Overheard Debate

Today I overheard an interesting discussion between a conservative and a liberal. It really seems to capture the give and take that is dominating today's heated political debates. it went something like this:

Conservative: "The other day, Obama said I didn't build my business. The gall of that guy! Who the hell does he think built it? It sure as hell wasn't him. First, he blames businesses for our economic woes and then threatens to raises our taxes. He cooks up a big health care plan that we will have to pay for one way or another and criticizes us for not hiring in the face of that massive tax hike. And it IS a tax, the Supreme Court confirmed that. The only way he could get his health care "reform" was to have it deemed a tax, and now he's got to live with that. Obama thinks he can win as long as he just keeps reminding everybody just how rich Romney is. You know, the number of houses he owns, an elevator for his cars. Who cares? That doesn't make him a bad guy! He helped a hell of a lot of businesses when he was at Bain Capital, that should be a source of pride, not derision."

Liberal: "Conservatives are bigots."
