The libs are liberals, as they have abandoned personal responsibility as a part of their political beliefs and embrace emotion, rather than reason, as a basis for their actions.

Liberalism has become a cult in which one must disregard common sense, reason, objectivity, and self preservation in exchange for intangible emotional concepts such as "fairness". I saw a liberal patient today (in her late 60s). I asked her, what the hell ever became of the cool, tolerant, hippie who had a "live and let live" attitude that one could deal with. She said that they grew old and bitter (this patient had not done so and was positive, pleasant, and just like the hippies I remember).

Wake up. Jefferson was right and Stalin was wrong. Liberalism is a disease

People spoke out against Bush when the disagreed with him on the Right. You just didnt listen. The thing with Bush was that EVERYTHING was criticized and bashed by the press and Hollywood. Every solitary thing. Yet now that Barack is in office, the press never takes him to task, never holds him accountable. Always looking to go after his opposition, and defend anything he does.

Romney will get criticized from some of us on the Right. The difference is, the press and Hollywood will not just hold him accountable, they will over do it and go after him on everything he does, just like they did with Bush.

That is what some of you fail to understand.

What? So we're supposed to say that we're ashamed of a candidate because YOU think we should be? Get real, buddy.

Accountable for what? This year's drought? Last year's tsunamis? Oh, wait, I get it -- Middle East protests. He could have prevented those, right?

Are you like 14? How about for the 5 trillion dollars in debt he racked up in less than 4 years? How about the fact that unemployment is still above 8%? How about the fact that his stimulus money that was going to lower unemployment to 6% obviously failed? How about shoving Obamacare down America's throats? Need I go on?



Ah, I forgot to mention - Many Republicans DO hold Bush accountable for things. I don't think Bush left Obama with an easy term by any means. I think Bush screwed a lot of things up. I think he made a lot of mistakes. But you people have to get off the Bush-bashing train and realize that it was FOUR YEARS AGO. Are you still going to be bringing up Bush a decade from now? "Well... you guys voted for Bush! Na Na Na Na Na"

Where are all those people who protested against Bush and launched the nastiest attacks? Where is the impeachment process against Obama? You know 27 out of the 35 Articles used against Bush apply to Obama right? Obama has killed more Terrorist and enemies of the state than Bush could have every dreamed of with Drones that the international community has called Illegal. What about the killing of American citizens by Obama? I don't here a dang thing from the left, but silence. What about Guantanamo? Oh those poor terrorist, we shouldn't hold them there, we need to give them rights and show the world that we are not bigots. Where are all of those would be thousands and thousands of people marching against the racist/fascist right wing christian fundamentalist Bush for deporting the most Illegals in history? where are those same people? Oh that's right, because he is a Democrat, so it doesn't count.
