182. Ah sabrina . . . how short your memory is. Or is it?

Who would've thunk it?

I'm sure by now that crow stuck in your craw for claiming that a Democrat "never, ever even suggests cutting SS" is smartin' something aaaaawwwful. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.

That meanie Lawrence O'Donnell {now he'll be labled a centrist Obamabot, too, I would gather} dealt the Purists on the Left a painful blow, and blew the propagated myth that Democrats never, ever try to offer cuts to S.S. right out of the water, and did so from Wednesday through Friday using FACTS, not FireDogBagger/DKos lies and misinformation.

Democrats have cut social security benefits under Democratic President Jimmy Carter - who had a majority in both chambers - and under President Clinton, when he signed into law taxing social security benefits for incomes over $34,000. Their reasoning was exactly the same as President OBama's: to preserve and lengthen Social Security. But those were real CUTS to BENEFITS, not a COLA change, but real CUTS. How does that feel now. Painful that this Obamabot had to point out the truth to you, huh? President Obama has proposed a tiny adjustment in the COLA formula to strengthen and lengthen Social Security and this site is full of Purist-Leftists excoriating him for it. So why the difference of treatment between Presidents Carter and Clinton, and President Obama? hm.

Democrats and Liberals are known for doing their research. They - usually - don't jump to conclusions or hold a purity view of every policy being offered. That's what TeaBaggers do. So when I see this happening on DU, it underscores the truth of my contention that President Obama can't catch a break from the Purity-Lefty (14.9% of the Democratic Party, btw) that, for some strange reason, really hate this president, as you prove with your posts that are usually filled with anti-Obama sentiment.
