it seems to me that you guys switch your allegiance on and off at will when the people in power screw up enough that you want to distance yourself from them and claim you never voted for them in the first place because you are "real" and they are some weird hybrid republican/conservative.

all you have by way of counter argument is the ancient nonsense that democrats want your money and want to spend it on stuff like healthcare and schools and roads and the other stuff you use all the time. you also have fake arguments like this one. some group gets a little excitable and asks for a national holiday and you want it to be a big thing.

you diminish "your" President by calling him Barry/rockstar/the one/ etc, etc. you have no substantive argument, no counter policy, no reason why your country is not a million times better off with Obama and the Democrats in charge than the last 8 years of unrelenting misery that you have all been caused by a failed ethos of tax cuts/small government/warmongering nonsense.

it doesn't work, it never did and it never will. the USA is a big complex country and it needs a big complex government run by smart people (whatever party they may be) to make it work properly. you've seen what happens when it's done badly (reagan/Bush/Bush) and you've seen what happens when it's done well (Clinton/Obama (we'll see)).

I reckon the right is more hacked off that, like communism before it, your ideology has failed and now, like Hannity, Limbaugh and O'Reilly you're just going to lash out at anything and everything no-matter how small and petty.

As a Conservative I believe that people are at their best when left to their own devices, not controlled by a bureaucracy.

As for "democrats want your money and want to spend it on stuff"… infrastructure is one thing, bailing out companies who have priced themselves out of the market and driven their companies into a ditch with tax dollars is not something I approve of… but before you flip out, the Republicans in Washington are largely at fault on this, just as much as the Democrats are.

I make regular posts to my blog, so rather than detail each of my stances I would just suggest you keep reading. As for the election response thread where it was mentioned that the author did not vote for McCain/Palin… go back and take a peek at the Author section under the post title. I did not write that post, it was a guest post by a close friend. For the record I DID vote for McCain Palin.

This country may need change, but MORE government is not it…

A friend of mine will be marching in a protest today against the newly voted for Prop 8 in California and she’s mad as hell.

You’re list is full of vague issues that are more than just black and white issues… I know people on the left that are against any and all war no matter what. Who were against ANY sort of retaliations against those who DID attack us on 9/11. To me, that’s just stupidity.

I’m just pointing out that of ALL my regular commenters you seem to be the only one who has to stomp and spit when you’re making your point, as if it makes your opinion more important.

fixed elections, wars, criminality, torture, corruption, incompetence, intolerance, not so much!

i’m aware that folk used to call him Barry but it would be President-Elect Obama surely, you guys are all about the respect thing, right?

Electing our first Bi-Racial President IS an accomplishment, but the man himself shouldn’t be the focus of a holiday. If we want to make Election Day a national holiday so people could get out to vote that’s one thing… but putting a man up on a pedestal simply for being elected is ridiculous.

BTW, “Barry” is the name Barack went by as a kid before changing back to Barack later in his life.
