WWe started with me agreeing with the idea that it's bipartisan, then attacked for "deflecting" to Bush. I'm not deflecting. It backs up the idea of what is now bipartisan support. Just because somebody says the name "Bush" doesn't mean they're deflecting.[/quote[]
1) where did I claim you were deflecting? I said you were insane for suggesting that support was always bipartisan, because opposition to such programs under Bush defined liberalism in this country for many years
2) My point, again, was that the issue only became bipartisan when a democrat entered the white house.
If Romney takes office, the policy will continue and people on the right will say "Well, it happened under Obama too." Will that be a deflection?
again, where is the right currently taking issue with it? For the two situations to be analogies the right would have to largely reject the policy under Obama, and only start supporting it when he left office
