Why do dems hate facts?

while I'm sure it's true that a few people are better off with Obama, most people aren't. Why do Dems get so upset when their shown facts that the national deficit is up, unemployment is up, public assistance is up, home foreclosures are up, etc. Why do they insist this is a good thing; do they know something that I don't?

    They only hate the "facts" that conservatives make up. Like yours for example.

    Because they enjoy being broke.

    @ Flower. Are you mentally challenged or what is your excuse for being so damn stupid? Unemployment rate is down from 2010 ( 9.7%) to 2012 (8.2%) 1.5% but in 2008 the unemployment rate was at 5%. From 2008 to 2010 unemployment rate went from 5% to 9.7%. So you can easily see that from 2008 to 2012 unemployment rate is still up 3.2% From what you say about the recession. Out of the last 5 years 2008 was on average our best of the 5. If you are correct and the reccesion ended in 2008 why did it continually get worse untill 2010? If this is the case then Obama made everything worse from 2008 through 2010 and has not even recovered from it yet. Most things are still worse off now than when he began. If you don't believe me look at the source.

    The only reason I can figure that most democrats can't see or understand the facts is because they just haven't heard the POP!!! yet. The POP!!! of their head coming out of their ***, or Obamas.

    What do you mean by better off? The stock market has more than doubled so even if your portfolio lost value in the recession it probably has regained most of its value. You are better off than most people in Egypt who are in poverty.

    4.5 million jobs added in two years. Unemployment down from 10.2% to 8.1%.

    The need for public assistance especially for working families means they dont earn enough to cover daily costs of living like food, shelter, insurance. We are recovering from a recession that happened 2007-2008. The depth of the financial problems is beyond anything we have had.

    Pres Obama has had 3 home loan modification programs. It is up to the banks which are privately held to decide to help their mortgage-holders. Unlike Romney Rat, who said let the homes foreclose faster so the banks can flip them and make a profit sooner.

    Well, there are times when you respect the office and not the person. so far, he has not really shown me he REALLY cares about the working man. He seems to care about doing good things that have little or no impact for the common man.

    ..........But he did get a Nobel Prize.....Can't seem to recall him doing anything for it though.......

    LOL, this reminds me of the old adage:

    How do you Irritate a Republican? TELL a LIE!!!

    How do you Irritate a Democrat? TELL the TRUTH!

    Thanks for the Question. It is because Conservatives are rational in their thought processes. Liberals are irrational. Conservatives use Logic when Liberals use Emotion.

    That is why I think Democrats hate facts. If a Fact does not back up their Ideals, they will not change their Ideals to fit the Fact, they denigrate the person Offering the Fact, or the completely avoid or ignore it.

    I'm not upset. Glad to see the government spending money on Americans as the corporate fat cats continue their decades long quest to put the American worker out of business.
