It doesn't matter to them because they are all on the same team in the end.

I voted for Obama, but don't consider myself a Democrat.

Call me a member of the anti-wackaloon party.
I'll say your lost since you seem to agree or disagree with the actions depending on who it upsets. Your words not mine.

Surely before you start killing people, spending millions, into the billions, of dollars on weapons of war you want to know who's side you're fighting for? Are you saying you don't care who we side with?

It was anything but humanitarian... This is a banker takeover of a country that was debt free... The U.S. is a puppet for the Bankers...

And in those six months who are they again? Nobody knows. Probably more friendly Muslim brudderhood folks. It's been working out pretty well in Egypt as long as your not Christian and if your a woman you don the burka and take your place in the world of Muslim insanity.

I guess that is why the right wingers were complaining about Obama not doing anything about Libya... and when he did, they started complaining about doing it.

If you voted for Obama, but don't consider yourself
a democrat, I'm curious what political stances of his
you found appealing as a non democrat

If you didn't vote for McCain/Palin ticket I can understand
the anti wackaloon party position, but really...
to try and distance Obama from the democratic party is well...impossible.

Come on, guy. Don't deflect. Answer my question. Recalling past posts before anyone knew what was going on isn't going to help you.
