That would be preferable. I hate to see the little guy pay for the big guy's greed and gluttony and outright lies and completely avoidable mistakes in judgment. But I also hate to see the little guy keep being taken in by these lying assholes! How many of them voted because they believed bob corker's insinuation that it'd mean more jobs and more manufacturing if they kept the union out? How many of 'em believed that unions are no good, and don't speak for the little guy and don't allow the playing field to even up a little bit so the little guy has more of a voice, and more of a say in his/her future? HOW MANY?
I'm with you, Fawke Em. I wish there could be a second vote. I hate to see people have to learn the hard way. But sometimes, when they DON'T listen and they DON'T pay attention and they DON'T close their eyes and ears to the toxins being spewed by Pox Noise and the radio gas giants, well, then it's sad and disappointing and a damn shame - because they're the ones who wind up getting it up the you-know-what.
I apologize, Fawke Em. I've become pretty damn cynical and jaundiced watching all this. Watching the gullible and relentlessly (some, even proudly) ill-informed and ignorant, who fall for the fetching blondes with the long legs and short skirts and the slick talkers and dumb-fucks like steve doocy on Pox Noise. And they KEEP falling for it. WHEN THERE'S PLENTY OF TRUTH OUT THERE TO BE HEARD AND READ ABOUT AND STUDIED AND SEEN!!!! If they'd just look a tiny bit deeper or look around a tiny bit more. If they don't automatically close their ears to the liberal or Dem message, as they're programmed to keep on doing by now because they're fed a constant media diet of it. If they had the same amount of distrust of republi-CON-speak as the rest of us here do. But they trust. And they believe, and they've swallowed whole the notion that all you have to do is just keep on voting republi-CON and YOU TOO will be rich someday. A "someday" that never quite gets here.
I wish it were different. I wish NOBODY had to learn the hard way. I do not celebrate this or gloat about it, either. I think it's a tragedy and a travesty. You really can lead a horse to water and then watch that horse refuse to drink. How many of them are also gonna believe the deceitful campaign ads saying the ACA is a flop and don't you believe the numbers that are now manifesting. How many???? It's a damn shame. They're hard-wired to dismiss whatever a liberal says - and for no good reason I can see. Even when the truth starts playing out directly in front of their faces.
You can't say they weren't warned. And unfortunately very few of us can say they paid any attention to those warnings. I wish there weren't a price to pay. Truly I do.
