Obama has caved in on almost every issue.
Tax cuts? Renew them all. Heck, I was against that.
Health care? A nice little mandate, not much else. Fair enough.
Carbon tax? Nah. Cap and trade. Huzzah!
Afghanistan? Stay the course!
Gay rights? We're evolving.
Balancing the budget? 83% spending cuts.
If this guy was a Republican, I'd seriously vote for him. After some hesitation. But if he was running for the nomination in 2012 (and Huntsman wasn't running), I'd vote for him in a heartbeat (if he had this record as a governor or whatnot).
So what's annoying me? Our liberal atheist Muslim socialist communist fascist President has turned into a Republican. That's great. But instead of showing how this proves that their platform is brilliant, the Republicans have chosen to run away from their successes. Was it not just in 2009 that conservatives' worst fear was a single-payer system? Last year it was the public option. Now it's the mandate. At this rate, next year the idea everyone should have health care will be communism. Oh wait, that's already happened.
Healthcare mandates? A Republican idea.
Cap and trade? A Republican idea.
Civil unions? A Republican idea.
Afghan surge? A Republican idea.
Spending cuts? A Republican idea. (plus two percentage points)
SO WHY ON EARTH ARE WE RUNNING FROM THEM LIKE THEY'RE CANCER?!?!?!?!?!
So why aren't you going to vote for Obama? Because he lacks an (R) next to his name?
Because that's not his platform?
You know, instead of hoping that that Republicans will become like the Democrats anytime soon, you should probably just switch parties. Would be much easier.
