Yes, and it's spelled: O. b. a. m. a., P.e.l.o.s.i., R.e.i.d., F.r.a.n.k., D.u.r.b.a.n., D.o.d.d., S.c.h.u.m.a.r., B.o.x.e.r., S.e.b.e.l.i.u.s., G.e.i.t.n.e.r., A.C.O.R.N.

It would take me all week to complete this list. There are far to many involved in this massive takeover of America, by the hard left.

America: Keep speaking out. Do not let these people intimidate you by calling you an "angry mob" or anything else. They are now on the run. Keep it up. We will prevail.

Have you forgotten already that a huge majority of Americans intentionally chose President Obama to lead us? An exercise of Democracy is hardly a "takeover of America, by the hard left", though you are correct that the difference in the number of votes cast for President Obama and his <snicker> opponents was, indeed, massive.

From your position slighhtly to the right of Ghengis Khan President Obama may look like a leftist, but he is really a centrist. He is governing to the right of what many of us had hoped for, but he still has time to correct his course and accomplish the things we want done.

That's what second terms are for, and we Real Americans plan to give him one.

The party will never recover from the last eight years of abandoning conservative principles and fiscal irresponsibility. I'm no longer a Republican, I've switched to the Libertarian party.

Nicely put, cuebald. The fact that President Obama was elected by such a large number hasn't really taken hold yet. Nor that, in spite of fear-mongering and advertising out the wahzoo, most Americans accept both his citizenship and policies. Many evangelicals have moved away from the GOP, feeling that they were cynically manipulated. Before long, there will be others feeling the same way.

Well you don't hear a lot about the GOP anymore. I think they are content to hang in the shadows and let the democrats argue amongst themselves. They hope to win by default.

What's hurting the GOP?

They've pushed the Democrats out of the way, so that they (the republicans) could become the "new" Democrats ... which in turn, forces the Democrats to become socialists.

I don't vote Democrat, or Socialist ...

Republicans haven't really been Republicans since ole Trickie Dick was in office.
