What my brother-in-law posted on facebook!

He and his wife are family. I hate his politics and his warped view of reality. They care about their family, but they don't want others to have what they have "because we had to work for it." They don't care that other people have had to work twice as hard for the same amount. This is hard to deal with.

1. i wonder how much of their 401k or stock value they lost in 2008.

people seem to have a very short memory.

2. Wow, he really thinks that? Don't bother talking to him about it.

[hatrack]

4. I wouldn't bother discussing weather or pro sports with someone that . . . .

. . . ideologically ignorant.

3. Gee, I thought that was ironic.

And if he meant it, then it's doubly ironic.

5. I ignore this kind of stuff

But when I get the link to Mitt's FB page from my RW friends, I make sure to leave a comment there. Noticed that a LOT of the comments on his page are from our side!

6. Indifference is what you should show them

You can't help it if they choose to be willfully ignorant.

7. That is just plain stupid

Why was it better? White President?

8. Has he ever heard the term "deflationary death spiral" before?

Tell him and his facebook friends to look it up.

9. ????

I don't even know what this stupid crap means...

10. My response would be ... "clearly you don't have clue, or a 401k".

The DOW was about 10,000 when Bush enters office, 7500 when he left. Obama ... DOW is 7500 when he enters, now at about 13,000.

Unemployment was about 5% when Bush entered, 7.7% the month he left. UE was 8.4% in Obama's first full month in office, now its 8.3%.

GDP, was at about -9% when Bush left. Now at about +2% under Obama.

Iraq war (Bush's distraction) is over. OBL is Dead. US auto industry is alive.

Bush was a clown ... and Romney is toast.

11. What's amazing is that both he and his wife had/have 401-Ks

He has had LOTS of help from his military retirement and insurance, but he doesn't think anyone else should have any sort of govt. assistance. He is so entrenched in the (white, Southern, male) GOP "dream" that he can't even think straight

12. Understand completely, facts and figures don't move those folks.
