RETREAT! – House Dems Huddle In Maryland, Party In Full ObamaCare Backpedal

February 13, 2014

  • As House Democrats spend the day snowed in with Nancy Pelosi, the party is engaged in a full-scale retreat from the law that just weeks ago they vowed to run on.

  • And while they headed up to Maryland, Pelosi’s Super PAC released an ad bashing the law in a last-ditch attempt to save an embattled Democrat.

  • With friends like this, no wonder ObamaCare is so unpopular.

  • Democrats are still trying to figure out a way to overcome the canceled plans and lost jobs that are now a hallmark of their failed law. The fact that it’s not even Valentine’s Day and they’re already running scared should tell Americans all they need to know about their prospects this November.
