The illogic of the angry voter

A letter to the editor from the L.A. Times:
The angry voter comes in various flavors:

* The leftist who wanted Obama to undo everything the Bush administration had done in the last eight years.

* The right-winger who wanted to be able to run on a platform that blames Obama for the years of financial damage that preceded his administration.

* The person who has health insurance, hasn't (yet) been hurt by the current system and doesn't want to help pay for those who have.

* The voter who may not have liked the imperial presidency of Bush/Cheney but resents the messiness of having Congress' constitutional responsibilities returned to Congress.

* The Social Security and Medicare beneficiary who thinks there won't be any curbs on those programs unless the healthcare bill passes -- even though there will be more limitations if nothing changes and the country can't pay for the escalating entitlements.

But the solution the angry voter seems to have chosen is to return to power the party that caused all the problems Obama hasn't yet been able to fix.

Will someone explain the logic of that to me?
I sure can't.
