I just don't see a lot of realism in the Republican agenda. At least Obama campaigned on some issues like health care reform and actually followed through on what he promised.
What did Republicans campaign on? Shrinking government - well OK - but they instantly scaled back their goals on that to 1/4 of what they said they would, and remains to be seen if they will even achieve that.
And repealing health care is all show. What's left?
- there isnt any! neither is the left. i knwo its a tough paradigm to accept 1 of 2********
- Conservatives should have a more constructive agenda********
- See that's just not true though. The last Congress was one of the most productive in history.********
- but think. instead of being told there is only 1 or 2. Know there is 1 or 2 but a whoel spectrum of specific issues********
- i'll bite what do u mean productive. liek diogenes rollign a barrel productive?
********
- Hmmm. Getting kind of abstract for me deathboy, lol********
- I guess I'm saying, unless you elect people who actually have some workable ideas, they are just going to sit on their ass for two years********
- two years********
- And the problem is the GOP spent the campaign talking about evil Socialist Obama but not about any real ideas of their own********
- own that would help anyone********
- Diogenes was to be seen rolling his “tub” he lived in up and down the streets. “You are all so busy,” he said, “I wanted to do something equally significant.”********
- to do something equally significant.” probably variations of quote. but represents my point********
- neither party has real workable ideals as a whole. Partys does not equal single goals.********
- is healthcare workable? yes. Is it good? depends on what healthcare, ruels regulations. As a whole? Very bad.********
- other then that i cant think of a single thing obama/left ahs done for merit. i think the same of the right too********
- politics has become a business of individual self interest sold as collective good where it fits********
- and since voters accept the reality as they sell it i dont expect any change********
- and HC has to be repealed if not its a lot of nails in the coffin. everyoen knwos it but they dotn want to believe it********
- look at majority of other countries who has it implemented to an extent and how it destorys them, and how its political suicide to stand against it********
- it hurts them, how its political suicide to to stand with logic and not peopels greed for freebies. Wallstreet.mainstree... both greedy********
- both greedy
********
- That's not true though. What Obama proposed is closest to the Swiss or South Korean system (government imposing free market mandate). And it has worked in those countries********
- free market mandate and then regulating quality of insurance provided). And it has worked in those countries********
- why has it worked? is the question. Why does swiss work? Are we the swiss.. lookign at intelligence/econ doesnt look liek it********
- like it. Is the swiss under poltical pressure to police the world? Is our cutlure similar?********
- Its liek sayign my friedns parent buy him what he wants why wont my parents?********
- to compare like that is a logical fallacy. nd retarded looking at populace/size/edu/in... its impossible to get a real answer********
- Do the swiss parents or doctors think its best to feed people pills? Integrity against lobbyists and bribes?********
- so many factors to consider, and when looked at and stacked up we're not close********
- there isnt any! neither is the left. i knwo its a tough paradigm to accept 1 of 2
