    Knowing what a politician says requires people pay attention and listen to the actual words. Plenty of people vote republican because they/their friends/their family always have. The thinking about who you’re voting for just doesn’t happen.

    I’m somewhat hopeful, but not really expecting, that this extreme example of government program cuts will wake up some of those voters.

      Probably not. Classic R strategy is to always blame the D’s, even if it was because of the R’s.
