I speak of politicians, you speak of voters.

The most egregious detail of Walker passing his budget in Wisconsin was not the details of the budget itself, it was the complete stonewalling he gave to unions when they attempted to negotiate with him. Never mind the embarrassing time Walker dropped everything and had a long and fawnng phonecall with someone impersonating donor David Koch at the same time he said he was too busy to debate with unions. How the hell else can you deal with an elected official who takes such a stance but to attempt a recall? This is not properly functioning democracy.

Ryan's love for Rand leads me to believe that he will lump all opposition into the "looters" category much as Walker did.

You would have to be willfully obtuse to say that Barack Obama has been similarly averse to debate and compromise. The reason he has enraged so much of his own base is because of his many, many concessions in the name of "bipartisanship," such as never even introducing Single-Payer healthcare as an option, and finally passing a health care bill with the stamp of the Heritage Foundation on it. (Also known as "Romneycare")

As for me personally, you would have a difficult time "convincing" me that Obama and the Democrats suck, because nobody hates the Democrats more than a true liberal. However, fortunately for Obama, the "Citizen's United" decision has cemented his position in this election as the lesser of two evils.

Tell you what, if you can provide a clear explaination of why Austerity/Trickledown/Hoovernomics is going to work THIS TIME, and I get all huffy and refuse to acknowledge to validity of your arguments, you'll have the honor of making me look like an idiot, something typo-nitpicking Mysterios have been trying to do for years. Go for it, champ!
