It's not a smokescreen though. That is the choice elected republicans are making. They just came out with another budget with cuts and vouchers that will hurt people while protecting tax loopholes. Your link didn't seem to actually link to a post of yours btw.
That's a dishonest assessment. Just more empty demagoguery of the Republicans, in an offensive designed to hide the deceit of Obama and the Democrats. Republicans just approved a $600 billion raise in taxes on "the rich", as part of a compromise, and the Democrats never came through with the promised cuts on their end, and are now covering that deception by accusing Republicans.
Republicans have made it clear that they definitely want to close loopholes as part of a larger package that includes budget spending cuts. But the Democrats are not honoring their half of the agreement.
Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.
EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
