The left frames the debate and gullible republicans swallow their nonsense without thinking. Republicans are against “health care.” They admit it themselves. What they actually oppose is government controlled health care. Romney fell into the “firefighters, police and school teacher” gambit. Conservatives do not oppose these groups. What conservatives oppose is GSA partygoers like Jeff Neely (“I know I’m bad, but as Deb and I often say, why not enjoy it while we have it and while we can. Ain’t gonna last forever.”) We oppose laying off firefighters because of budget cuts while spending $850,000 on a water sculpture as the city of Ann Arbor did.
I’d rather have the sculpture. The union pensions will cost more in the long run.
