The problem that liberals are having to come to grips with is that not everyone is a liar who views things through a political lens.

When conservatives said ‘We don’t want the Affordable Care Act’, what liberals heard was ‘We are opposed to anything you propose’. What conservatives meant was ‘We don’t want the Affordable Care Act’.

What liberals expected was that once the law was passed, those conservatives really would want the act, because it was a good idea. (Of course they thought it was a good idea, that’s why they championed it.) What they didn’t expect was that conservatives, even after having lost the political fight, were being 100% honest in not wanting the law. So they aren’t signing up for it.

The idea of principles and beliefs beyond politics is something liberals don’t understand at all.

No we are opposed to anything the progressives propose because we know they do not have the best interest of the people at heart

Sometimes saying “Pass the milk” means pass the milk. No hidden agendas.
