To answer specifically:
1. Liberals have just as much common sense as conservatives, whether or not you agree.
2. Unintended consequences have bitten both liberals and conservatives equally and often in the butt since 2000.
3. This statement makes no sense, so there is no reply. Nonsense is no sense.
4. I doubt anyone, liberal or conservative, who are interested in honest and civil discourse automatically presume anyone on either side is either an idiot or racist until proven otherwise. But, of course, there are plenty on both sides who aren't interested in discussion. All they want to do is call names and hope to gain points from others of their ilk. Civility is a scare commodity on the internet, whether the discussion is serious or about a starlet's latest side-boob paparazzi picture.
5. Who does not have 'gratitude' in their vocabulary?
6. Some people act and speak from their emotions only, and others are more dispassionate and use belief and logic and facts more than emotions. Neither side has a corner on the emotional aspects of presidential politics, and this forum is evidence of that fact.
7. Again, there are those on both sides that only seek out confirmation of their own beliefs. An intellectually honest person who wants to engage in serious and thoughtful political debate has to read all opinions, whether they agreed with or not.
8. Some people can only see themselves as the center of their little universe. This is equally true of liberals and conservatives. Others on both sides have more balanced perspectives. Everyone has trials and tribulations, and everyone triumphs once in a while. That's the way the world works.
9. Some people have a hard time admitting they make mistakes. Other people do not. This equally applies to both political philosophies.
10. Everyone who discusses politics comes from an ideological position. I firmly believe people are born as conservatives or liberals. Only fools are always certain of everything. Facts are facts; the world is not flat, but Gallileo was put into prison for telling that truth to power.
Not a single one of the items on your list applies only to liberals. If you are just trying to kick up a fuss, this topic is a failure.
If you are conservative, you will never understand the liberal mind. Either way, who said you get to set the terms as to whom will qualify as an Obama idealist or not? You're not the only guy here who's wearing big boy pants.
Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck fit those criteria to a T, as do the creepy Teabaggers on this forum. Is "Obama Idealist" the new term for the right? I'm not sure why they're adopting the name of their worst enemy but it's no more stupid a name than Tea Party, which sounds pretty gay for a group that hates gay people

Not an ounce of truth to anything you said. Face it, you picked a loser. You have something in common with obama, he only picks losers, too..
