(62,325 posts)up shit, pretending to be huge 'supporters of this president'. They are the ones this OP is about.
Those criticizing the policies of this president are rightfully angry. The are DEMOCRATS. Did anyone expect that actual Democrats would not be angry after all the decades of fighting off Republicans from touching SS, with a DEMOCRATIC president slapping them in the face by offering cuts to SS, but worse, perpetuating the Republican Lie that SS is in some way responsible for the deficit?
I have a hard time even thinking about it, it makes me so angry frankly. If this was a Republican this board would be completely united right now against this disastrous proposal.
How I know whether I am being a hypocrite or not. I ask myself: 'If Bush did this would I even try to defend it'? There is no excuse, no explanation, no reason on earth for this proposal and yes, people are pretty damn angry and rightfully so.
If expressing rightful anger over something as bad as this was seems 'nasty' to you, then maybe you should ask YOURSELF 'what if this was Bush, would I think it nasty to criticize him for it'?
