It finally dawned on me why the republican and their “tea party” allies did so well at the last mid-term elections, obstruction and brainwashing of white, middle America notwithstanding. You see, these guys have long understood that most American want something for nothing, and above all, feel absolutely no pain at all. From C-section to home-equity loans, sacrifices aren't most Americans' cup of tea. Serving in the military is good for the underclass, and everything will miraculously be solved by the almighty “tax-cut.”
It also helps that our Christian values and support provides some divine "seal of approval" to these voodoo politics that were invented and introduced by the late President Reagan. While in the UK, David Cameron is inflicting suffering on his subjects right now, our US Democrats prefer postponing that pain and passing it on to our kids and grand kids who will only feel the horrendous bite down the road. It's thus pretty understandable that everyone is rallying around the totally painless Republican prescription!
