I'm sorry, Drew, but is this a joke? I mean, you toadies did nothing but back the Bush Administration on just about every issue, yet here you are today claiming that you don't trust government? Please.

It would be amusing if just once you start thinking before you started typing. It might change your entire outlook. For example, what's the civics are you talking about in terms of backing Bush? Are they buy chance issues like lowering taxes? Reducing government intrusion? I ask because if so that would be completely consistent with not trusting government. I had been quite vocal about backing GWB on a large number of items. So of a lot of others in here. But I for one, was also quite vocal in those areas where he leaned too far to the left, increasing the size of government. What all this comes down to is, you're just ticked about Iraq.

Any wonder some of us don't trust government.

I'm sorry, Drew, but is this a joke? I mean, you toadies did nothing but back the Bush Administration on just about every issue, yet here you are today claiming that you don't trust government? Please. Had you been so concerned about Area 51 and black helicopters for the last 8 years, you wouldn't have been so deep in the hole for your guy and would have been more reasonable and reasoned in your daily analysis at OTB. So spare us the sudden feigned cynicism about how government is just so untrustworthy. Boy, I tell ya. There's plenty of hypocrisy to go around, but there's no hypocrisy like rightwing nutty hypocrisy.

Any wonder some of us don't trust government.

Doesn't anyone in official Washington take care of their own children, clean their own house or drive their own car? And yet, they are not out of touch with "average" Americans.

Frnakly, charges of hypocrisy have lost their sting. No one seems to care.

I used to think I was wise, and had some experience.

I wondered, "why are Democrats so tax increase friendly?"

Well, Drew, you dope........they figured it out, you just don't pay them!!

So politicians (especially those wealthy enough to afford household help) like to raise taxes, they just don't like to PAY them? Interesting.

What is the Obama administration going to do when the Republicans actually get organized? This isn't low-hanging fruit, it is falling off the tree and hitting people in the head.

On the subject of domestic help, that's not a problem I've ever had myself but my friends and family who have tell me that government at various different levels makes it extremely difficult to do the right thing. Sometimes people just give up in frustration.

I'm more interested in the larger conversation. What kind of society do we want to have? Is being casual about paying taxes okay? Okay just for the well-to-do? Are things only wrong when you get caught?

And how do we make our laws conform to what we want our society to be?
