As we all know 2014 is a midterm election year. A few short weeks ago I wouldn't have thought it possible for the GOP to retake the Senate but with Obamacare now making life miserable for millions of Americans I'd say that it's a very real possibility. The mainstream media and the internet surfing Obamabots (such as those posting on this site) are in a frenzy trying to do damage control and regurgitating more lies and propaganda about how great this law is. To all those whose policies are getting cancelled or whose premiums have/will increase it doesn't matter though. They are pissed off and just itching for a chance to make their voices heard next November. The Dems in Congress know it and are very much scared of what 2014 brings. This is why many of them are starting to call for a delay of the individual mandate. They don't give a damn about the harm that is being done to the American people but they are prepared to do and say whatever it takes to keep their place in Congress. It looks like it may be too little too late though. When it finally gets here the 2014 midterms may have Dems thinking of the 2010 midterms as the good all days.

None. Over 3 million will get onto extended medicaid. Now this includes the states moving their people from their state program to the fed program. Share the debt.

Look forward to 3 million more on medicaid.
California alone plans to enroll 1.6 million with 600,000 coming off of the state extended medicaid and going to the federal extended medicaid.

Why new Medicaid enrollment is soaring

None. American voters are too stupid to associate Obamacare with democrats and adverse consequences to themselves, as voters.

They will respond and vote for whoever opposes "the war on women" and "gay marriage".

Does it matter?

Democrats want 100% control over healthcare while Republicans want only 95%.

I think the Republicans forcing the government shutdown is going to affect them worse than any possible bump from ACA.

I guarantee that at least one Democrat Senator will lose his seat. Mark Begich (D-AK) managed to squeak by with a 1% victory after federal prosecutorial misconduct shifted the election in Begich's favor in 2008. Add to that the fact that Begich voted for the Affordable Health Care Act of 2010, which is hugely unpopular in Alaska.

Begich is toast. The only question is, will the next Alaskan Senator be the TEA Party candidate Joe Miller, or the establishment Republican Lt. Gov. Mead Tredwell? I will be voting for Joe Miller.

How Many Democrats in Congress will Lose their Seats over Obamacare


How many MORE Democrats will lose their seats, you mean?

63 of them already got booted out in 2010, mostly due to their support of Obamacare.

And that was before "we found out what was in it", as Pelosi said.

Now that the American people are discoveing just how bad the whole program is, and how many lies the Democrats told them to get them to "like" it, 2014 election might make 2010 look like a Democrat picnic.

Yet, in 2012, the Democrats gained seats. You guys are stuck in 2010 it seems.
