I don’t get your point. Yes, millions of Americans are getting freebies and benefits of all kinds, and one “sacrifice” that’s needed is to give them up in order to save the fiscal integrity of our country.

Wow, I guess I didn't realize we have fallen so far as to say that giving up freebies, unconstitutional theft from productive citizens is somehow "sacrifice". Romney, if we was a Conservative would have pointed that out, yes?

I can’t think of another sacrifice government is entitled to, other than military service and paying taxes.

Last I checked, Government is Constitutionally mandated to secure and protect this Country, yes?

If you don’t like to think of cutbacks as a sacrifice, that’s fine but it’s common for conservatives to speak in those terms.

NO, I do not think as unconstitutional cutbacks as sacrifice, I view them as unconstitutional in the firs place ans should not exist.

How can you define something that should not exist in the first place as a cutback?

Sounds like the logic of cutting growth is the same as defunding, typical lib speak to me.

OK, well I will just bet that Santorum and Gingrich both talk in terms of “sacrifice” when it comes to reducing government spending. For one thing a lot of spending that needs to be cut is in terms of social security and other programs which a lot of people were depending on. So cutting those back is referred to as “sacrifice”. I agree denying funding for contraceptives is not much of a sacrifice.

I also will bet the other candidates, with the possible exception of Ron Paul, have not argued that all these government programs are “unconstitutional”. But if you want to argue that calling for sacrifice by cutting government spending is lib talk, that’s fine. I think it’s nit picking when in this case Romney told the woman if she wants freebies, to vote for Obama. I think that was pretty clear.
