@Sakura Please understand the demographics involved a bit better before you post.

There are certainly many RICH conservatives who support cutting other programs to pay for this war. But then they have quite a bit more money than the average person don't they? I don't suppose John McCain would be financially destroyed if he didn't get his social security check. Michael Bloomberg likewise will really not feel the pinch if his benefits get cut.

But those "hardworking, blue-collar, republican leaning people in states like W. Va. and Kentucky..not so much. They'll kick, scream and holler if you cut "their" social programs.

Go ahead..all you brave Republicans stand up and tell them you're slicing medicare, medicaid, and social security to balance the budget and pay for the war..I dare you. And those are the BIG 3 that account for about 40%+ of the ENTIRE budget.

But many OBAMA supporters are upper middle class to lower upper class and beyond in terms of income. Those people that you've all been so busy calling "rich elitists" ARE the ones who will pay for all of this under Obama's plan.

Yep, Will Smith, Scarlet Johanson, Stephen Colbert, John Stewart, Warren Buffett, Theresa Heinz Kerry, Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will all see THEIR TAXES raised under his plan.

So before you go calling people hypocrits ( I understand, it's a knee-jerk Republican thing) perhaps you should actually look at a few FACTS and actually stop and THINK about them.
