New republican meme on Obamacare: 'Start over' instead of 'repeal'

[bigtree]

. . . it's supposed to appeal to women more.


(Reuters) - U.S. Republican party officials are putting together a new election year messaging campaign to reach women voters on issues including Obamacare, jobs and education as they seek to gain an advantage in the Nov. 4 congressional elections.

Their research identified the phrase "start over" as a message that resonated with many women on Obamacare . . .

Party officials say the goal is to develop messages that can capture the support of (white suburban )women and other swing voters in selected federal and state races, including the U.S. Senate contests in Arkansas and Michigan.

1. Kind of a piss poor idea

The first time around it was a huge headache for all concerned. And I suspect most folks, no matter how they felt about it, where sick and tired of hearing about it by the time it was passed. It was a bit of a messy passage for all concerned.

But yes, GOP, go ahead and ask everyone to go through that process again. I'm sure people will love it.

2. A turd by any other name still smells

They have lost the repeal battle and think if they can just start over they can still repeal it.

3. It's too late for them to appear to be concerned about healthcare. They have shown their true souls

when Obama was elected.

4. It's like they knew for sure how this ruling today would go

5. It's just a ruse

As the article states, this nothing but an "election year messaging campaign" intended to deceive less savvy voters. This is nothing more than GOP propaganda, and despite their newest sloganeering, Republicans will never offer any healthcare plan because their base will tear them limb from limb as traitors to the party orthodoxy and brand them as 'socialists'.

6. Correct. Even if their base determines it would prefer

their tax money go to their health insurance, the republican representatives' corporate masters wouldn't want them to change. So they'll keep saying they 'have a plan' in some distant future.

7. Okay, I'll buy that...

ACA was passed in 2009-2010. You've had 4 years to "start over". What exactly is the plan with which you propose to "start over"?

8. President Obama: "Make my day and I mean that as seriously as possible"

"You send me a bill that is a better deal for the American people that continues the end of preexisting conditions, lifetime maximums and provides as good or care or better while covering as many or more people at costs they can afford and I could not possibly more eager, pleased, or excited to sign a piece of legislation and I don't care if you call it the Republicans save America from the fascist, Kenyan, commie, Muslim tyrant Obama Act of 2014".
