Shhhhhhh!! I hear some scary dems jumping ship because they fear losing their seats

because of ACA. It is shameful that the same ones always turn red when there is a need to unite.
Roll call: Ron Wyden, Begich, Shaheen, and more. JUST COLLECTING MY THOUGHTS!

No apologizing for the ACA!

I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign.

Most of those now wavering voted for the ACA. Most, I don't doubt, didn't read the bill nor did their staff employees.

They let the technocrats work their magic and craft a very hefty bill that is unintelligible to the average person.

And now they are going to run away from it? Wrong. Be a man or a woman and take some accountability.

I am all for holding Obama accountable but how about those of you that voted for the law? You are also ultimately accountable for the law you had to pass before it ever went to the President for his signature.

Don't run away - stand strong. Yes there are glitches with the website and a mess of these "existing" policies but there have been similar problems with Social Security, Medicare, the Bush-era RX program for seniors, etc. We will overcome these.
