It's hypocricy to gang up on a republican leaning individual when he was open-minded about Obama to begin with. Allow a little variety in the political debate or else it becomes a dictatorship with only one candidate to choose from. |
Why do we have to be biased dems? I grew up in the military, but mostly Southern states. When I was old enough to understand things was in the middle of Reagan's regime. I saw unemployed folks, I saw him really dissing minorities and doing nada to help them improve. I'm not talking about handouts, but the average Anglo never had to worry about drive-bys, drugs in their neighborhood or barrios. And then, to top it off, Guilani was shooting fools first and asking questions later when he was Mayor of NY.
Sadly, the GOP convention was a reflection of who they are. They aren't diverse. The Dems really try harder than the GOP to help out the less fortunate. I voted twice for Clinton and I can tell you, I was making as much then as I made just last year. Yeah, sad huh? I had more money in my pocket, gas was cheaper and the GOP was steadily complaining.
The party in power for the last 8 years has had on its watch:
9/11
Financial meltdown not seen since the days of the great depression
Record unemployment
Vast home foreclosures, contributing to the economic plunge
Health care costs that just keep soaring (why am I paying $100 for an inhaler when I can go to Mexico or Canada and get it for $5?!)
And folks are like 'I want to choose my own doctor.' Fine. Do your thing. When I was growing up in the military, everyone got the same service, be it private or full bird colonel. And I so miss it now. We are paying $350 a month for health care, and they are complaining about pre-existing conditions. France, Canada and even the UK have it right with health care.
Something needs to be done. No, it won't happen overnight, but at least Obama is a step in that direction. I don't care if it's an alien or a mule giving me care - as long as they know what they are doing, I could care less about who is giving me care.
8 is enough. There's no need to change tactics if you get elected and your party is in charge. Nope, no reason - just lies. And the next 4 years, they'll harp on change takes time. Syke. Clinton reversed course in his 8 years - and with Clinton folks helping O, he can do the same.
Check the numbers with Bush 2 vs. Clinton's ending numbers. Clinton own3d Bush big time.
