From Florida Wires:
The Republican-controlled Florida Legislature has put an amendment on next year’s ballot aimed at thwarting the federal health care overhaul.
Republicans derided the federal law as “Obamacare” in debate Wednesday before a mostly party line 80-37 vote in the House.
The Senate passed the amendment (SJR 2) in March. It is sponsored by Senate President Mike Haridopolos, a candidate for the GOP U.S. Senate nomination…
Excellent both on core principal and political expediency. We should find out, at the ballot box, what Americans really think about Obama’s health care plan – and it is tremendously useful to have this issue on the ballot as Obama is attempting to get re-elected. You can bet your last dollar that Obama, himself, will stay as far away from his own signature issue as possible – the job of the GOP is to tie him to it with bands of steel.
The shape of Obama’s re-election effort is already clear – spend bags of money smearing the opposition while returning Obama to Mr. Hopey-Change of 2008. No substance, no proposals…just, hey, remember how you used to like me? (And don’t you hate that nasty guy I’m running against?). If we pin Obama down to Obama, we can beat him – as long as people are fully cognizant that a re-elected Obama is, indeed, a re-elected Obama, we’ll win. If Obama can snooker people in to thinking that a different set of events will come out of his next four years, then we’ll lose. And, so, we should try to get ObamaCare on as many State ballots as possible…and throw in measures opting States out from “cap and trade” and other Obama inanities, as well.
