(15,632 posts)Republicans, and Mitt Romney in particular, are promising to repeal it.
Therefore it is imperative for Democrats, and President Obama in particular, to vigorously DISPEL the LIES being promulgated by Republicans and the RW media to scare the American public into believing the Affordable Care Act is a threat rather than a moderate piece of legislation that expands coverage to the uninsured and protects people against the worst abuses of the Insurance industry (denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions and cancellation of polices when illness occurs).
Polls show public support for the specific provisions actually in the ACA, even if many of those same people say they are against the ACA itself. The strategy here shouldn't be boasting that WE WON and the GOP LOST, but to zero in on LIES and challenge the LIARS with Facts.
Bottom line is, the swing vote may hinge on how widely the lies are believed.
