Not to sound conspiratorially minded...
...BUT...
...the dems aren't even trying to hide the fact they're breaking every promise they campaigned on while doing everything they can to piss-off the American people.
I presume they want to be re-elected.
Are they A) oblivious to public sentiment or B) planning to forego elections and thus don't care what people think because they are entrenching themselves like the bloodsucking ticks they are and elections are so-o-o-o last Tuesday.
Actually, they're not dumb. Not by half. Or rather, they know that half of the people--namely those that benefit most from big government, will vote for them regardless. Even in the November elections, if you break down the vote by income level, it's very, very close in every income bracket save one: the under $50,000 income bracket, where Obama won 60-38.
LINKBreak it down further, and you'll see the lower the income, the more likely one was to vote for Obama. Above 50K/yr, the only income bracket which had more than a 2-3 percent differential was in the 200K+ bracket, which surprisingly went for Obama 52-46, almost the same as the popular vote.
The Democrats are well aware of the fact that the people who will vote for them will not be hurt by the explosion of government. Rather, it's the DU-types with their hands outstretched who will religiously pull the "D" lever each and every time for their "free" government programs (well, free because THEY aren't paying for them), never realizing they in fact are the ones responsible for selling not only themselves but their progeny for countless generations into a servitude which guarantees only the most basic of existences. Hope? Hardly--they voted to kill hope in November, and the Dems know they can count on those votes, feeding them just enough crumbs to keep them voting the same way, like rats in a maze, giving them token rewards for doing what they were trained to do.
