This really is the defining issue here. So much of the Tea Party derp is based on their knee jerk reaction to anything that Obama does, regardless of whether or not they actually want it.

I have a friend whose wife is sick. They don’t have health insurance. He doesn’t make a lot of money.

I just saw her on Facebook threatening to start a new country deep in the wild to avoid Obamacare.

How is it that she thinks that something that’s so plainly designed to help people just like her is actually something she is willing to give up her home in order to avoid? Where does that even come from? I contend that beating back this ugly racism is the key to beating back Tea Party-ism. They go hand in hand. The GOP folks who sold their followers the lies about Welfare Queens created a monster, but that doesn’t excuse people from falling for it.
