1 to go

Ask an angry American what their vote will mean tomorrow, and often you will hear...."roll back Obamacare". Then you ask them what they would roll back and they stare back at you dumbfounded. They claim "we don't want government run healthcare", but the public option was never included in the bill. They don't want government run healthcare... but do not want Medicare shut down or prescription drugs for the elderly eliminated, both hugely expensive government programs. They want a job... but are voting to stop all Federal hiring, which means some good infrastructure projects and green jobs that could have been sponsored by Government will go away. They don't want high taxes..... They have already received a tax reduction under President Obama and he agrees to extend reduced tax rates for 98% of Americans. They want Wall street and greedy bankers controlled.... Tomorrow they may vote for the very party responsible for such greed in the first place and will conveniently forget that the Democrats have passed legislation to already stop what they want stopped. They want control of our borders....but Obama has deported more illegals than did his predecessor, has sent more border guards and penalized more companies for violating the hiring laws of this country. They want terrorism controlled....but more militants have been killed by drone attacks than were under George Bush......They want unemployment to go down....well so does the President, but they are voting for a party that voted against real job reform as proposed by the President. The anger is real. The promises are fake. The Republicans did not deliver, and won't deliver this time. Gridlock will continue, anger will persist, and again, our impatience will lead us to make a bad decision. The tea party movement wants you to believe that you can shrink government, but you cannot. If you believe what is being said, then you will be disappointed tomorrow. Where are you Americans for reason and truth?
