Quoting her exact statement and providing the transcript is "cherry picking?" Seriously?

If I've misunderstood what you're saying, my apologies, but I really don't have a "side" in this. I'm voting as an independent this cycle, and I'm more interested in the truth than trying to push some dumb agenda.

She's proud of her country. She's already more accomplished than the other one.

You can just admit that you have no idea how much tax you are paying to support single women with children. Even though it is obvious that you have no clue, what percentage of each tax dollar do you think is used for that purpose?

No not you. I was referring to all of the other threads where the OP cherry picks a quote and then starts reigning faux anger down from their soapbox.

What usually happens next as I am sure you are aware is that the folks on the side of the OP will start to disappear. A few will remain behind and still continue the screaming all while ignoring your post. They will then resort to childish antics (going back to calling people jealous in this one I will suppose) or somehow bring race or religion into it.

After that comes deflection. Most likely Obama's tax rate or the fact that the administration uses women as puppets against the GOP. That this was staged by Obama the future seeing puppet master but real Americans will see through it.

A little more race talk, some more about the war on women. Two or three posters will continuously go back and forth with each other all by themselves and then the thread will be closed. Only to be rehashed by some n00b who doesn't know how to search and see if a thread is already started.

After that we can all go back to making up facts about the Zimmerman case, posting birth certificate garbage from right wing blogs, posting hidden off shore account garbage about Mittens and how evil money is from a left leaning blog and then more garbage about religion.

What did I miss?

Birfers, the tin foil hat wearing crowd, and the weekly "I hate Michelle" thread.
Also, refer to the post above this one.

She was not discussing economics, she was relaying what she was told by the other ladies she has talked to.

Huge difference....
