But have they bailed on their love affair with socialism?
Or are they just disappointed in Obama because they thought that he’d be the one they’d been waiting for to implement it “right”?
They are bailing because they've figured out that they are the people Obama is counting on to finance this thing. (They thought it was a great program when they were still under the impression it was being paid for with other people's money.)
They thought they were getting a free lunch, until Obama handed them the check.
Or are they just disappointed in Obama because they thought that hed be the one theyd been waiting for to implement it right?
You're exactly correct! These indoctrinated, state-schooled "yutes" still buy into the religion & ideology of socialist/left-wing/marxist hogwash. Even if they are momentarily soured on 0dumb0, they will still pull the lever for left-wing socialism by voting the demoCRAP party line at every level of city/county/district/state/congressional rep/ senator officials. It takes a near conversion experience for someone to vote conservative (or even republican) once they buy into the demoCRAP party line.
My phat ass sister-in-law is the same way. Six years after 0dumb0 has been in office, she is still blaming Republicans (just like 0dumb0 is) for basically not giving 0dumb0 & the RATS a blank check to spend as much as they claim they need. In her phat-ass mind, the only reason 0dumb0Care is not working the way it was promised by RATs & 0dumb0 is because the Repubs haven't folded on every spending bill. She could pay premiums of $50,000 annually with no deductibles, and she would STILL pull the lever for 0dumb0 & the RATs.
As Michael Savage so aptly described it, Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!
They’ll glom onto the next socialist, natural law rejecting, gimmee free stuff democrat faster than a drug-addled single mother gets a new sex partner.
Hence yesterday’s Obama speech, which sounded as if it could have come straight from an Occupy camp.
A mark of sheer desperation IMO.
I go with your assessment, MrB. Obastard is being deserted by the idiots because he’s not lefty enough for them.
-——But have they bailed on their love affair with socialism?——
Of course not....only the part where they pay for it....
>>>But have they bailed on their love affair with socialism?
No.
A libertarian historian named Ralph Raico talks about this in one of his lectures. When he first began teaching history and politician science, he would have his students “compare and contrast” sections of the US Constitution with sections of the Communist Manifesto. He no longer does that because most of his incoming students already overwhelmingly agree with the sentiments of the latter rather than the former.
>>>Or are they just disappointed in Obama because they thought that hed be the one theyd been waiting for to implement it right?
Yes.
Many lefties I know wanted Obama to implement a single-payer system. “He didn’t go far enough with Obamacare” they say. When I point out the vast decline in medical outcomes under single-payer systems, accompanied by vast increases in waiting times, they stick their heads in the sand and go into denial mode, “That’s not true!!”
Deny, deny, deny.
