Anybody who has payed attention knows that every Democratic attempt to improve the economy have been blocked. Because the Republicans main goal is to keep the economy bad and blame in on Democrats/Obama in 2012.

Your "analysis" will all ways be flawed and lack credibility as long as it is out of touch with reality.

"And then he tried to slash Social Security. Credibility destroyed. "

This is great example Manny Goldstein Spin and Bullshit System®. Contextless, and pretends that talk about reducing overhead is = "SLASHING" of benefits.

And then you act as Ryan Plan to actually destroy Social Security and Medicare does not exist. And has overwhelming support from Congressional Republicans and the Republicans running for President.

I am sure you are going to come up with another speculation as fact rant, filled with hyperbolic language.

This is the bubble you've constructed for yourself. Oversimplified bumper-sticker sloganeering, contextless, hyperbolic, doctrinaire.

I accept that about you. I will assure you this is not a "personal attack" because I really like you as a person. I enjoy your sense of humor etc etc. I do not think you are a "BAD PERSON", you seem like a real decent guy.

This has only to do with your rhetorical tactics on DU.

IMHO, your posts and original threads are really damaging the reputation of DU'ers who have legitimate reasoned criticisms re Obama's policies.

They are suffering from guilt-by-association.

There are about 10 Very Loud and Very Prolific DU posters who use similar deceptive rhetorical strategies as you who also live in a world where there are no Republicans. (but sadly without any sense of humor whatsoever.)

I hope at some point that posters with reasoned criticisms with Obama's policies realize that and start pushing back on your rhetorical tactics as well.
