Please stop parroting the "you got a tax cut" nonsense. Everybody knows it's BS. The only people that don't understand that it's a weak, veiled attempt to garner political support are the complete goner cheerleader types. People that are simply not able to come up with a single thought on their own.
Quit smoking.....

Obama is a straight-up liar. You're worthy of equal contempt for cheerleading and knowingly repeating his lies.

That isn't raising anyone's taxes, no one is forced.

Vice President Spiro Agnew launched the first verbal attack against the demonstrators. Agnew spoke of "nattering nabobs of negativism" and "pusillanimous pussyfooters." The leaders of the Vietnam Mobilization were described as "hard-core dissidents and professional anarchists;" others were called "ideological eunuchs" and "vultures" who "prey upon the good intensions of gullible men."

And much more.

So you think highly of Nixon and Agnew?

Here's something from the RW hero, Reagan:

President Reagan

"He ridiculed campus radicals, saying one demonstrator "had a haircut like Tarzan, walked like Jane and smelled like Cheetah." "

No, just showing that the statement is untrue. Frankly, I think Bush did the right thing by saying the protesters have the right to free speech.
