(11,843 posts)It seems to me, that they really DID beleive that Obama could get some things done that needed doing, and now they are mad at him for NOT getting it all done. Has it occured to them, that in order to actually GET the kind of REAL change that this country REALLY needs, President Obama would have had to spend the first 2 years of this term utterly destroying the GOP as a Nationally viable Party, and then spent the next 2 years passing so many "radical, left-leaning, socialist-communist" changes that they would have NEVER voted for him for re-election ANYWAY?
I'm not saying this is WHY your dad is voting the way he is, but it seems like it might be the cause for some others who are going to vote the same way...
I mean really, when the GOPer's I know say, "well where is the Hope and Change we were promised? I don't see it, that must mean Obama is a failure as a President.", why isn't OUR response,
"Well, what CHANGES were YOU Hoping for? What did YOU expect him to do for this country (as a Republican)?
And whatever their answer, I bet OUR response would rightly be, "Go ask the Tea Party about that."
