He was rated the most liberal senator so anyone who did a little research on his record shouldn't have expected him to be a compromise candidate. McCain would have been the compromise candidate. He spent his career compromising (i.e. pissing off conservatives). I'm not saying McCain would have been any better. Truely we had no good choices this time around. Let's hope for better in 2012.
I am not surprised. Obviously, the destruction of the US was not the "change" some (R)'s and Indies voted for.
What that poll also indicates is that with extremely low approval among Republicans and still high overall approval, the GOP is shrinking fast.
Becoming a fringe party rather than mainstream, it appears. Let's see if the GOP leadership comes to their senses before they back themselves into a corner they can't squirm out of.
the funny thing is I'm a moderate and yet I'm made to feel as though I'm a bit to the right of atilla the hun since the election.
Ditto, but I'll add that it's been since long before the election.
Left wing types tend to have this mentality of "you're with me, or you're an intolerant, racist, stupid person who doesn't have enough intelligence to rub two sticks together."

He was rated "most liberal" by a right wing rag magazine who cooked the statistic up. They did the same thing with Al Gore rating him the "most liberal" ...LOL

What magazine was that? Do you have a link to both articles?
I'm not (necessarily) questioning your information, as I don't know where that designation originated, but I'm not just going to take your word for it, either.
He's been bipartisan to the point of pissing off his base.
Can you give some examples? Especially having to do with his budget and the economy?

Is that the only card you have to play? Criticize obama - you're racist. Point out what a truly inept, bumbling fool he is without the TOTUS - you're a racist. Care that he will put this country into debt the likes we have never seen - you're a racist.
Tell me you don't mind that the deficit under obama will double many times over. That's A-ok with you?
The only reason why there may be any "polarizing" is because the right wing nuts can't get over their loss. They don't WANT the change.. they said they do, but if they were inoffice nothing would be getting accomplished.
They don't have the balls to do what needs to be done to get this country fixed.. he does.. and they resent it and they block him at every turn.
Ditto, but I'll add that it's been since long before the election. Left wing types tend to have this mentality of "you're with me, or you're an intolerant, racist, stupid person who doesn't have enough intelligence to rub two sticks together." I ask, who's being intolerant?
You know, sometimes you just reap what you sow. When right-wingers put up posts that are indicative of intolerance, racism, or stupidity, they should not be surprised to see them critiqued as such. If you want to be respected as one of intelligence who uses reason to relate actual facts and tested theories into a coherent view of an issue, try posting some things that look like that. No one owes you such respect without your having earned it first. You have heard of Personal Responsibility®, haven't you...
Is it actually necessary to note at this point that "destruction of the US" would have been an example of "staying the course" that Bushie had led us along?
I seem to remember you screeching about bush's $400 Billion deficit - but not a word from you regarding obama's $13 TRILLION deficit. Do you realize that your credibility is now in the SH***er?
