Man, and here I am, just an almost-true-scotsman.
- msandford 13y agoCould you help me out here? I'm not trying to be purposefully dense but I can't really figure out what you're trying to say. I understand the "almost true scotsman" as a reference to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman but I'm not really sure how it's applicable. > You think that Bush's and Obama's massive expansions of government weren't all about amassing and maintaining political power? Those guys both believe that more government power/money solves all woes. This is clearly bipartisan. He's attacking both democrats and republicans and suggesting that on many issues there's little difference. I don't believe it's possible to argue that it's partisan. It attacks both sides. It might be tribal, but on an axis orthogonal to the traditional left/right political spectrum.
