Is that your cookie cutter reply to any thread you don't like? You're a die-hard lefty, should everyone ignore all of your posts too if they're looking for worthwhile conversation? If being solidly on one side of the fence means that your posts should be ignored wouldn't that pretty much eliminate this sub forum completely?

i have issues with people who are card carrying members of either party and not having the ability to think rationally and admit that there party isnt perfect.

i cant check off every R like you can.

i will give each candidate a fair shot, study and analyze them.

i feel my vote is more meaningful compared to people who will just vote R or D regardless, such as yourself on the right and others on this forum who only vote D.

In the eyes of the right wing radicals if you are not on the far right extremes in your views, you will be slammed as a liberal, lefty, marxist, socialist or other scary sounding words that they don't have a clue what they mean.

Obama plays nice, GOP turns tough - CNN.com
What you cheer on as some sort of Jr. High celebration of "winning" is nothing more than the GOP's attempt to financially ruin this country. The republicans have shown once again that they place their corporate interests above the rest of this nation and will undercut those in need in order to do it.

I guess that means you won't be answering my question then right? If Obama is a coward why did you vote for him?

Wrong. I really don't care if you believe it or not but I have crossed party lines many times in several different elections. I do give the Republicans the first shake every time but I conduct my research and go from there. For example, I could not vote for Bob Dole under any circumstances and I voted against W in 2000. If there were more voters like me out there this country would be far better off today.
