Sorry...the world isn't black and white. No. These people are not going to vote for Obama. Yes. They are liberals. Pre-Set has told us he is a conservative. That being so, he doesn't really like President Bush or for that matter, much of the Republican party. (Sorry Pre-set, correct me if I'm wrong.)
Pretty much right.
I feel something akin to sympathy for President Bush, really. That's not to say I'm completely behind him, though. I just think he's trying to do the best with what he's got. That said, I'm irritated at a bunch of things he's done/not done in his time. We still have illegals pouring over the border unchecked. And 1,000's of businesses employing them without consequence. We're still kissing Saudi ass for oil instead of developing a Manhattan Project-like program for new fuels we can create here. That it's easier for Enron to file bancruptcy and vanish than it would be for me. That GM is using NAFTA to build cars in Mexico and firing autoworkers in Michigan.
However, that being said, I'll give the man his due, also. We haven't had another attack since 9/11 despite all the Al Queda threats to do so again. And since protecting the country is Job #1 for the President, that counts for a lot, and wipes out a lot of negatives.
So in my book, he's breaking even.... just.
I wish, really wish, he could've been more like the guy I saw standing up on that firetruck ladder on Sept. 14, 2001, speaking to us through a megaphone. That guy was freakin' Winston Churchill. I don't know where that guy went.....
I'm not a "D", and don't really identify with party-line "R's" either. I consider myself "L", and I'm registered as an "I". Is that enough alphabet soup for now?
I heard something once that pretty much sums me up.
"A Republican is a Democrat who's been robbed. A Democrat is a Republican who's been arrested. A Libertarian is someone who got arrested by the cops he called to report being robbed".
And that's about it. I can't stand Dems because they can't stop trying to get their hands on my wallet and into my gun safe. I can't stand Repubs because they're too preoccupied with what's going on in my bedroom and with helping companies that employ Americans figure out new ways to f*ck their employees.
I don't think I'm alone in these sentiments, either, but for some reason or another, it doesn't seem to matter to these parties. You pick your poison if you wanna belong. Well, the Hell with that, I'm not picking sh!t....
