The thing that upsets me most about the hu-hu over health care is when they pass it, and lose their asses next election, we will still have it.
I recall 1994 when the Dems lost their asses over gun control. If the AWB hadn't had a ten year expiration date, it would still be law. Why do I say this? Because the Brady Act is still law. Because the Hughes amendment is still law. Because the Gun Control Act of 1968 is still law.
Changing the party in charge doesn't mean shit if the reasons we are changing horses remains. I think the Republicans know this.
Without repeals, there's no reason to vote for a Republican. NONE.
I'm "wasting" my vote on a randomly selected third party from now on until the candidates start running on platforms of repeal.
In a related note: Several people have noted that if the Tea Party forms as a third party in Harry Reid's district that it will split the Republican vote and he will be reelected. GOOD! I don't think the Tea Party people think they will win anyway. What this is really about is teaching the Republicans that they have to actually oppose the policies we object to, and we can make sure they lose until they learn.
What was that quote? I will beat you until you learn! If you do not learn, you will die stupid.
Update: The learning process is applicable to the Democrats too. I would be perfectly willing to vote for a Dem who wasn't being a socialist.
