4. And the party of "We know our message and we are going to stick to it because
we know the Dems can't do that."
You have to admire in Repubs that they fight to win because they want to make the rules. And when they lose, they do everything they can to stop us from making the rules--and they know we care about the "process" and being "right", so it is easy to derail us. I wish we just wanted to win and make the rules.
3. Remember the Republicans on the Hill are much more conservative
than their constituents. Therefore the Repubs on the Hill cannot be completely honest. They do not believe Health Care should even be part of the Governments Function. However, they have learned their middle class constituents believe in SS and Medicare just like the rest of America. This puts the Repubs in a position of having to appear concerned over Health Care. Since they are the party of Big Business they will produce measures which help business while making their constituents believe they are looking out for them. First smear anything the Dems might produce as socialism. Who does Tort Reform protect.
Democratic Party should but do not always look out for the Middle Working Class. They do better than Republicans. A true Democratic Party would show a stark difference between the two parties and would be in office for eons.
