LOL, OK, OK. I’m not surrendering, I’m just cynical.
You could be right - the “swing” could move things our way again. However, many of those subjects at best require the Dems to simply “not vote” as opposed to voting for the R. Which may be good enough, but who knows?
My point was I’ve seen so many people stuck in their Dem mode and they don’t care about details; it’s just about “who’s going to give me money for nothing” - Dem. Funny how we hear how “open-minded” Dems are, when in fact they are not the source of 3rd Parties, generally. I myself voted Perot the 1st time, being suspicious of Bush. I’ve voted for some good Dems (very few, but still...). Nope, Dems are lock-step.
All valid points although, with Dems, it is often less about getting "money for nothing" (and the chicks for free!), and more about sports. Most Dem voters next squat point zip about politics, all they know is that their team either won and beat the Republicans or they didn't. For them, politics is another Superbowl competition; it isn't about policy or political philosophy. It's about beating Republicans that a teacher in school told them they should hate. The average Dem voter knows so little about politics that when they walk into a voting booth, 95% have no clue what it's about, they just know they are supposed to be against the Republicans because the DBM and some Hollyweird airhead told them they should be against these people.
Which brings us back to my original point. When they see that the Obamoron hasn't solved all the ills in their lives and hasn't given them free rent, free gas, a free iPod and an opportunity to appear on American Idol, they are going to turn on him. It's coming and I think that the timeframe is summer, probably late summer.
