We passed it in 12. No one wanted, and many still don’t want, to face reality. They were and are too busy convincing themselves that running out and voting for Romney would show the GOP how serious we were about electing a conservative.
Oh wait. It did. Thus they totally ignored us on Amnesty/Obamacare because we collectively proved we don’t believe the things we claim to. If we did, we would not have voted 2 elections running to elect the very people refusing to stop them.
Just to reinforce the point, earlier today there was a thread about Rick Perry. On that thread, people were STILL making excuses for him and his Hillary love, among other things. A couple days ago likewise. People STILL try to paint RandPaul as a conservative hope for the future. I have even seen a couple posters admit they’d vote for Jeb or Mitt in 16.
Complete denial of reality. Whether that’s from fear, stupidity or paid work from the GOP I dunno for sure but I have my suspicions. It is, however, the exact reason we are in this mess.
Wasn't lost on me. But I'd quibble with you on when the event horizon got passed. IMIO, it was 6/28/12, when one intimidated SCOTUS judge proclaimed that ObolaCare passed Constitutional muster.
THAT was the day we went over the precipice.
