Big deal
by digby
You have to admire this Kentucky woman for her honesty. When asked why she is opposed to Obamacare, she said this:
"It's a big deal for us. Because I can't stand the president," said Edna "Tag" Pearson, a Republican who voted in Tuesday's GOP primary.
I'm fairly sure that's the prime motivator for most people who hate Obamacare. But I don't think you can chalk it all up to Obama (although the frisson of racism certainly adds to the mix.)This woman couldn't stand any president she didn't vote for and would oppose anything he or she proposed. Except war. That always "brings us together" --- or at least most of us. Other than that, though, this is team "sport" and she's playing it the way most people do. That's party politics.
