No lying; accept it already.
And the economy was doing quite well for most of Bush's two terms.

What were the "general lies?"

Are you forgetting the congress approved the war as we all, thought there were WMD and I still think there were. I just think Hussian was given enough warning to allow him to dispose of them.

Whatever you guys need to tell yourselves to make you believe that what you believe about Obama and Democrats isn't coming purely from a place of hate.

Still in Iraq and Afghanistan, with no plans on leaving. Sure we caught OBL, but our foreign policy remains the same, and that will breed more terrorist threats than anything. Debt is through the roof, more tax cuts for the uber rich, corporations still run the country. In fact, Democrats get far more money from Wall Street than Repukes, so nothing there. As long as people hold things like repeal of DADT as real accomplishment, then this country is doomed. Middle class continues to shrink.

I could go on for days... But the people are easily manipulated, and I doubt even Ron Paul can influence people to change our foreign policy now.

Oh, and I saw a video about Marines protecting poppy fields in Afghanistan. Somehow it is protecting the locals, even though most of the drugs come here and most of the money funds the Taliban. As long as the suits keep running things, we are doomed.

No hate; just want facts. Tell me again what the "general lies" were.

I don't hate Obama or Democrats. I disagree with them much of the time but that is not hate. You bringing hate into the subject means you are trying to divert attention away from the fact that you can't back up what you claim.

As usual... no substance, just attack those you don't agree with. Why am I not surprised?

Boy are you spinning again or still: My last response had to do with how I, personally felt about the WMD, not how I feel about Obama. The original question was who would challenge Obama...I love it when someone doesn't have a response so they change the subject or throw thing unrelated in.
