First of all, they are mostly ignoring domestic policy because there is a BIG difference between Obama and Bush on these points. They tend to forget the Lily Ledbetter Act, the ACA (along with Obama’s insistence that Health Care include contraception, abortion, other women’s rights issues, etc.) along with the fact that Obama ended DADT and has made a statement that he believes that DOMA is unconstitutional (the repeal is imminent), etc., etc.


I wrote about that *exact* paragraph just a few days ago, when I was noting the utterly predictable attempts to rally us to Party when this horrendous grab of our Constitutional protections - perhaps the worst we have seen in a long, horrific line of corporate betrayals - was announced:

The rhetoric is so weak, and so easy to predict.
