Yep.

And that, "we earned it!" response is exactly the same answer I get when I point out their glaring hypocrisies, especially when they're in the middle of excoriating the PPACA amongst other Democratic policies and benefits (while being unable to point out a single Republican policy that has ever benefited the American people).

Then I end the discussion with, "You're nothing but a fraud."

That seems to really piss them off. They absolutely loathe the word "fraud" - almost as much as the word "liberal". The word "hypocrite"? Meh. Doesn't bother them. However, their sense of exaggerated piousness for themselves alone won't accept being labeled a "fraud". And that's exactly why I use it instead of hypocrite.

Welcome to DU, beachbum bob. And congrats on an excellent post!
