Considering how far people go here ot evne provide evidence and links for source here, they actually do a pretty good job at fairly assessing Romney.

And it's nice to point the finger at conspiracy theorists, right wing nut jobs, and upset voters. Thing is people are getting laid off and hopefully if they knew it was coming have saved up for the holidays and other unforeseen things. And there is the fiscal cliff thing as well. Romney lost, fine better luck next time. Obama won, fine now quit gloating and get too work! |

@Criticizing Romney: What's wrong with a bit of Schadenfreude? He is the loser of the hour...
Everyone likes a loser, in fact, this might make Romney more electable now... He has experienced (perhaps for the first time) the sting of utter and complete failure. |

(Personally, the stupidest of the recent health care ballots was found in Missouri, where the constituents prevented the state's governor from having the power to set up the health care system (they were comfortable enough to re-elect a democrat, but not comfortable enough to give him the power every other governor now has?), effectively forcing the federal government to step in and do the task for the state. The Show Me State literally screwed themselves over for no apparent reason.) |

People are starting these initiatives to voice their displeasure with the mandate. Many don't have a problem with Health Care reform at all, it is the mandate that is the issue AFAIK.

Additionally, I think that many people just feel the Federal government has gone too far in its legislation/control of people's lives. There is even an initiative for Lousiana to secede from the Union (not that this is new, these things happen a lot after elections these days). My point here is that the polarization of the country isn't lessening, it's expanding and getting worse.

From the article: Quote:
Nothing there indicates the belief that this is a symbolic endeavor, and after looking up the proponents for the ballot and their rhetoric, nothing indicates that the officials ever explained to the electorate that the initiative was symbolic. Quote:
Quote:
It would have been just as easy, and even more damning, if the state of Wyoming merely came together to vote on an official resolution to be sent to D.C. indicating that they dislike the mandate. Instead they created an actual law that will be immediately overturned, confusing the electorate and making them even more distrustful of their government(s). It is pure politics, the kind you've been railing against in this thread since its inception. Last edited by james0246; 2012-11-10 at 13:31. |
