To be clear: I voted for Obama the first time.

I just came back from the drugstore. A medication I used to pay $10 for is now $201. This is not the first time I've seen this since ACA.
I voted for Obama twice. The first time I felt like I got what I expected. The second time not so much. However I'm a Obama apologists because I don't agree with hating everything Obama does.

Perhaps if more people of the right looked at other issues other than what the GOP talking points are, perhaps they might be taken with a bit more seriousness.

This is the point I was getting at. You will never see these guys bitching and moaning about the NSA because if they did then they couldn't just whine about Obama, they would then also have to hold their team under fire.

This is the same reason they won't bitch about the bankers never being held accountable, because those same bankers bank rolled both the Democrats and Republicans so of course it's on no ones talking points memos.l

And while the righties love to talk about their constitutional rights, they have no issues denying other people's rights hence the reason they won't bitch about gitmoe..

Not to mention these same guys bitched and moaned about Obama sending troops into Pakistan to kill bin Laden, yet they fully support us bombing Syria..

I'm glad that you aren't focused on just the GOP talking points. While I can respect anyone's valid claims about say yours on ACA. Most of these guys however just repeat the same talking points that the talking heads spew out.

Never any original thoughts, just whatever the current memo of the day is.
