(39,215 posts)the Rs are still fighting for them. I also have a disabled daughter who will not live without Medicare and Medicaid. I have fought the Rs for ages to get care for her. Why in God's name would I vote for the very people who are going to take that away now.
And what makes you think that a R packed Supreme court cares about anything other than cutting funds for the things we care about? They will most likely if elected in 2016 be able to add at least 3 judges to the court for life. They will control our whole way of life for at least 20 years or more. They will help the Rs and the corporations do what they want just like they "elected" W for us. Forget the New Deal programs, forget rights, forget public education, forget climate change, etc.
The issues are all combined. Their plans in every area of our lives detail cuts and privatization of everything except war.
The Democratic Party is definitely NOT perfect but do you have an alternative? As soon as I see one that can keep things out of the hands of the Rs I will vote for it.
