Obama Simply Doesn't "Cave," The Left Does

[NJMaverick]

Milt goes into great detail explaining what is really going on with the debt issue and shows just how far off base the Professional Left is. I can't offer up a paragraph or two that would fully do the complex (the bane of the far left/professional left) discussion. Still, at the end he provides some good general advice to the PF

Quote:Here’s the key to both political success, and not looking like a political novice basket case, is to evaluate RESULTS. Some people spend so much time jerking their knees at every maneuver that’s made, they never take the time to look at the results. Keep in mind; most lefty blogs are in it to make a ton of money, and they need eyes. So they tell you whatever will keep you coming back. Talk show hosts and pundits on radio and television are trying to piss you off, because that’s how they get people to return every day, as well. And forget headlines. If you’re reading headlines and not articles, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Someone last week told me that Obama was planning to raise the retirement age to 67, probably because she read it somewhere. Of course, the retirement age is already 67 for everyone born 1960 or later, so that wouldn’t be much of a “cut.”

Be discerning, be curious, be skeptical. And above all else, stop going crazy over every little thing you hear about as you devour as much “news” as you can possibly find, and train yourself to look at the bigger picture. Look at results, not methods. Look at overall strategy, and realize that not everything a politician does is as it seems.

And always remember; you get the government you elect. If you don’t want the government to cut Medicare and Social Security, stop helping to elect people whose mission it is to cut Social Security and Medicare. You don’t get to trash Democrats throughout 2009-2010, which is how the teabaggers got elected, and then act shocked when they actually do what they said they would do.

House Democrats passed 375 bills that the Republicans in the Senate blocked. Many of those would have made a tremendous difference. The solution to the problem was fewer Republicans. Instead, we got more, and we have a far left meme that dovetails nicely with the right wing meme, which causes people to stay away from the polls in droves. We have to get smarter, politically speaking, and screaming at the top of your lungs that President Obama wants to cut Social Security, when he clearly is not serves no purpose, except to cement the right wing’s hold on the government.

Stop it and grow the fuck up.

The PL reminds me of "Groundhog Day". Same old, same old.

The PL are doing exactly what they want to do, take down PBO. And if the country goes too, tough. They are willing to use the American people as pawns in their game of destruction. I don't think for one minute that they don't read and know what is going on with SS and Medicare.....they choose to spin it into the fear factor to make PBO look like the ax cutter in the room. They know what they are doing and are brazenly lying to the public for their selfish gains.

These people are the teabaggers of the left. Trying to take over to push their personal issues, to destroy a President and a country. They're not stupid, they're knowingly undermining our country. Isn't that called treason?
