No-way. He scammed me once; he won't do it again. I'm sitting on my hands the next election.

I actually have this video in my favorites on YT :-)
Yep, just imagine what Carlin would be saying now with Obama and the tea party, etc??

Banana republic, we're coming---can you hear us?!?!?

Trust me, if we move *EVEN FURTHER* to the right, there will be such an outrage in 2016, that the left won't have any choice BUT to do that!

Yes, I agree with you. Herein lies another problem though:

While Obama hasn't done squat with his "hope and change", he knows he can continue running on the right side of the political spectrum because he knows just what extreme there is even further to the right within the republican party, so unless a serious challenger can nail Obama in the primaries, it'll be like voting for a republican vs a crazier republican in 2012.

Assuming you're referring to the other thread, read my response. It's not bankrupt.

Ha ha.

One.
Liberals are the world’s biggest dupes.

Two.
The "democrats" i.e. liberals in US politics need to have their politicians vetted a little more carefully before promoting them as saints and gods...

Three.
Liberals and their "issues" are way to ephemeral for any rational person to follow let alone ghetto intellectuals like B.H. Obama. They make inconsistent and knee-jerk reactionary instantaneous demands that simply cannot be complied with. (Perhaps that's half the point)

Liberals:
They truly deserve what they get.

Name one liberal bill Obama has passed during his presidency...

The Wealthcare Bill doesn't count (centrist) and the Financial Reform Bill doesn't count (centrist).

DADT, MAYBE, but another than that, name one more...

Assuming Obama still runs next year ( makes you wonder if he's really even trying sometimes ) regardless of who he's up against, would you still re-vote for him again, and if so, can you elaborate why?

Thanks!
Yes, I voted Obama 2008.
No, I am not very happy with the way he wasted his mandate to govern, and I am particularly upset about UHC and the stimulus being watered down to meaningles status.
Yes I will vote Obama 2012.
Reasons: Palin, Bachmann, Paul, Perry, Cain, etc.

Field a real candidate to oppose him and I will vote for him or her.

The Repub. party is way to far to the right. It is starting to embrace almost facist policies. See Wis. and Ohio. They can't be trusted because when they take power the nonsence begins.

Liberals totally gave up on Obama??
They are all in with obama. They might grouse and complain, but they will support him to the bitter end.

You mean all those IOUs count? Do you know how many TRILLIONS in unfunded liabilities there are?

Oh yes, they all count. Obamacare, rammed through. Stimulus, rammed through. Financial reform, rammed through.
