The Republicans have done absolutely squat for the American people. Actually, they have done plenty - of harm - to the American people.
They know that along with Social Security, Medicare/caid, minimum wages, protection of the environment, and support for public education - among many, many other initiatives important to most people - the ACA will be a good thing for people.
This country simply has to wake up to what Republicans truly are - quite simply, the guardians of a small but powerful group of special interests that are diametrically counter to the interests of the majority of Americans.
It is not exaggeration to visualize what this country would be under Republican rule: the "Christian" equivalent of a radical Muslim state.
The Republican "leadership" has displayed hate, racism, and a callousness towards the American people. Their actions are actually far more dangerous and destructive to America than is the perceived threat of terrorism.
It's time America realized that.
