I've been an active voter for about 15 years now and I've always felt that the GOP doesn't really have any interest in solving any of the problems that they campaign on because then they couldn't campaign on them anymore I guess. So let's look at the main national level domestic issues that the Republicans have focused on for the last number of years and please provide additional examples if I miss something.
Stated Priorities (not in any particular order):

• Outlaw Abortion
• Ban Gay Marriage
• Privatize Social Security
• Privatize Medicare
• Tax Cuts
• Drill Baby Drill
• Illegal Immigration
• End Affirmative Action
• Prescription Drugs

Now which of these items have they actually focused on and accomplished anything?

• Tax Cuts
• Prescription Drugs (and we all know how that turned out = Billions to drug companies)

Wow, that's it?  Please help me out if there is anything else that they actually said they wanted to do domestially and actually did?  This kind of shows where their real priorities are and anyone who thinks that Republicans politicians want to solve these problems is blinded by partisanship or stupidity.  

Most media types have been showing polls over the last few days showing around 50% approval for Obama's handling of the Health Care Reform plan and have been saying that he is loosing support.  Well as usual, the media is only part right.  Obama's ratings are low here because the LEFT had been getting concerned that he was moving away from a real reform bill in favor of "something".

Next enter the Speech tonight!  CNN is already showing at 14 point jump after the speech tonight.  Did Obama win over all of the tea party idiots?  Of course not, but he didn't have to he just had to win back the Progressives who we getting anxious with this reform bill and he nailed that for sure!
