"Don't paint me with a broad brush, man!"

Seth Leibsohn, the Producer for Bill Bennett's radio show, has been hosting the show while Bill is on vacation. He just made an interesting claim: every one of the 34 Democrats who has voted against Obamacare has made their NO vote a big part of their campaign.

I couldn't find verification of this in any articles, but I did find this on Politico, "Dems run away from health care". This doesn't sound like news because everyone has been predicting it, and to any of us who pay attention, it's just the way a democratic republic generally works. You do unpopular things, you pay for it with the populace. Excerpt:

A handful of House Democrats are making health care reform an election year issue — by running against it.

At least five of the 34 House Democrats who voted against their party’s health care reform bill are highlighting their “no” votes in ads back home. By contrast, party officials in Washington can’t identify a single House member who’s running an ad boasting of a “yes” vote — despite the fact that 219 House Democrats voted in favor of final passage in March.

One Democratic strategist said it would be “political malfeasance” to run such an ad now.

Democrats have taken that advice to heart; it appears that no Democratic incumbent — in the House or in the Senate — has run a pro-reform TV ad since April, when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) ran one.

Most of the Democrats running ads highlighting their opposition to the law are in conservative-leaning districts and considered the most endangered. They’re using their vote against the overhaul as proof of their willingness to buck party leadership and their commitment to watching the nation’s debt.

So at least 5 democrats who voted NO are advertising the fact. And none of the 219 who voted yes are bragging about it.

Political malfeasance, uh huh. Political insanity more like. As my wife tells the kids, "You make your choices."
