Yes, I have noticed this as well. Especially since we have a Black Democrat president.
Some of the very policies or ideas his opponants have in the past suggested would be immediately villified the moment he embraced they're ideas.
It's just crazy.
But I believe it is more than just partisianship in nature. I believe it is also having to do with the Corporations being able to shape policy at the expense of common sense and the common good for the short term profits. All the sudden in 2014 we can see corporations beginning to back pedal and be all about US workers manufacturing again as opposed to liquidating our factories and shipping jobs abroad. It is saccarine and fake as hell to see a Walmart commercial touting US home grown goods now.
Now that we have had such a tremendous backlash from decades of Banks and Corps stuffing they're collective gullets they have realized they were killing the goose that laid the golden egg. The worker. Now and only now do we see the importance of small business and reinvestment in the public good. But the paritisianship continues in ernest.
