What I can’t stand about debating politics is the blatant hypocrisy of posters. The division has grown so great due to both sides being disenfranchised by the people they elected, but not enough people want to admit that, so instead we get thread after thread of who can insult who better.
Why talk about what a single person thinks of Mitt that does not even live in the US? Do you honestly think it’s hard to find people that hate Obama that live in different courtiers? That’s the hypocrisy about this particular thread.
The hypocrisy is evident in most threads and debate nowadays. You can’t talk about cutting spending to a liberal person without them pointing out Bush and the military spending he did, they point out how horrible it all was but Obama does the same thing. You can’t talk about cutting spending with a conservative without them telling you about Obamacare, welfare and stimulus spending yet Bush did all of these very same things (Medicare part D)…
Both sides obviously want cuts, yet people fall over their own hypocrisy. Both sides want transparency, both sides want a balanced budget but there is no ability to find common ground and thus these people that angrily fight back and forth repeatedly vote for politicians that do the exact opposite as they claim they want.
Mitt won’t cut spending, in fact his budget grows it from where Obama has it at. Obama won’t cut the military and war spending, in fact he grew it from where Bush had it at.
It’s funny to me that on any boards you visit people talk about the stupid voter base yet these same people have proven to be the stupidest in the land.
Today we have war pushing, deficit spending, big Government Obama running against war pushing, deficit spending, big Government Romney… I promise you that no matter who wins not a single ******* person on these boards will get ANYTHING that they wants. Sure you might get some bullshit version of what you want, you know a version you ******* hate, like Obamacare, or the Iraq war… But it was never what you really wanted, not even close.
If both sides simply held their candidate accountable rather than defending R’s vs D’s for the sake of defending and fighting, we would all have a lot to agree on. Until then, please, keep bitching back and forth about crap that won’t even be remembered sometime early next week.
That's ******* groundbreaking, I tell ya.
