Anybody remember when they were making these kinds of statements?

I especially liked Harry Reid's comments at around 3:50.

That's the beauty of politics, though. Hate it when it's being used against you, love it when you can use it.

 

Nobody's taking anyone to task about it, especially since the Republicans have been just as hypocritical (since they're the ones that brought it back into the modern legislative lexicon, and now they're the ones calling it tyrrany)

 

@Badgenome, i agree. The whole problem with claiming a standard of living right is the question of where it ends, is it an inherent right or is it just the have-nots being whiny about how the economic system screwed them over? I contest that it is a right, but the question of where it begins or ends is definitely a foggy one, and could lead to dangerous places, but most good ideas lead to dangerous places when taken too far (like the capitalism that enriches the world daily, but also led some people to believe that they could make money by lending money to people who clearly couldn't handle it, then securitizing that for some reason and spreading their stupidity all over the market)
