Did you know you voted for socialism?
Despite polls showing that Americans did not approve of this health care bill, Rev. Al Sharpton insists that the American people wanted this all along. Obama ran on a socialist platform, he says (apparently not troubled by that idea). The people overwhelmingly voted for Obama. Therefore, the people overwhelmingly voted for socialism.
Sadly, he's right. Whether or not people knew that's what they were voting for, that's what they voted for. This is why mere words like "change" and "hope" as well as phrases like "yes we can" serve no purpose but to hypnotize people into voting for a disaster.
Next time, America, remember that policies matter, and they're the only thing that matters when it comes to elections. It doesn't matter how inspiring or how charismatic a politician is. All that matters is what he will do.
And what Obama has done is apparently not going to go through without a fight from several states. (See also this article.)
A victory for the American people? It sounds more like a civil war.
