No one thinks in those terms. I am as liberal as they come, and I don't want "the government" taking care of me from cradle to grave. I go to work every day, pay my bills, and pay my taxes just like millions of other liberals. Do you think all of those senior citizens are mooching off the government with their Social Security and Medicare? How about the mentally disabled? How about kids on Medicaid? To me, one of the defining characteristics of a "conservative" is complete lack of empathy. You can't imagine that you might someday need the services that you want to deny to other people.bettywhitenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-99647047339518082010-12-08T11:09:09.167-05:002010-12-08T11:09:09.167-05:00If he was talking about Henery....I suspect it wou...If he was talking about Henery....I suspect it would be Harpo...or maybe Zeppo.<br /><br />If he was talking about the more 'average' poster here, he is pretty close to the truth.

Groucho or Harpo?<br /><br />You'd draw a little more blood if you said "Most of you would be satisfied only with ... Howard Dean!"<br /><br />I don't blame you personally for the lameness of your attack. I blame the American educational system and (especially) American cable TV.
