Women will really feel the impact of Obamacare - not that Dems actually care
snip
The question, of course, is what happens now? Is the sinking of the SS Obamic going to echo down the decades as the political disaster of the century that changed U.S. politics forever? Or will it turn out just to be the "glitch" that our MSM masters want us to believe?
The answer lies in the hearts of the women betrayed by Obama, the women whose carefully considered health-care arrangements have been busted up, the kind of women telling their health-plan cancellation stories in this post at the Matt Walsh Blog (http://themattwalshblog.com/2013/10/21/the-definitive-guide-to-how-obamacare-is-destroying-american-lives/). Will they call the wayward president to account for his lies, or will they submit to his patriarchal power as women have done down the ages, from hapless Briseis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Briseis)to the wily Scheherazade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheherazade)to the famous feminist that Jean-Paul Sartre existentially treated like a doormat: Simone de Beauvoir (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simone_de_Beauvoir)?
Forget about our brave conservative women. Don't worry about the "Julias." It's ordinary middle-class women that I'm wondering about, the non-political women that just want their families to have a good health plan, one that they like and one that they can keep.
So what happens next? Do Republicans learn to message and trot out the sobbing mothers of autistic children that had their premiums tripled and their deductibles doubled? Does it all end up as a Republican Congress in 2014 and a Republican president in 2016?
Maybe. But think back to 2008 and the TARP bailout and the Obamic fundamental transformation: they provoked tens of thousands of women to start the Tea Party. Keli Carender (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keli_Carender)was one of the first right here in Seattle. Now, of course, she's graduated into the semi-establishment Tea Party Patriots.
Suppose that right now, all across the nation, there are Healthcare Moms starting to talk to their friends about their canceled health plans. Suppose by next month they are starting to do something about it. Suppose by next spring they are starting to get active in Republican Party races.
The Republican Party doesn't operate by top-down messaging like the Democratic Party. It gets taken over every decade or so by some bottom-up groundswell. That's because the Republican Party is the party of the People of the Responsible Self. Responsible people don't wait for the ruling class to get around to sending a community organizer down to their neighborhood.
When they get sold down the river responsible people figure it's their job to start paddling and make a difference. Especially the women.
