Democrat Chief of Staff: "This Either Gets Fixed or This Could Be the Demise of the Democratic Party" (Limbaugh, healthcare)

[LoveToRow]

Sources who attended a meeting of House chiefs of staff on Monday say the room was seething with anger over the immense damage being done to the Democratic Party and talk was of scrapping rollout events for the Affordable Care Act.

“Here we are, we’re supposed to be selling this to people, and it’s all screwed up,” one chief of staff ranted. “This either gets fixed or this could be the demise of the Democratic Party.

“It’s probably the worst I’ve ever seen it,” the aide said of the recent mood on Capitol Hill. “It’s bad. It’s really bad.”

These Democrat liars deserve every bit of angst they're complaining about. They need fired, bad.

But the senior officials say the most important thing the White House can do
right now is to get the implementation of the healthcare law right. The feeling
in the West Wing corridors lately is that once the rollout is fixed, the public
will see all the positives behind ObamaCare.

I think the observation, expressed above (and taken from the linked article in the OP) is accurate. I don't expect the Obama-haters, or the America-haters to be doing things to help this country. On the contrary, they seem thrilled every time the USA is weakened. This too shall pass.

I don't think the ACA hasn't had time to work (or not) because of the website glitches. I think a more honest assessment can be made down the line a bit.

“Is he even more unpopular than George W. Bush? I think that’s already happened,” said one Democratic chief of staff.

Holy Mary, Mother of Jesus. Say it ain't so!

The theme for the Dems in the next 12 months is
"Fix but not repeal" the ACA.

Honestly if were Republicans. I would just keep the tea party members and the rest. Keep their mouths shut and do nothing.

Let the side effects of the ACA run its course.

Right now Repubs are finally being smart. Don't do anything to divert attention away from the ACA.

Because of the govt shutdown. Most of the public didn't see what was going on with the launch of the website.

The one thing that has absolutely been revealed in all this mess is just how dishonest Obama and his administration really is. The obvious contempt for the American people is appalling, but not as appalling as those who continue to make lame excuses for the man.

And then you have the Obama supporters who insist upon casting blame anywhere but at the ones responsible. If the nation is being weakened it is by the repeated mistakes of a very flawed administration, a flawed senate and a flawed house.
It has now been revealed that Obama and company were made very aware that the website wasn't ready. He was aware that policies would be canceled and in fact was aware even before he made his false promises. How can you or anyone else excuse such blatant dishonesty?

I agree dems voted it in . We needed to pass it to know what's in it . Dems would not negotiate to delay it. Their baby let it speak for itself .

OP...how many ways can you package the same premise? How many threads have you started on the same damn issue? I suppose you take your lead form the repetitiveness of Faux News and Limbaugh. Ad nauseam talking points, rhetoric and spin. Boring...to say the least. Wishful thnking on your part too...btw. When all else fails due to the eventual and inevitable success of the ACA, you can always fall back on BENGHAZI or Fast and Furious or the IRS non-scandals. Face it, the right wing base is shrinking and the only way for the GOP/Teapublicans to ever prevail is by throwing any **** the can conjure up against the wall to see what will stick...or by stealing elections.

"Getting the law right" still results in metering out-

higher monthly premiums
higher costs
lower levels of care
higher taxes
higher federal debt
limited physician choice
higher numbers of uninsured citizens

- to the American public. "Getting the law right" would be like getting the Missouri Compromise or Jim Crow laws "right".

I am amused, but not surprised, that libs tend to dismiss that there is ever such a thing as a bad law. If the law causes more harm than good, why not eliminate it? That would make common sense, but when has a liberal ever shown common sense?
