> [@Bricker](#): > > Understood. But surely **Shodan** is simply one example, and a larger sample size assists in more accurate conclusions… doesn’t it? Its hypocrisy in Shodan’s case even if it isn’t in yours. Unless you care to point out the hypocrisy of posters who said “elections have consequences” in teh past but who feel they shouldn’t have consequences now, I don’t see your point. I think there is a significant difference between Obama instituting health care reform (somethign that was so clearly a part of campaign) and what Scott Walker is doing. Heck I even agree that it was stupid of Obama to push health Care when the country was still in the depths of the greatest recession since the great depression, but we can’t pretend like he surprised us with it. ---

Do you have a cite where I said that elections do not have consequences, or that the Democrats had no right to try to push health care reform? > > Regards, > Shodan Well, if he doesn’t then ignore my post saying you were being hypocritical.
