makes you kind of wonder why they all voted for it; and if they voted for it 'because they really really believe in it' then why they are so willing to publicly chuck such deep beliefs (that they were willing to tell such a large percentage of the American public to take a hike over) overboard.
Democratic candidates are spending three times more advertising against the health reform law than they are in support of it.
Since the beginning of Congress’s August recess, Democratic candidates have poured $930,000 into ads deriding the health overhaul but just $300,000 in pro-reform spots, according to Evan Tracey at Kantar Media.
“Go back to 2006, and even before that, and Democrats used health care as their No. 1 issue,” Tracey said. “They had a villain in the pharmaceutical industry. Now that they passed this law, it’s almost disarmed them rather than given them an opportunity.”...
Even Democratic candidates’ pro-reform ads can offer tepid support for the law. Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) ran an ad last week that mentioned his support of health reform briefly, sandwiched between other legislative accomplishments... As POLITICO has previously reported, at least five Democrats have run ads touting their opposition to health reform.
