It’s Not Going To Be All About Health Care In November

When it comes to the 2010 elections this year, there is no doubt that the Democrats will take a beating. The severity depends on what message the Republicans bring to the voters. Sure, health care is going to be an issue and “repealing it” should be part of the Republican platform. Unfortunately most average voters will simmer down over the issue by November and the Democrats know it.

The main focus for the Republicans and something affecting every American is jobs and national debt. These two issues are going to be with us for a long time and the Democrats now own this problem. There is absolutely nothing they can do to turn it around before November. The debt we are leaving to future generations is unsustainable. If you haven’t lost your job, the thought of it being possible lingers in everyone’s mind.

There are going to be many more issue to run on as well this fall. With health care under their belt, the administration will be going after finance reform, immigration reform and some sort of cap and trade bill next. Knowing that they will probably lose the House in November, now is the time to ram these down our throats too.

I think that the Republicans should take the gloves off now and use every issue out there to win back the votes in November. Health care will be the icing on the cake for big wins and a possible take over of both the Senate and the House, as long as we focus on jobs and the unprecedented run up of the national debt.
