Yes, I believe you would.

Let Mommy and Daddy Guv'ment take care of us all, right?

Isn't that the Liberal Mantra?

That's ok.

You and Roysoldboy go on and "talk 'bout stuff..."

Ask him "how his Medicare Insurance is workin' out?"... o.k. ?

And, while you're at it... why don't you call up some of those hate groups and "you just tell them" that they shouldn't use the Confederate flag anymore?

Talk about hypocrites.

WC out

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you're talking about.

Could you clarify?

What he is saying is that there are more than a couple of "conservatives" that whine to high heaven about socialisim while at the same time enjoying the fruits of such socialist programs such as Medicare and SS. The hypocracy is right there, all one has to do is look and see.

Because they accept what they forced to pay into does not prove hypocrisy.

It also does not remove the credibility of their statements.

What he promised to have it televised. Like his other promies they were jsut speech to gain votes. How his administrtion is sayig he will consult with republcians but they also say they proposal will be on line before they even meet with republicans. The deabte needs to be in congress for all to see and in televised congressal committees. Thsoe that watch the comitte meeeting saw limited amendments and all turned down by stright democratic majority.Everythign wqas pprearranged as the sneator from Oragn (D) said he knew hwen introducing hs amnedment that it was not goig to be alowed even to come to a voteand he had to withdraw it to keep others from going on record as opposing it,It would ahve allowed those with porivate insurnace in company policy to take their com-anies moeny to buy in the pool if they could get it cheaper. You guess it the union were against this;so it was not allowed a vote. Shell games

Sure it does because they want to pick and chose which socialistic programs they want to call socialistic and which they just ignore as being such. FYI, just because we pay into a program does not mean the program is not socialistic. Oh, we all pay but let me also add that after a certain point people have used up what they paid in but yet they still draw it, so that boat don't float. One cannot cry Socalist! about some socialistic programs while enjoying the benefits of other programs, THAT is the definition of a Hypocrite.

The people accepting SS and Medicare were forced into paying into it regardless of their opinions about whether they agreed with the legislation.

Their political ideology should not be discounted for this.

Just because they are accepting it does not mean they are FOR it.

It also should be mentioned that nobody's opinions should be discounted merely because you choose to oversimplify issues and "lump" things together in to one category.

If you have an argument with a Conservative's stance on issues, then bring up the issues.

If you are simply against them because you hate them, then call it what is. "Blind Prejudice".
