that Republicans have disowned even though they came up with it. How does that clarify where the two parties sit?

Republicans voters are so low information voters Republicans can if Democrats disown it, just choose to support it again. They can then complain about activist judges that are preventing them from making personal responsibility a part of health care. Republicans were in 2010 running on protecting the medicare system against Obama although now in power they are trying to privatize it as an insurance based scheme. I repeat Republican voters do not want clarification and certainly care not at all for consistency in their politicians.
