It is you who must observe and not infer....my "furious" two line post was really tongue in check to show all politicans make mistakes, and all I assumed was that you voted for Obama, based on the content of your posts. And if you respond honestly, I'll bet I'm correct in my assumption.

And just to be fair, I'll throw this out, I voted for McCain in 2008.

You've mentioned me being "liberal left" in other posts before. Also, you can tell by the content of my posts? You mean like these?

So what part of that content has you thinking that I'm a Obama supporter? Is it the other posts where I rail on the GOP? So you totally ignore the posts slamming the other side and focus on my slamming the GOP. Turning the blind eye just for sake of waving your elephant/donkey flag around to go along with the crowd isn't my thing.

There is nothing wrong with supporting and voting for Obama. Don't mind SS33 for he is a dedicated GOP minion and a bashful Obama hater. Given the choice between voting for Obama and sacrificing his first child he would choose the latter.

Lord Obama will rise to lead us once more.

Par for the course with you, a quote/link here, a quote/link there that doesn't address the issue or prove/refute anything, then some name-calling or letting everyone know how much wiser you are than anyone with an opposing view.

But that being said, what I infer from your posts is that you believe Obama's positions aren't left enough. AND....you still didn't answer the question. Take a cue from saden, catch a deep breath, and admit you voted for Obama. It's OK.

And of course my friend saden is as eloquent as always. What he fails to mention is, politcally, he and I essentially are opposite sides of the same coin (in a football sense, we're normally in agreement). A while back there was a thread where you answered political questions and were graphed in one of four quadrants (don't have time to go back to find the thread). He and I were in the exact same spot on opposite sides of the graph.

And again for clarification, I'm an un-bashful Obama policy hater.

Excuse me? How or where have I inferred that I'm wiser than everybody else?

As opposed to linking "facts" that aren't facts nor support anything that a person is arguing?

"Turning the blind eye just for sake of waving your elephant/donkey flag around to go along with the crowd isn't my thing."

"Formidable ticket? ...lol Only if dumbasses are voting."

"It's a shame you guys can make this much noise over something that counts. Politics. We might would actually get something accomplished."

"Stop with this stupid Repubs vs Libs shit. It's ignorant and you are in fact a big reason why the US is failing if you keep supporting these idiots."

"I hold no affiliation to a party unlike the rest of the moronic Americans out there."

"If you don't think our foreign policy isn't the reason we are hated, then you seriously don't need to be voting."

I'll close with a quote from President Lincoln, ""Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

You and JoeRedskins are right. I guess there is some of that tone in my posts and I apologize. It's hard when you see people blinded by stuff that corporate media spews(all types) and they keep doing the same things and voting the same way over and over and over again hoping for different results. I think the two party system is a sham at this point. Neither one of the group is going to fix our country.

No fair though, that comment about Bachman was true though. Come on man, you have to question anybody supporting either her or Palin. My parents are Republicans and they even agree....lol

I would respectfully disagree. Regardless of your opinions as to either of them, to suggest, strictly from a policy stand point, that Obama and Bush are interchangeable is just plain obtuse.

If I said they were interchangeable, it was in jest. I think Obama's policies so far have pretty much in line with the policies that Bush rode out on.

I've not inferred his policies aren't left enough. I just said I find it ironic that Republicans are bashing Obama, when his policies are nearly identical to that of Bush.

Obama hasn't come through on any of his main campaign promises, and I'll never vote for him based off of his performance. I certainly would never vote for those idiots from the GOP either. Like I said, how people can still vote for the GOP with the state our economy is in proves that people will believe anything.

I am not going to hunt down all the posts, but lets just say a common thread through many of your "opinion" posts is that people with opinions/values different from yours just don't get "it" and are simply sheep for the slaughter.

Oh wait... I don't have to go hunting at all:

You, of course, are so much smarter, wiser and clevererer than everyone who votes for the GOP, or who sides with the owners, etc., etc.

Maybe I'm just missing your answer, but the bolded point sounds like you won't vote for him in 2012, since he had no prior Presidential performance in 2008 and you're using a future tense. You don't mention if you voted for Obama in 2008. Just wanting to clearly understand your response.

I, too, noticed his carefully crafted answer and avoidance.

Question: Why does me voting for him in 2008 have any relevance on anything in this discussion?


If I did vote for him, I wouldn't vote for him again based off of his performance now.

If I didn't vote for him, I wouldn't vote for him in the future based off his performance now.


I think it's obvious that he's doing a poor job with everything, even though he's getting much of the blame for the economy that wasn't his doing. He's not doing much to help it either with the additional wars.

What, he's delivered on a ton of campaign promises. What are you talking about?

Healthcare Reform
Financial Services Reform
DADT
Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)
Lilly Ledbetter Act (Fair pay act for women)
Umm...he said if had actionable intelligence to kill bin Laden, even if he was hiding in Pakistan, he'd do so without permission.
START treaty w/Russia. Reducing nukes by a third. Huge f*****in deal.

This is just off the top of my head.

A few have slipped through the cracks, but he'll get another bite at the apple.
