The fact is there were a lot of liberals who did hate Bush despite his rather moderate record.

I will put it like this, i am not totally for my party, blah blah blah. When members of my own party do things i do not like, i bit--. You don't hear me cause you do not know me.

Why let things get by, without saying something if i am bothered. That is the difference my party, is not guilt free, are not saints, make tons of mistakes, think of themselves, and act as babies.

When my party does things i do not like, yes i email, i make phone calls, i send letters, to no avail, i honestly think no one is listening on either side.

Of crouse if Romeny did things i did not approve of if elected, no free ride for him, why, because he is my party, don't work that way with me.

And let me make something clear. Maybe i do not like Obama as my Prez, and his policies, but i never have, so i am not a hyporcrite. But i do not hate him, cause on a personel level, i do not know him. It is strictly business. Color issue, please, some of my truly best friends in the world are black. His color has not a thing to do with my feelings.

Republician or Democrat, we have a right to speak out, if we are not happy with the way they govern. No other person likes it tough, this is our Country too.

So what? I'm not speaking for all liberals, or even a lot of liberals. I'm speaking for myself. Too many people on CD like to put all liberals in the same box.

I agree, but too many also like to put all conservatives in the same box.

Romney's a liberal. You should be asking this of conservatives.

There are many who give a POTUS too much power. As far as making law, he needs the Congress. They will not do anything for the country, just themselves. Both sides.

I thought Cheney was running the country when GWB was president. I'm sorry they got us into 2 wars. IMO, financing 2 wars with no funding was a mistake. It's done. Except for the pain the mothers of the dead and our vets suffer.

I think the country is in need of a therapist. We are in the midst of some sort of mass mental hysteria problem.

Plus, we no longer have statesmen.

There will be no difference no matter who is president. Goldman Sachs runs the country.

If Mittens wins at least we will be rid of the birthers.

Maybe not. His father was born in Mexico, of US citizens.

This is absolutely false.

There is plenty of racism in the opposition to President Obama. It's not all conservatives, but anyone who claims he wasn't born in the United States, or is a Muslim, or who posts racist caricatures of him is a racist.

What makes someone who declares Obama a Muslim or a non-native a racist?
