I caught about 90 seconds of “The O’Reilly Factor” this evening with radio talk show host Laura Ingraham sitting in for the Irishman. Pollster Scott Rasmussen was on explaining that his tracking polls are showing that President Obama has lost not Democrats (he’s still got them), not Republicans (he never had them), but unaffiliated voters.

Ingraham turned to Democratic strategist Mary Ann Marsh and asked her what President Obama has to do to win back those people to his side.

The first words out of her mouth were something along the lines that he has to tell voters that health care reform is key to fixing the economy. That if health care reform goes through, costs will go down, their co-pays will go down, etc.

So, she’s saying President Obama has to lie harder?

Is there anyone with half a brain who is buying what she’s selling? That somehow insuring 47 million people who are uninsured will actually save money? As she waves her hands, “please ignore the $9 trillion deficits behind the curtain.”

That’s the Democrats problem on this one, there are fixes that can be made to increase the affordability and availability of health care, but the Democratic Party leadership isn’t interested in making fixes, they want “something big” – and they want it whatever the consequences to the U.S. health care system and the federal debt.
