The Republicans objectives in politics are twofold:

(1) Keeping control of government.

(2) Proving government is ineffective to the voters by downsizing, disabling or permanently eliminating that part that serves the people at large, while ensuring government does serve big money. To the GOP, 'effective' government is a government that keeps them in power.

(1) Control of government is done by controlling elections, which can be bought with advertising, spreading lies, dividing the electorate with hate, relying on the silence of compliant corporate TV news, manipulating voting by reducing voter registration among the poor & voter ID laws, or using the courts to stop recounts. Using government to serve the rich, insures a continual flow of cash from the rich, who view buying elections and the GOP as a good investment. To maintain the support of the rich, government must serve them well, wealth must be supported and augmented, their taxes reduced, doing so pays off where it counts, in dollars.

(2) The Republicans have fought Social Security and Medicare since their inception. Ronald Reagan fought Medicare in the early 1960's and George W. Bush said 'there is no SS Trust Fund' in 2005.

The fly in the ointment for the GOP is the fact that general revenues must soon be raised to pay back the SS Trust Fund or over $2 trillion. That means raising taxes on the rich, the GOP funding base. The rich absolutely do not want to assist in paying off the Trust Fund. For the same reason, the wealthy want to cut Americans loose from government funded health care, be it Medicare or Medicaid.

Obama will protect those programs. Romney will not. That's why the millionaires and billionaires behind Restore Our Future are talking about their own future, not ours.
