The only way to get control of the healthcare debate

Demonize the GOP by saying that its senators are owned by Blue Cross. Or whichever the least popular insurer is in a given state. Repeat it, over and over and over again, until it's the only thing people remember about them. The more you repeat it, the more the news media will start trying to find out if it's true. The more the media finds out it's true, the more it will focus on small state Democratic senators like Max Baucus, who are selling out their party and their country for the sake of literally just a few thousand dollars in campaign money.

But nothing good happens in politics when you're playing defense. And right now that's all that Team Obama is doing.

Demonize, demonize, demonize. It's already happened to our side. It's time to fight back.
