What I believe Norm is saying and I agree with is:
It’s better to have Obama taking away our liberties so that the democrats get the back lash, than to have Republicans taking away our liberties.
Romney’s policies were the same as Obamas. Obamacare was based on Romneycare. Romney promoted known homosexual activists to the judicial branch. Romney passed gun control legislation. Romney was a weathervane on abortion. Romney ran on the same hope/change platform that Obama did.
There was no difference. So if liberal polices were going to be implemented, then let the Democrats who claimed to stand for liberal policies do it, rather than the republicans.
Pretty well sums it up. Your facts are not arguable, though many try. But you are indeed right.
“It’s better to have Obama taking away our liberties so that the democrats get the back lash, than to have Republicans taking away our liberties.”
Yeah that argument doesn’t work... the last election is proof.
There is no backlash, because like the dems over 10 years ago the Republicans find themselves splintered from within. It’s a great political strategy if you can swing it, and they can.
No Republican in office is right on every issue with every person, it just can’t happen. Forums give voice to everyone which means even the extreme right can disenfranchise the base. So we get social conservatives who put morals in front of security and the constitution. I’d rather have some one protect my rights and secure my nation - then we can talk about the other stuff.
