4. Mostly it's that they know that Americans have short memories.

Every time they get into power, they rob us blind and trash the joint. We throw them out of office, and elect Democrats to clean up their mess. And, when a bit of time passes by, they fear-monger about the deficit, socialism, evil brown people coming for your jobs and money, and all of their other boogeymen. Next thing you know, they're back in, and at it again. Every. Fucking. Time.

When you read that abomination of a bill, please note that much of the worst of it doesn't kick in until AFTER the mid-terms. They know they can use the short memories of the American people to put the blame for the mess they created on the Democrats, and people will fall for it, like they do every other time. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Time to break that cycle. Never let the people forget.
