California Conservative

Once again, Jim Geraghty proves that his posts are must-reading for conservative activists with this post. Yesterday, Obama administration uber-flacks David Axelrod and Robert Gibbs insisted that they’d love running on the health care issue. Geraghty’s post highlights the fact that Virginia’s Democrats aren’t quite as enthusiastic as Mssrs. Axelrod and Gibbs:

That’s funny, neither of my senators, Democrats Jim Webb and Mark Warner, have anything about the health care bill on their Senate home pages.They talk about jobs, the military, crime, Haiti earthquake rescue teams - just about everything but the health care bill. And neither of these guys is up for reelection this year.

Let’s take a look at the congressmen here in Virginia who are likely to face tough races this fall: Gerry Connolly of Fairfax County? Nope, nothing on the home page of his House site. Rick Boucher, of the state’s western corner? Nope, nothing on his House site’s main page. Glenn Nye of Virginia Beach? Nope, nothing on his front page, either.

Tom Pirriello of Charlottesville? Well, he has a survey, and a short video of him on Morning Joe discussing about a proposal to remove anti-trust exemption for health insurers, making sure to mention that 150 House Republicans backed this legislation. But certainly nothing touting the most recent version that the House is expected to vote on in the near future.

Not even my congressman, Jim Moran (D-Embarrassment), features the health care bill on his congressional home page, and he’s been a staunch supporter and he comes from a district where he usually wins at least 60 percent of the vote.

I wrote in this post that Gibbs’s and Axelrod’s target audiences aren’t John Q. Public. Rather, their target is congressional Democrats.

It’s long past time that we told congressional Democrats that we hate the huge tax increases in the bill. It’s long past time that we told congressional Democrats that unconstitutional individual mandates don’t sit well with us, either. It’s long past time that we told congressional Democrats that we hate the huge deficits that will happen the minute the Doc Fix is signed into law.

Let’s prove to congressional Democrats that (a) there’s lots of things in their bill that we hate and (b) we will show up this November to defeat every Democrat that votes for this deficit-exploding, tax-increasing monstrosity.
