You might want to consider the context of the statements that led to that debate. Since you clearly didn't read before judging, I'll give you the Coles Notes version.
Lib supporter: The Green Shaft is a tax cut. Nobody can screw that up!
Me: You mean like how the Liberals didn't screw up the GST cut in 1993?
Lib supporter: <excuses and rationalizations>
The argument wasn't that the Liberals are bad because they failed to axe the GST like they promised 15 years ago. The argument was that yes, the Liberals can even screw up a tax cut.
