27 senators who voted for Obamacare won't be part of new Senate
27 senators who voted for Obamacare won't be part of new Senate

Topics: Beltway Confidential Congress Obamacare Senate Health Care 2014 Elections
On Dec. 24, 2009, the Democratic-controlled Senate passed President Obama’s healthcare law with a filibuster-proof 60-vote majority, triggering a massive backlash that propelled Republicans to control of the House the following year. On the Senate side, going into Tuesday’s elections, 24 senators who voted for Obamacare will not be part of the new Senate being sworn in on January. That number will increase, though the exact number depends on the outcome of several Senate races taking place on Tuesday.
To be sure, it isn’t fair to attribute all of the turnover in the chamber to Obamacare. Many senators voted for Obamacare and lost re-election battles in which they were hit hard for their support for the law, and other Democrats were forced to retire because they had no hope of getting re-elected given their support for the law. But in some cases — such as John Kerry leaving his seat to become secretary of state, or Robert Byrd passing away — Obamacare clearly had nothing to do with it.
Additionally, some outgoing pro-Obamacare votes were replaced by new Democratic senators. On a net basis, going into the evening, Democrats held five fewer Senate seats than when Obamacare passed — a number that is expected to grow as the evening goes on.
The following is a breakdown of senators who have voted for Obamacare who will not be part of the next Senate. It will be updated throughout the evening, with affected seats in italics.

Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark. -- lost to Rep. Tom Cotton, R-Ark.

Elections Have Consequences – 29 Senators Who Voted For Obamacare Are Now Goners
Posted on 9 November, 2014 by Rick Wells
We can all remember how heartless and demanding the Democrats were when they forced the obamacare package that we weren’t even allowed to see until it was too late to do anything about it down the throats of the American people.
With the exception of ISIS or the Iranian Ayatollahs, there isn’t a more deserving bunch on the planet of their just deserts than the Democrat socialists. Obama said if we didn’t like his socialism, go out and win an election. The Republicans listened.
Now the tally is in on those Democrats who were conspirators in the mafia-style forced passage of obamacare, with twenty-nine of the perpetrators no longer in the Senate. Some, like John Kerry, moved on to other, better insulated positions, but there are only so many such hiding places, and not nearly enough for them all to escape the wrath of free citizens who are treated as slaves.
For some the writing was on the wall, and rather than face overwhelming odds associated with their betrayal of their oath and the American people, they chose to avoid trying to defend their actions and simply decided to not run for another term. Some were replaced by Democrats, but more were replaced by their opposition.
Retirement could have been in the plans of some of these self-serving public servants, but regardless, a 48 percent turnover is indicative of what happens when you disrespect the wishes of the American people and treat them as if they are subjects rather than your employers.
As evidence of who works for whom, there will be a lot of Democrats cleaning out their desks prior to heading home for the holidays.
