“We will lose seats in the House,” the plain-talking South Boston Democrat said in Boston Herald Radio’s studio yesterday, delivering a harsh diagnosis. “I am fairly certain of that based on the poll numbers that are coming out from the more experienced pollsters down there. And I think we may lose the Senate. I think that’s a possibility if things continue to go the way they have been ... primarily because of health care.” Lynch cuttingly questioned whether many of his colleagues who echoed President Obama’s health care promises even “read through the bill really,” noting that many mechanisms created to fund the law still aren’t in effect. Among them, Lynch said, is a hefty tax on employers who offer so-called “Cadillac” plans that won’t come into play until 2018. “There’s all these taxes and fees that are the tough medicine, that up to now they haven’t implemented. I don’t know who’s going to do that,” Lynch said. “Maybe ... they expect the next administration is going to put these penalties in place. I think that’s the time it’s going to hit the fan.”Well, that's refreshing! After months of Debbie Wasserman Schultz telling us that there's "nothing to see here" we've actually found a Democrat who's willing to give an honest appraisal of the ACA. Given the intellectual goose-stepping that's become a hallmark of the Democrat party, Rep. Lynch is brave indeed. We regret to inform him that the party must now destroy him.
