Health Insurance Reform -- Are Democrats being outorganized by the GOP?

[rhombus]

Which side is getting its health care message out the door more effectively, Dems or the GOP?
Are the Dems being outorganized on the ground?

1. On the specific issue of astroturf mobs at townhall meetings right this moment, yes.

[Wapsie B]

4. Agreed. I see this is an act of desperation.

[BlooInBloo]

7. Yep - it's an erratic, unpredictable tactic...

All it takes is one of them saying or doing the wrong thing, and it'll all crumble.

And that's assuming we don't get our act together and counter it effectively.

2. The corporations are backing the Repukes

Both the insurance corporations AND the media corporations.

10. No they aren't. AHIP stood with the Pres at his press conference and went to all the meetings.

The Repos are fighting reform.

The head of the Drug Lobby was on all things considered just the other day backing the reforms because it will mean they sell more subsidized drugs to more people.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

3. Yes. They have an easier message to sell and they are selling it well.

[Uzybone]

5. At this time yes

writing op-eds and blog posts aren't going to do the trick.

6. Only if you believe the MSM and a few dozen morons

President Obama's political arm, Organizing for America, will be canvassing and hosting rallies across the country.

A lot of people thought the tea baggers were winning too. Noisy, lunatic mob = FAIL.

8. Right now it sort of reminds me of the Failin roll-out.

Lots of talk about how she's the masterstroke(r) only to be undone by her own displays. The teabaggers are being exposed, slowly and surely. In the end it will probably backfire.

[Hansel]

9. No. The GOP is being outorganized by the GOP.

This is going to backfire on them.

This is the stuff that the American voters are sick of. It will only serve to remind people of why they like Obama and hate Republicans.

11. No. The MSM is (surprisingly) giving the disruptions a fair amount of coverage. If the Dems

fight back, there will be fist-fights, bloody riots and arrests. We don't need that.
