As for being disingenuous, as you're so enjoying the definition game "lacking in frankness, candor, or sincerity; falsely or hypocritically ingenuous; insincere."

And you're being disingenuous with your knee jerk use of "Blame Bush" as your get out of jail free card. See, the problem is that for years, the Left had its fair share of over the top rhetoric...but the Right then began to realize that if they just shouted "Bush Derangement Syndrome" whenever any truly substantive criticism was lodged, they could avoid having to actually face the issue, instead just calling their opponents lunatics. It worked. You guys shout louder and more rudely, making that tactic work well.

Now, instead of facing the obvious issues -- like your sudden, dramatic interest in the nation's finances, you guys take any criticism of THAT as "Blame Bush," even when nobody is in fact, blaming Bush, but pointing out that your sudden interest in issues that were of no concern to you for nearly a decade is in fact, disingenuous. That way, you don't have to actually answer any of the criticism, because after all, it's just those same old BDS guys who can't let it go, right?!

It's a solid tactic, to be sure, and has actually worked for years and years now, casting all opposition as deranged Bush-haters. However, it doesn't make it intellectually honest. It doesn't make it genuine, and it doesn't change the fact that no matter how often you say it, your actions completely belie this faux impartiality that you so adamantly try to portray, with an entirely predictable, and laughable lack of success.

It's really inconsequential in the big picture to me, since I don't take you seriously at all on matters like this because you want to pretend to be one way, but are quite easy to count on to always act another.

You and anyone else can refuse to take me seriously because I'm a crazy Lefty, but at least that's the reason to not take me seriously, because you think my ideas would ruin the country -- not waffling about what matters to me depending on who's doing the talking like you've become so good at doing. You can think I'm crazy and not know what I'm talking about, but at least I'm consistent in my beliefs and posts and actions regarding those beliefs -- something you don't have the luxury of saying with a straight face.






OOPS!

Ohhh you got me with a tongue twister!

I would have to say your blather was well thought out at the very least.

However, you have taken liberties in that you have zero idea of what I have said about Bush's policies in the past here, in other forums or by actually talking to others. But the big issue that you seem to miss is that we aren't discussing Bush's policies anymore. If you or one of your compadres wants to discuss them simply bring them up. I would be glad to offer my input. The fact is that while i wasn't enamored with some of Bush's decisions, Obama has far exceeded what Bush did, especially in terms of wasteful govt spending in the so called stimlus package.

Your indictment(?) of the Blame Bush quote is laughable as it is still totally relevant because of the use of it by Obama. He is still blaming Bush at every opportunity.

And I hate to tell you this but us small business owners who pay taxes, employ people and basically carry this country have been paying attention to the nations finances and how it effects us for quite some time.

I think that it is hard to keep a straight face in saying that I am anything but consistent in my posts or views. You may not like those views but you are really stretching it to say that I am either hypocritical or disingenous in my political posts on Derbytrail. Your logic in trying to make that case is laughable.
