Opponents not evil

Sun., Nov. 10, 2013

I’m a fairly conservative Republican who does not think Democrats are evil for wanting to have the government provide health care for Americans who have gone without. But Obamacare is a flawed and potentially destructive law.

The president is part of the problem that pervades the political atmosphere with ridicule and mocking. He’s the leader, and this just is not beneficial to working through the significant problems with the law with the opposition party.

And Republicans have to get over believing they can defund the law. It just isn’t going to happen.
