Partisan Psychology: Why Do People Choose Political Loyalties Over Facts?

[TeyshaBlue]

So the origin of three major policies that are now firmly attached to Obama are your best examples of Republican policy change for the 99% since Nixon? Seems odd, but ok.

Where did the policy change qualifier come from? Narrative working overtime?
Plenty of actions that fly under the radar, Push. You just have to accept the possibility first.

Major policies always flow from administration to administration. What....you thought Obama invoked Social Security?

I'm fully accepting of the possibility. I was just struck by how difficult the task seemed to be to execute on. HW and Gorbi, Obamacare, GM bailout and TARP?

RE aid to Africa a noble deed to be sure, but not exactly a windfall for the 99% in the US.

Accepted...except it really wasnt difficult to execute. I literally pulled them off the top of my head. I only had to look for supporting verbage for Africa. Providing aid to the needy need not be bound by borders in order to reap benefits for us. The money poured into Aids alone benefits the planet....us included. Inversely, the US suffers for the toxic we pull around the world and the citizens often bear the brunt of foreign policy gaffes (911 anyone?).

LOL, I talk about the Berlin Wall falling and boutons switches the the coup on Gorbachev two years later. You hear that teysha, I'm a Koch-sucking VRWCer just like you!

Is it really this difficult to find a Republican initiated policy change that benefitted more than 1% over the last 40 years? Valid points TB (Romneycare and the GM bailout ), but it seems this task should be a little easier. Or are you just conditioning your responses to policy BD will accept as sufficiently progressive?

You left out the super collider, which was what immediately popped into my head given the question.

Join me for a chalise of chilled peasant's blood? Oh, do bring the grey poupon.

I'll be a little late, as I have to go out and buy myself some more money on the way.

what EXACT role did Pappy play to protect Gorby? links?

[boutons_deux]

Was Gorby threatened at the fall of the Wall? He was certainly threatened while on vacation during the attempted coup in Moscow. Where was Pappy then?
