Things fall apart for liberals

  The medicare mess seems to be imploding on the Obamabots.
  Forty percent of youth are persuaded by Romney. Not too strange considering the current job market, the attack on entrepreneurialism and the fact that 80% of jobs in this country are found in small business.
  The Daily Beast has an article by moderate Democrat Kirsten Powers in which she details this support and the rationale behind youthful thinking.

Enter Ryan. While Democrats attack his Medicare plan as “radical” and portray him as pushing granny off the cliff, young people don’t seem to be buying this caricature. Or maybe “radical” is what they want. 
A Zogby/JZ Analytics poll Tuesday showed increased support among voters 18-29 for the Romney ticket, which pollster John Zogby attributed to the Ryan pick.  President Obama received just 49 percent of the youth vote, versus Romney’s 41 percent. 
  This is in the same online magazine in which is running an article about how the GOP plans to block the black vote.  

  Romney/Ryan seem to have turned the argument back against Obama, pointing out the raid on Medicare's funding doesn't seem to be going over very well with senior citizens. Romney makes the point over and over that no one over 55 is even affected in their plan while the Obamabots have been revealed as bureaucrats who will set limits on the amount of health care senior citizens receive.
  That has already begun, with government entities discouraging the use of yearly testing such as mammograms as "unnecessary."
  Tactically Romney is not like McCain: he knows how to win and, right now, at least, seems to be unafraid to go after Obama, even though he's accused of being a racist by calling Obama angry and arrogant.
  NRO has an explanation why liberal arguments against Romney/Ryan are failing:
it is beginning to become apparent that the Democrats are totally unprepared for the coming fight. Their defenses so far fall into roughly three categories: Ryan did it too, the Obamacare Medicare cuts aren’t very serious, and finally what can only be called frantic distractions. Even as pure demagoguery (let alone as efforts at actual substantive arguments) all three are exceptionally weak defenses, and suggest the Democrats could be in serious trouble.
  Each argument is taken apart over there. 
  Obamacare's falling apart too. If you don't think this is true,  read this article at Hoover which takes apart all the problems with this horrendous legislation. Here's one paragraph that details the issues; it's not a short article but it's a fascinating read.
Public officials, at both the federal and the state level, are grappling with the Herculean task of implementing the law. Its internal complexity and flawed design make it a program that was built to fail. The most recent evidence of the ACA’s administrative breakdown comes via the New York Times in a story by Robert Pear—no enemy of Obamacare—who reports that the fine print of the ACA could leave the dependents of millions of low-income employees without coverage from either their employers or the ACA’s insurance exchanges.
  Lack of understanding the legislation, lack of resources, lack of doctors, lack of direction,  myriad pages and pages of undecipherable gobbledygook. The problems go on and on and are nearly if not insurmountable. 
  In fact, the lack of ability to implement the legislation appears inevitable and nightmarish.
  This may be the undoing of the Obama administration, even though much of it will unravel after the election.
  Still polls are moving toward Romney, whether those are internal polls or polls rigged by the MSM.
  And then you have the defections, not the least of which is former Democrat Artur Davis who has recently left the Democrat party. Artur Davis seconded Obama's nomination but is now so disgusted with his former party that he may run for office as a Republican.
  Davis is also stumping for Romney.
  You can follow him on Twitter here.
   Ryan's selection has injected vigor into Romney's campaign.
   Any objective observer might note that things fall apart, even for Chicago mobsters.

  1. You said "Lack of understanding the legislation, lack of resources, lack of doctors, lack of direction, myriad pages and pages of undecipherable gobbledygook."

    See that's the problem you're facing. What you call gobbledygook is what you don't understand. Most people fear what they don't understand. If you don't understand it you should learn what it means instead of parroting RNC/Fox News talking points. I'm no liberal nor conservative. I'm an intelligent person that understands lies and distortion very clearly. Your blog sucks.

  2. Who told you that you were an intelligent person? Did it ever occur to you that some things are written in a way so they can't be readily understood?

  3. "Your blog sucks."

    If you're so apparently intelligent, as you say, then it'd be nice if you could actually articulate a reasonable response.

    What. I'm ugly? I'm a murderer? I'm stupid? I'm an (expletive deleted)? I haven't paid my taxes.

    I don't have the greatest confidence in public officials, but you'll note from the post that they're having trouble understanding how to implement cumbersome, expensive, bureaucratic legislation that will destroy health care as we know it.

    But then I waste my logic on you.
