It's rhetoric because somehow you think it's logical to blame only one side and completely convince one's self the other side is 100% correct?
You see, Rex. This is an illusion - the bipartisan group is there because it's a psychological game. What it does is, they create two opposing people (much like the hero and the villain), then they place them into a system where they can argue back and forth, while nothing gets done, not because it's the republican's fault, but because none of them know how to think outside of their luxurious lifestyles. So when average people see these two groups, they want to fight for a cause - instead of saying "both parties have their heads up their arses", you instead say "one group is to be blamed, I will defend this baseless claim because saying they are both wrong is boring and would take away the cause I think I am fighting, when really, I am encouraging the down fall of civilization."
Then you go on about Obama Care... Man you really live under a rock. That entire thing was passed because it wasn't considered a "tax" - it WAS a tax, therefore it was passed because, well, it was forced into passing with lies that tricked you into believing, again, you were fighting a good cause. Sorry, but you have no idea of the reality behind your delusions - and what it's doing to our people every day. They are all to blame - so are you for even thinking for a second that one side is right and the other is wrong, when even a wise man has made mistakes. The denial is in your blood, Rex. And frankly, it's harder than the iron and redder than your own blood.
No One Eye, the whole thing (Obama Care) was passed because the insurance companies were putting hospitals out of business while selling worthless policies that denied coverage to those who were actually paying into the old horrendous scheme. People DIED under the old system and people in red states are STILL DYING due to the lack of an affordable reliable healthcare system blocked by red state REPUBLICANS... This is not happening in blue states and red states are also the most dependent on federal aid and also are the most job hungry states... So how do the red states try and remedy this? Not by improving the standard of living in their states but by introducing "right to work" laws so they can attract slum style work camps and turn Americans into nothing more than commodities bought and sold like slaves...
Our healthcare system is now actually (not perfect but) functioning and you do not find it odd that ONLY the Republican$ want to do away with it?
I am, with Rabel.
One Eye, you are all sophistry and no facts. All so you can relieve yourself of your duties to society and the world? Maybe it is you who have come out from under your selfish rock, only to justify your own greed.
And what of the TAXES that are being dodged by corporations?
Americans middle class people are paying their tax, they signed up for Obama care in the many millions. Yet corporations, shielded by REPUBLICANS ONLY, are still objecting to paying their fair share?
While Americans are paying this new Obama Care tax our economy and job numbers are better than when Reagan was president and our deficit is down so we are paying less in interest on our borrowed money, despite a Republican inflicted lowered credit rating in the world and billions of dollars squandered though Republican obstructionism..
An you choose NOW to turn your back on the Democrats that have bought this recovery to light?
Maybe the problem is not in trust in Democrats but the problem is YOU.
If both parties were in cahoots President Obama would have jumped merrily into a profiteering war as his counterparts would love him to do.
You have got this wrong and therefore your opinions can add nothing of value to this discussion 'til you rethink your strategy.
