There is nothing wrong with attacking the reasons why someone is doing something as fundamentally unsound. Why did we never see these protests during the Reagan years (the one who started massive deficit spending), or the Bush W. years (the prince of deficit spending)? I don't think that the people who are protesting actually care about this stuff as much as they claim. They only care when a Democrat is doing it. Its a political charade. Maybe it just bothers them that Obama is being honest about it while Bush W. did a lot of creative bookkeeping to make the problem seem a lot smaller than it actually was. I think anyone who complains about what Obama is doing and isn't willing to take on Reagan, Bush Sr. (least culpable, he tried to raise taxes in the name of fiscal responsibility and his party hated him for it), and Bush W. as well are blatant hypocrites. |
Well for one, this has been building up, the recent onslaught of bailouts has prompted this movement. To say that they only care because a demecrat is in office is inherently wrong since there were many demacrats at these tea parties. If you could look past your own idealistic partisonship you might actually begin to see that.
