Why are you so quick to dismiss something reported by the Associated Press as false? You seem to be very quick to dismiss negative things done by Hillary. "People who despise the Clintons are like people who despise George Bush, in that they don’t wait around for a reason to despite them and jump on them. They just do it and there doesn’t really need to be a reason why." I agree with you on that. However, in this case, there is clear hypocrisy going on. Just because you don't like the source of the information (which, by the way, I didn't know the Associated Press was a bad news source) it doesn't make it less true. “Hillary, on the other hand, supposedly told this to an Iowa voter in private, which was supposedly “overheard” by a reporter, and said she “might consider it.” Unless you have another example of her openly advocating this plan, I’m not sure you can compare her comment to Obama’s well-thought-out and openly discussed plan.”

At one point, he was advocating that everyone making over $92,000 should have a large increase in social security taxes, then it was $97,000, now it's up to over $200,000. I haven't seen the news story or the flier, but Obama's plan is outlined on his website and has been outlined in interviews, so it's hard to deny that that it is his plan to increase social security taxes, probably on peolple making over $97,000. Hillary, on the other hand, supposedly told this to an Iowa voter in private, which was supposedly "overheard" by a reporter, and said she "might consider it." Unless you have another example of her openly advocating this plan, I'm not sure you can compare her comment to Obama's well-thought-out and openly discussed plan. I think we can say that Obama "advocated" for it and Hillary did not.
