[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked on the Hill for a decade, so as a rule, I don't talk politics with people outside of DC.  I find most don't get the process, which is how I come at it.   So for example when someone suggests Paul Ryan wants to push grandma off the cliff, I'm reminded of the United States Senate and how a bill becomes a law. Something my opposites don't often take into account.

When I see that it's unavoidable, I try to look for common ground, which can be ellusive when someone's so wedded to their positions, and secretely thinks I'm racist because I'm not voting for the incumbant.  [/quote]

Sure, it takes Congress to pass a law changing Medicare, but I notice you don't argue with the fact that Paul Ryan *wants* to push grandma off the cliff. [/quote]

Thanks Captain Obvious, did I need to be more in depth with how the back and forth of how my conversation's occur, really?

Seriously, does your kind think that Republicans don't have wives, mothers and daughters?  Or do you think we put them into fiscal buckets to protect only them, at the expense of others.  I honestly can't relate to your rational.[/quote]

Everyone in history had wives and daughters.  That hasn't historically proven to be much of a guarantee of protection.  Sorry, but that sounds like the "I know plenty of black people" defense.[/quote]

OK, let me revise why I don't like to debate those of the opposite party/belief.  Because they love to use the tactic of demanding that I disprove negatives.  "How do you know Romney won't do that!"  Pointless nit-picking if you ask me.[/quote]

You seem to have missed something. No one believes that Paul Ryan will literally throw grandmothers off of cliffs. They believe his Medicare plan will dump future healthcare cost increases onto the elderly to pay themselves. This isn't a hypothetical/ prove a negative. Hîs plan is out there and we are free to debate its economic implications. [/quote]
