(1,309 posts)When was the first 40 years? Do you suppose that the repubs have been in the wilderness? What history are you looking at-did you forget Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, The two Bushs, the triangulation of Clinton? These were all great eras in which republicans expanded their ability to promote the interests of their rich donors.
As for the rest of the story, even in Kentucky we play hot potato. Have you noticed now republicans are trying to distance themselves from this public display of their objectives? Let me see, 2.3 million signatures delivered to President Obama stating opposition to any any cut. Progressive democrats telling the people to primary those who would support this robbery. I will not again outline the varied groups in opposition to this but Obama's outrageous act has united us and made people of both parties start to realize government must be for the people.
You have no idea how this story ends. I and many millions of others probably including yourself are writing the story as we speak and we will end it in a way you will like.
