“It’s official: (click here) #Obamacare debuts with more canceled plans than enrollments”
– tweet by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Jan. 2, 2014...
The Republican Party is FISHING for a reason to be elected. Their rhetoric is their lifeline and they'll contort any reality to achieve some kind of reputation for fighting for the little guy. There is nothing about the Republican Party that states they are for the little guy. Quite the contrary. So, to begin everything the Republicans claim is 'the truth' is automatically in question.
In the article from the Washington Post it is stated the claims by the Republicans have are false both in their context and their focus. The date alone on the article making this perverted claim by Speaker Boehner is a dead give away to it's falseness and it's intent. The intent was to deceive the electorate. Give me a break, this is January 6th. There was NO TIME that passed to understand the focus of the nation on the law. On January 6th there was a +/- error of 100%.
So, when the Republicans jumped on this display of falsehood to win their base, the rest of the nation only looks in disgust to the lack of facts to the statements. The Democrats have to hold the Republicans to these outrageous falsehoods in the November elections. The only fact in these statements is that they were made. The Dems should use that fact alone to demonstrate where the character of Republicans actually live. Like. What character?
The focus of the statement by President Obama was intended for those Americans that had a health care policy that meets the standards of SUFFICIENT according to the law. It probably was better said, "If you health care policy is sufficient to protect your health you can keep it." But, if he said that it would not have mattered, the Republicans would have taken out of context as they do now. The ethical content to Republicans political speech is absent. They aren't ethical. Are ethics important to Republicans and their base? It wouldn't seem to be.
So, all the money the Republicans are pouring into falsehoods and out of context ads to BRAIN WASH the electorate should be viewed by the Democrats as an opportunity to reach the public so they understand their best interests found in the law.
The reason the Democrats' message sometimes falls flat is because the Republicans speak to 'survival' aspects of life. "Death panels." "Killing women, killing children." The Republicans ASSAULT the senses of Americans too busy to actually have the facts to understand the issue. The Republicans TELL their constituencies they don't understand what the Republicans understand by the underhanded Democrats.
Republicans tell or allow the belief of their constituents that they plug into political money and cater to those cronies in their legislation because it benefits the little guy, not because they are corrupt. The Democrats have to define ethics, truth and anti-corruption and why it benefits the best interest of the citizen. Corruption is expensive. It is expensive in many ways. It assaults the citizen in insideous ways. Through lack of protections (not regulations) of the citizen for their health and consumer products. Regulations exist to protect. Regulations aren't there for the simple reason of regulation. So, why use the word regulation? If the Democrats want to use the word regulation link it to the protections it leverages to serve the citizens.
The language of the Republicans has to be challenged and if it becomes a battle cry, the Dems need to examine the GOP's use of the words and adjust the definition so the electorate has the power to reveal the falsehoods. It isn't enough to simply dispute the words, there has to be adaptation to the electorate to find their way home to their 'own best interests' that are sincerely their best interests.
Republican states have poor people. A lot of poor people. When people are poor the fear factor to hold on to survival wages has high priority. If their Republican leaders can lie and get lots of money in their coffers to legislation to pretend to protect that impoverishment, what could be better?
The fear of losing what one has when there is no residual to their survival day to day has to be dispelled to their best interests. The fear Republicans have to survive is incredible. It is also very unrealistic and there are entire economies in the USA based in that fear. The fear drives citizens to believe they can survive anything if they are smart enough. So, the idea of smart isn't even the same between the two parties.
The Democrats have to define 'outreach' to these poor citizens of this country. The Dems have to find the language. Their candidates in Red States have trouble achieving the goals of speaking about quality of life because they can't surmount the fear as it does not exist in the language of Democrats.
The Democrats aren't afraid of regulation, why? The Democrats are not afraid of government, why? The Democrats don't fear adversity, why? The Democrats embrace diversity, why? The Democrats demand their economies are based in the truth, ethics and standards of quality of life and longevity, why?
The language of Republicans embrace guns, death, killing, war, self-reliance as an ego center to life's struggles, every opportunity of wealth no matter the hardship it causes others and forget about worrying about the lives of those outside the USA, that is simply war to get them out of the way. The United Nations never enters the dialogue of the Republicans.
Do Republicans ever state "Environmental Responsibility?" Never. Why? Look at their cronies. Environmental Responsibility? Quality of life of employees? Employees, who wants them? Education? Education gets in the way of power because "knowledge is power." The electorate of the Republicans are to be powerless, hopeless and in need of prays to make it through the day because there is no safety net for them.
The Democrats have to come to terms to the reality of the Republican dialogue, their sincere priorities and realize they are no one's friend including any bipartisanship that appears to occur from time to time. Harry Reid started something and everyone is warning that he is alienating people because of it's negativity. Negativity. How do you define that? Negativity happens when it diminishes the protections to the lives of citizens and smothers political speech with lies, deceptions and falsehoods.
The USA is suppose operate on one citizen, one vote. The Supreme Court is removing that power from the country's electorate. The Supreme Court is acting unconstitutionally and the US Legislature should be all over that reality. It isn't. The current US House is basking in that unconstitutionality. That is treason. I didn't know the Supreme Court was actually the legislature, because, I don't see the legislature capable of actually taking on the challenge to overcome the short falls of the biased Supreme Court with it's plutocratic priorities.
The Dems have to find the language to have the citizen act at the ballot box in their own best interests and in contrary to the culture of fear that is their reality.
