Let's start with the title. What the hell is wrong with liberals riding in limos? I am really sick and disgusted with this idea that because you're liberal you have to live like a poor person and go third class all the way. A lot of these people yammering about "limousine liberals" and how they're so elitist are being paid tens of thousands of dollars for their blather and they got their via ****ing private jet.

And people like Romney are now RICH CONSERVATIVES...No scratch that, Romney has always been rich. But how about those now rich conservatives who grew up poor and that we're all supposed to admire because they "pulled themselves up by their own boot straps"? Why the hell should we admire them and yet have contempt for liberals who were born poor but pulled themselves up by their own boot straps?

The more cons yap the more they show their hypocrisy

I guess because it is not considered an oddity.

But why would 'limousine conservatives' be considered 'more in touch' with 'the people' than 'limousine liberals'?
Damn good point.

Anyone who uses the phrase "liberal" in a thread title is not "fair and balanced."

Are you going to start a thread for "Limousine Republicans" tomorrow? After all, you claim this has nothing to do with partisan bias, and it's certainly not as if this forum is anything more than a right-wing echo chamber...

Or the number of times liberals are told they're Obamabots because they think it's dumb to blame Obama for lost socks in the drawer, or whatever the stupid meme of the day is.

Seriously dude? You LIVE for making stupid, sweeping generalizations. You just created about a bajillion threads today alone doing it.

[shakes head hard … Trying to make sense … but…. no ……. use………...]
Exactly.

When a middle of the road person (such as myself) points out that Obama didn't create the Recession, the DHS, the Patriot Act, the war in Iraqi, the loss of thousands of jobs, etc... nor did he eat your homework or steal your socks, I get accused of being a "liberal who loves Obama."

But when some right-wing sock puppet starts several threads a day bashing "liberals" and pretending that "his team" is somehow superior based on zero evidence whatsoever, we're supposed to pretend that he's not really partisan or a right-winger. The hypocrisy is astounding and almost laughable... well, it would be laughable if only for the fact that these partisan hacks are allowed to vote, sadly.

He has everything in common with the working man. After all, the Romneys know what it's like being poor....they were almost forced to sell off their stock options in college.
Obama has nothing in common with black Americans. So your point about Romney is?

Most people outgrow Liberalism by the time they are 25, give or take, because by then you have had your first run-in with government. However, due to decades of Liberalism, many people delay their mental growth, and remain Liberal far past the typical expiration date, and their thinking is psychotic.

You can't even define what a "liberal" is, other than made up crap - "they love the guberment" - and partisan nonsense - "A liberal is somebody who refuses to blame Obama for everything and agree with me / the Tea Party on all ideals."

Since you can't even DEFINE "liberal" correctly, aside from using it as a half-baked slur, you're in no position to pretend to understand how it relates to people's interaction with politics and government.
