The No way to success, Senate GOP strategy

My Comments on the GOP's Senate Strategy as reported by NPR.

Having so spuriously twisted every proposal in such a way as to fan the flames of fear about every possibility of any change in  the health care industry, GOP Senator McConnell's reliance upon current poll data to support the GOP position presumes that the continuous distortions and out right lies,(Think death panels here folks.), that created the public's current impressions  (what's driving today's poll data.)of what is actually in the bill will continue through election day.

Basically McConnell and the entire GOP machine are counting on being able to keep the flames of fear going with their continued campaign of misinformation.  They create false impressions, then point to them in the polls as the evidence to support their opposition. 

The GOP is betting on their ability to kill any legislation, counting on the public never getting to see any of the actual or potential benefits the democrat's plan might provide.

They are so vested in the status quo, so comfortable with their deceptions and their beliefs that they will be able to outspend any and all challengers in the upcoming elections and that they will basically be able to buy the majority again in the next election.

No doubt the GOP are counting on all those corporate donors that can now, due to the recent Supreme Court ruling that they cried all those crocodile tears over earlier,  freely  and directly flow into their campaign coffers.  After all who are they really serving by their position excepting all those special health care, insurance, pharmaceutical and banking interests?

No guarantees more of the same gravy train for this elected and their monetary masters and more of the same rising costs, and dwindling coverages and ever larger percentage of our income devoted to just trying to stay healthy.

If, the Democratic leadership cannot move this legislation, then the GOP wins.  They will paint all Democrats as those losers who tried to shove an unwanted health care plan down voters throats and will give them the trouncing they deserve.  A trouncing they will have coming if they don't prove themselves capable of getting anything done, even with large majorities in both houses and a Democrat in the White House.
