My NYC son reports the following:
“... most of the people who voted for Obama up here, which btw is practically everyone I know, are very unhappy with the health bill and consequently stalwart democrats have been heard to say ‘I’m voting Republican next time.’ “
The question you really have to ask is “why?”
Being unhappy about the health bill is not enough IF I was a democrat...
IF there is a factor if “fickle-ness” in the way some people approach their participation in the political process, I would counsel them to get off their arses and start studying the issues and the candidates instead of relying on the idiot TV news channels for election and campaign information...Don’t get caught up in the hype and surface of an issue or candidate, and start gutting it to find out what it really is all about...
But then again you cannot depend on people to do this...Most are too preoccupied with American Idol or Survivor to worry about spending any extra time to get truely educated on political issues or campaigns...
I suspect most of the people in NYC who voted for Obama are unhappy because the Health Care “Reform” bill didn’t have single payer. That is, it wasn’t socialist enough.
I can’t see that translating into Republican Votes.
