It's a bit early for the 2014 races to get full attention, but according the the Washington Post democrats are already worried. Why? Because as the enrollment date for Obamacare this October approaches, the people are growing afraid.
Smart Democrats are beginning to get frantic about the need to suppress the confusion and hide the cost of ObamaCare between now and the 2014 midterm elections. We are just three months away from the October 1st enrollment start date and so far, nothing about the ObamaCare implementation process should be politically encouraging for Democrats. In fact, the more people learn about ObamaCare, the more frightened they become. [Washington Post]
Meanwhile, in Kentucky, David Adams, who seems to delight in being dubbed a "menace" by his political detractors has been doggedly attacking the implementation of Obamacare in the Commonwealth and so far he has been able to fend off the legal wobblings of the Besehear Administration.
Franklin Circuit Court Judge Phillip Shepherd ruled this morning against Gov. Steve Beshear's motion to dismiss the second tea party lawsuit filed against him.
Plaintiff David Adams claims the law Beshear is using to justify expanding Medicaid is unconstitutional. Beshear responded that a claim of violation of citizen rights is the same as not alleging "any injury at all."
"The record clearly shows Governor Beshear's attorney argued in court that he doesn't recognize the value of citizens' rights at all," Adams said. "The judge rejected that argument, so now we go on to see if the executive and legislative branches can keep robbing us to buy votes for themselves. I don't think they can." [Kentucky Progress]
I've also heard people are becoming afraid of Obamacare. This story says so - "Has anyone else noticed how pathetically frightened the Republican Party is that Obamacare just might succeed?" http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/07/11/the-gop-is-terrified-obamacare-could-be-a-success.html
