One definition of a "progressive attitude" can be admitting one has made a mistake and then "progressing" to a correct solution.
"All change is not growth (or progress), as all movement is not forward."
Ellen Glascow
More accurately if a "progressive" policy fails, it can only be because they didn't do enough of it and need to expand the scope...
Obama in 2014...Floorward!!
Thank you!!
When in all of recorded history has a “progressive” -under whatever name- admitted that their policy was flawed?
!
All this being true I have zero expectation it will truly be rolled back.
GOP will pickup seats in midterm but a veto proof majority it won’t have so Obamacare will stay.
After the next presidential election a compromise bill that makes substantial changes will be passed, it will be hailed as a “repeal” but it won’t be.
Ten bucks says the very same thing happens this November.
very bit = every bit
Even if Obamacare Democratcare was a major success, it remains that Constitution-ignoring Democrats wrongly established Democratcare outside the framework of the Constitution like Democrats and RINOs have been doing with most everything else for the last 60+ years.
I think one common thread Republicans should jump on is that all politics are NOT local. The Dems are merely trying to get another vote for their national agenda, one more party vote in D.C. just as they did for Obamacare. And once they get that vote it’s for six years and they could give a flying whatever what their constituents think for five of those years. They’ve nationalized Congress, something that needs to be undone.
Another winning issue for pubs would be to keep our Internet free. I don’t know where they are on this but they’d better get their sorry butts on keeping the Internet before it’s too late.
There’s a famous line in a stupid movie, namely:
“Being a Democrat means you never have to say you are sorry.”
Or something like that.
Tsunami? We’ll be lucky to keep the House.
Watched a few minutes if SNL last night. They did their usual Fox News Morning Show parody. The topic was the fake 7.1 Million Obamacare Enrollees, with the Fox News Reporters saying Obama missed his “goal” of 7 Million.
Yuk, yuk. No mention of the 6 Million who lost their Insurance. The Fox News guys are stupid and Obama is smart. If he says it, it must be true. The Useful Idiots believe it all. Facts are a mere inconvenience to them.
The Audience laps it up and the Millions watching do as well. These Idiots Vote, and they will Vote in November to protect Mr. Stinkburger’s wonderful Agenda.
As far as the Democrats losing anything, I’ll believe it when I see it. The Propagandist’s will be working overtime to insure the Public is properly educated on the Obama way.
Let’s just say I hope I’m wrong, but I won’t bet a dime either way on the Election outcome.
Here’s an unintended (or NOT) consequence to this that affects even people WITH insurance:
So, my wife schedules to go into a doctor for a (covered for free required) physical. Due to “women’s problems”, my wife called to cancel. “Oh, come in anyway, we’ll work around it” says the office. So, during the visit the doctor pointed out twice that this was not a full physical, twice, which my wife thought was odd. So, we get a $300 bill for the visit, when we were expecting zero. Of course, the deductibles have gone up a lot, so it will be a while (if ever, hopefully) that we actually hit it. I don’t need to tell you that the insurance company pays crap (which she accepted) for a physical.
This doctor has pulled this sort of thing twice; we are done with her and her associates.
IT'S FREAKING KILLING US!
Poetic irony that the man who promised to lower the sea levels would generate the tsunami that swallowed up his devotees.
