so they are being CANCELED?
The US better hope the Republicans take control of the Senate and stop Obama's pen before there is nothing left to save.
