Hmmmmmm,
I am not a Feminist but I do believe in equal rights for women in all things, yes Liberal thinking.
I am not an Atheist but I do not believe in forcing my beliefs on others or attacking them for their beliefs even if they have none, yes Liberal thinking.
Not an EnviroNazi, but I do believe we are only caretakers of the Planet and see apsolutely nothing wrong with doing all in our power to ensure that the Planet is in as good, if not better, shape for our future generations as is possible, which also includes not allowing any species to go extinct due to our greed, yes Liberal thinking.
I am not Communist, even though I understand the idea well enough to know the ideal is good in theory, but it is not possible due to human nature, so I believe in the capitalistic form of living so long as we give a little on the way to those that help us attain our successes, yes Liberal thinking.
Loser? Such a broad brush you paint with there, be careful to not get any on yourself, since it is such an obviously right-wing form of thinking

We are improving, not a great stablized economy, but agree we are improving.

However we are not ok one iota, until we no longer have the millions of foreclsores that are already listed, and new ones soon to be released, the short sales, and the thousands of repos.

How long has this housing situation been going on, since Obama has taken office, go head admit it, quite a while.

We need a stable housing market, for things to improve, everyone knows this.

I know many still unemployed, until this housing situation, and unemployment get stablized for months on end, we are just i mproving. Nothing more.

Figures that come out from this Administration, i hardly listen too, don't trust them never have never will. And that's my pergoative, and you can have yours!

"What's the Matter with Kansas" was a great book on exactly how the GOP works the rubes with this strategy.

If I see another campaign based on this I'm not voting anymore. Ever. For anyone.

So the economy is improving slightly, which moves the goalposts on that topic a bit (but still in the Republicans favor IMO). This Catholic Church thing is manna from heaven....which is why they're beating it to death.

But when examined, it's the dumbest controversy ever dreamed up. It doesn't hold up. Catholics that were already predisposed to voting for a Republican are making hay over nothing. But they think they'll snatch some votes from him. We'll see.

9 outta 10 Catholic women use contraception according to a poll i heard about. So this whole matter is a joke.
I was thinking the same thing when I heard that news story. Expect to hear more about guns, god, and gays. The only problem is that Mitt is not the best GOP candidate to deliver that message. Actually he's probably one of the worst, behind Paul.

How is it we have the Food Stamp President during a supposed recovering economy?

We all know these numbers would get manipulated for the election and we also know the press who wants to reelect Obama because they are also socialists that would never challenge Obama on much of anything.

I think the latest controversy over contraceptive and Rick Santorum's wins suggest this is where the race is going...
When they have nothing else, history shows that they will always fall back on the so called, "wedge issues".

Regardless of whether or not the economy is improving (it isn't) they'll always run on god warrior nonsense because it gets the rubes out to vote.

The GOP running an election without their holy roller shtick would be like having Monster Jam without Grave Digger.

Apparantly so! We can't seem to count on the god-nazi's, haters, bigots and racists. Too much tea, makes for very grumpy constituents

Really, the "food stamp president", how many required sound bites are you supposed to use in a given week, to be a good little lock step republican? Oh yeah, and lets not forget "socialist"......yeah, thats new and fresh.
