If Obamacare is becoming more popular . . .

September 16, 2010 by B. Daniel Blatt

. . . how come Democratic candidates

. . . . are spending three times more advertising against the health reform law than they are in support of it[?]

Since the beginning of Congress’s August recess, Democratic candidates have poured $930,000 into ads deriding the health overhaul but just $300,000 in pro-reform spots, according to Evan Tracey at Kantar Media.

And it doesn’t seem that paltry expense on pro-reform spots mentions the actual legislation:

Even Democratic candidates’ pro-reform ads can offer tepid support for the law. Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) ran an ad last week that mentioned his support of health reform briefly, sandwiched between other legislative accomplishments.

“When the economy collapsed, Sen. Feingold helped pass tax cuts for 95 percent of Wisconsin family,” the script reads. “Russ also fought for tax credits for small businesses and relief from rising health care costs.

Guess voters’ views on the legislation haven’t been softening after all.

    All of this is true and I think our lefty friends are increasingly depressed. They are fewer, they comment less frequently, and they are reduced to screaming “BUSH!” inarticulately, pompously pretending they support the libertarian critique of Reagan, and so forth.

    When your intellectual betters decide how you will think and behave it is your DUTY to submit. Don’t you know what’s good for you???

    The DNC’s ObamaCare ads are going to backfire on all Obama Democrats; even the ones who did not vote for the Obamanation. The DNC is actually doing the Republicans’ jobs for them…

    Things may look grim for the Democrats, now… but I am sure that new logo will turn it all around for them!

    The biggest problem with the DNC technique is that it’s being too timid.

    They need to make more unfounded claims, and they need to call a lot more people ‘Racist!”, if they really intend to win.

    They have the correct strategy. They just need to try a bit harder.
