Our fellow FReepers would be far more effective if they learned the truth and used it to teach rather than attack. Chances are that the woman in the video could have gotten the same phone under Clinton and again under Bush. She isn’t getting anything special under Obama that she couldn’t have gotten before and she’ll still be able to get it if Romney is elected.
Its rooted in a longstanding federal program that’s grown unchecked for decades.
I totally agree. I don't know if it's just that I'm ambivalent this election so I notice it more, or that other freepers are also ambivalent so only the extremists are posting. But it seems to me that the number of knee jerk responses, quoting opponents out of context, and blatant partisanship regardless of facts is way up these days.
