If the “O” is forced into using his VETO pen over and over, people are going to start to wake up - especially since so many dems are also voting with the pubbies.
It will finally become apparent that we have a tin-pot “diktater” in the WH
The Dems like to call the Repubs the “party of no”; however, they are about to become the “party of veto” when Obama the dick-tator uses his infamous pen over and over and over again.
That may be a strategy, but I believe it is not THE strategy. A comment on another forum got me thinking a bit further:
Perhaps the GOP strategy is to “fight” just hard enough to claim they fought, but they still lose. This leaves Obama’s disliked policies in place, and if people are riled up now, just wait until the parts of ObamaCare (etc.) that kick in this year, and in 2016, begin to take effect. Put another way, the GOP (for the most part) does not care about harm to citizens or the country. What they want is as many voters as angry as possible with the Dems, when the 2016 election rolls around. It’s all about political power.
Of course, some here believe the ugly results from ObamaCare will result in a push to a fully gov’t run system, but, I don’t think that will be successful. Too many voters will distrust the Dems, and too many of the Dem pols who can survive 2016 are now in bed with the big players making money (and making donations) from the present incestuous setup.
On the other hand, even if the Pub strategy works out and they sweep the House, Senate, and White House in 2016, will they then actually fix anything? Perhaps if a strong conservative wins the Presidency, that might happen, but it seems more likely that a few bandaids will be applied, and the crony capitalism will continue.
