Hard for many pols to break the habit of seemingly popular programs that have become too expensive to perpetuate, but it will have to be done before long because the money is all gone.
As for your execrable major-party opponent (excluding Zero), there’s no way I could’ve spent 6 years (as of 2012) railing against him, his agenda, his character (or rather lack thereof) and the like and turned around and supported or voted for him. It was bad enough in 2008 (and I have since repudiated that vote due to McCain’s unfortunate longevity), but that was the final straw. I have no intention of feeding the beast known as the Republican wing of the bipartisan big gubmint cabal. It has got to be killed.
Agreed.
