Obama The Pusher

Wade Goodwyn finds some folks in Texas who just aren't happy with the President who was reelected by 4,500,000 votes:
GOODWYN: It is almost impossible for rank and file Republicans to think about Obama's second inauguration and not have it turned into a conversation about how the GOP does better next time. Debora Georgatos is a conservative activist who is trying to attract women back to the Republican Party. She's written a book to that end entitled "Ladies, Can We Talk?"
DEBORA GEORGATOS: In this election cycle, my sense was that it was the president's - in my view it's pandering. But through their HHS mandate that free birth control had to be provided to women, I thought it was like a lure to become dependent on government. To me that was a complete U-turn from what feminists used to always stand for.
GOODWYN: The theory that President Obama won the election by promising federal goodies is widespread through the GOP, as Obama acknowledged in his speech. So beginning on day one after the inauguration, the task for Republicans like Georgatos becomes weaning enough voters off the mind-altering federal largess so they can again see the world clearly enough to vote Republican.
GEORGATOS: Recipients of government assistance need to be looked at as victims who've been entrapped by policies the Democrats have created over the last 40 or 50 years, and it has robbed them of the opportunity to be participants in this fabulous American dream.
Republicans only try to buy the votes of the one percent.  Trying to interact with folks who aren't in right-wing crazyland may help them, also.  Unfortunately, it seems that Mr. Goodwyn was just touring crazyland for this story.
