Especially this part;

But there is yet another vote to come on this bill in November when Obamacare will be the paramount political battleground in the midterm elections that will likely lead to the defeat of at least 30 House Democrats, and possibly more, and easily half a dozen Senate Democrats–effectively killing Obama’s agenda for the remainder of his term.

Democrats already have a prepared strategy that effectively has two parts;
1- Show the immediate benefits that will accrue from health care passage. Ignore and deflect the future effects by showing the CBO analysis that indicates after 10 years cost go down, etcetera.
2- Turn the negative to a positive by embracing and promoting health care passage as a positive, not negative. For example Scott Murphy in NY is already using this as a “fundraiser”.

If our strategy continues consist of an attempt to stoke peoples anger until November, we might as well embrace ObamaCare and the Democrat majority now.

Where are the common talking points which clearly articulate, in small sound bites the long term negative affects of this legislation. Even more important, where are the clear individual and party voices speaking these simple phrases? Where is the clear legislative strategy for the next 8 months that focuses on every piece of potential legislation, most importantly jobs, and the associated ideas which we will promote, ad nauseum, with the voting public?

In order to receive healthcare you have to have a Doctor. Their isnt any tort reform in this bill, Medicare and Medicaid pay scales are horrible (and going to get worse), and the time it takes a doctor to receive the payment from the government takes too long. If doctors just stopped seeing any patients that are on the Medicare/Medicaid program wouldnt that shut down the system? I know this sounds like a drastic measure, but I dont see how doctors can survive financially when this bill goes into affect.

How much was opposition to the bill driven by the process and its endlessness, and just the fact that it wouldn’t go away? Now that’s all gone. How really opposed are people to socialized medicine? Surely, there is a large, passionate number of voters who detest this thing. But will that really translate to a tsunami in November? How will GOP congresspeople keep the American people — who even now are more preoccupied with which group of tall teenagers will win a national award for putting a ball through a basket the most number of times than they are about their liberties — focused on this monstrosity till November? It looks like a daunting messaging challenge.

As someone who has spent a good portion of his life around congressmen and congresswomen and undersand how they think, I believe conservatives get it wrong when they say this bill will lead to rationing. It will surely lead to bankruptcy, but not rationing.

Consider what will happen the first time granny is denied treatment of almost any kind. What will she do? Why, she’ll call her congressman. And what will he do? He’ll raise hell with whatever bureaucrat or insurance company executive denied the treatment. If granny is still denied the treatment, he’ll introduce legistlation to expand coverage to treat granny’s aliment and he’ll make floor speeches about the unfairness of granny’s situation. The media will pick up on it and run sob stories about granny and the others like her. Before you know it, Obamacare will grow and grow.

Don’t believe it? Have we ever cut benefits for Social Security or Medicare despite their precarious fiscal conditions? No – in the case of Medicare we’ve expanded them. What makes anyone think it will be different with Obamacare? Because we can’t afford it? Since when has that stopped liberals from doing anything? The end result will be higher taxes, more borrowing, a moribund economy and, eventually, bankruptcy.

We conservatives like to say that government is too powerful and it is. But most of the fiscal and budgetary damage is done because government is too weak in that it can never say “No.”

New Jersey Physicians, Inc., submitted their own suit yesterday in federal court in Newark, NJ, yesterday

Barbara Bachman (R-MN) already (Mon.) has introduced .H.R. #4309 to repeal the Obamanationcare. Not, that at the moment, the bill has a snow ball’s chance in H*ell, but it keeps the pressure on.

Let’s not forget that Obamacare is only one bullet in the progressive ammo clip. Cap-and-Trade has already passed congress and is now in the senate.

Cap-and-Trade is the ulitmate economy killer. We here at RedState need to stop this part of the progressives’ program also.

….I think there would be a lot more people that would get behind “repeal the bill.” Republicans have shown almost no PR strategy in the past, as they have had a bunker full of ammunition on almost every issue but have failed to use it. If I was heading up the PR, this is how I’d start:

1. First, you have to realize that we’re dealing with a majority of the electorate that don’t have the IQ that God gave a cucumber. Therefore, the arguments have to be very simple and easy to understand.You can’t just say it needs to be repealed. Remember the lady who came to get her Obama money and he guy who said passage of health care was like Christmas? He wasn’t going to have to worry about healthcare any more. This is what we’re dealing with.

2. Second, use the Democrats in their own words. Play over and over again how they said one thing and then contridicted themselves in a later statement. You have to play it over and over again. Again, a bunker full of ammunition if we would only use it.

3. Home in on items where there is an almost universal distrust. We have been handed the perfect weapon….the IRS. EVERYONE hates the IRS. So use it to our advantage. Every day hammer in the fact that the IRS will be hiring 16,000 new agents to check up on you to see if you have the appropriate government approved insurance, and if you don’t, you will be fined. And more audits. They will track you down and come to your door.

4. Remind people (again, over and over) that not only Congress but their key staff people have been exempted from the health care that they are cramming down our throats.

5. An earlier post suggested getting doctors on board. Excellent idea. The Dems would have you believe that all doctors are behind this. The AMA does not represent the majority of doctors, so get the others doctors out front. I would bet that everyone respects their own doctor more than their congressman.

This won’t change all minds, but it could be a start. The Dems, with assistance from the media, will be out there telling everyone how great this is going to be. In the simplist terms possible, we need to explain to them that it’s not.

I had a long talk with a DC insider who works a great deal on media campaigns and he is convinced, based upon his own observations over the years, that seven months from now this will be off most peoples radar screen.

A prime example that I experienced myself with another DC insider is what happened after the 2 million march on DC. Insiders reported Democrat staffers literally wringing their hands in fear. Three weeks later the statement one staffer used was (excuse my French), “The Tea Party just blew its wad”. The pressure was never sustatained – due to the lack of organizational structure, which for some reason the groups seemed to be proud of.

My own diving into the issue was an experience to be remembered. A true grassroots uprising has three conclusions: revolution that resolves the issue (think of the French), a dying out of the movement, or a re-alignment and realization that it is time to organize and have leaders. The let’s all run about and do our own thing just does not work. Their are national, state, and local strategies that must be executed. Think of one organization – company, sports team, whatever – that survived without a leadership structure that was cohesive and marched to a set of top-down directives. I can’t.

So to keep the passion alive will require a massive PR campaign. Who will fund it? Who will run it? What will the message be? How will we keep the passions stoked?

The message must be clear and tied to an overall theme. Not just why the bill is bad, but why the ideology behind it is bad. It would be to our benefit if Obama and company attempted cap-and-tax and other socialist programs, but only if our side did not assist them, obstructed, and made those items a part of the larger narrative. That’s a heavy lift with guys like Graham and McCain on your side. Let’s see how long Graham sticks to his promise of no immigration reform is ObamaCare goes through reconciliation.

So the pressure must be on the GOP leadership to buck up, not to submit, to obstruct like crazy and tell the nation why they are obstructing, and NO MORE stupid televised meetings with Obama. Yes, we performed well, but in the end it fed the Democrats narrative of “see, we tried to reach out”. Meet with the enemy only if you are going to surrender or they are going to surrender. There is no other reason to meet with them.

So any ideas which organization is going to take on this task. My recommendation is for heavy coordination that involves an alliance of many orgs. As time is of the essence, this needs to start right now and the coordination needs to begin yesterday.
