(6,234 posts)One of the reasons we got creamed in 2010 was the betrayal of Obamacare. I know, many here have now decided that insurance mandates are "liberal" but there it is. Midterms already lean towards the party out of power, the GOP is fantastic at stacking them with social con issues to bring their base to the polls.. and Obama had just finished fucking over everyone who voted for him with Obamacare.
And now it seems he is bound and determined to do it again.
When we go knocking on doors trying to get out the vote, what the hell are we supposed to tell them? Forget that, what are we supposed to tell ourselves? Because I, for one, am tired of playing "It would be worse" games when it comes to the other party. What could Romney actually DO that Obama isn't doing anyway?
Is Romney gonna launch more drones at Americans? Is he gonna appoint more corporate insiders to critical government positions? Is he gonna pass MORE tax cuts for the wealthy? Obviously it would no doubt be worse, but on the other hand if it was Romney doing this BS there would actually be someone speaking out against it -- and how fucking twisted is that to have to say?
