I was thinking that the right (republicans) have lost touch with reality and the true America. I still think that.

• Were you thinking, “Two wars in the Mid East is just not enough! I hope 0bama starts a third war."
• Were you thinking, "I hope 0bama steps up the war in Afghanistan with 30,000 more soldiers and widens the war into Pakistan and increases missile attacks from Predator drones.”
• Were you thinking, “Gee, I hope 0bama doesn’t repeal Bush’s Domestic Spying Program."
• Were you thinking, "I hope 0bama keeps Gitmo open, and maintains rendition of suspected terrorists.”
• Were you thinking, “I really hope 0bama increases the unemployment rate to 9% or 10%.”
• Were you thinking, “Golly, I really hope 0bama starts printing trillions of US dollars, to monetize our national debt.”
• Were you thinking, “I hope 0bama keeps the Bush tax cuts in place.”
• Were you thinking, “I hope 0bama renews those civilian contracts for Halliburton and Blackwater.”
• Were you thinking, “I hope 0bama cuts $500,000,000,000 from Medicare.”
• Were you thinking, “I hope prices for a gallon of gasoline soar to over $4.”
• Were you thinking, “I really hope 0bama runs up at least 1.5 trillion dollar deficits each and every year”.
• Were you thinking, “I really, really, hope 0bama signs legislation that makes it impossible for businesses and unions to support health care insurance for their employees or union members.”

Please think, in 2012.

wapasha !!! ... On The Money !

Indeed ... It truly appears that any "thinking" and any type of thought process at tall was definitely in bloody short supply amongst those lil ole HO "Automatons" during the last WH Occupant election. What !

These "Pea Brained" blighters have proven to the rest of the world just how exceeding brilliant they truly be are as a result of the "One" fiasco !

How exceedingly Pitiful !

It didn't happen in 2002.

You may find this a gag. I don't.

I live in a very blue state, so Obama didn't need my vote. If the election had been close, I would have voted for Obama, because I sincerely believe that it was time for a black president.

I voted for McCain out of respect for his service to the country. I sincerely wish that he had been nominated in 2000, when he was obviously the better candidate.

Obama deserved to be elected. He was the more capable of the two candidates running in 2008. And unless the GOP can come up with someone better than the current crop, he should be re-elected.

Don't get me wrong. I don't think Obama has performed particulalry well. The economy is in shreds, our foriegn policy is mush, and one more mediocre SCOTUS appointment will cripple our society for decades to come. But the Republicans I see don't seem able to do much more than carry the water for folks with nutball social views and those who are already rich.
