You guys just don't like him 'cuz he's black.
or white.
or something.
I don't like him because he is the most incompetent, unqualified individual ever to occupy the White House.
I am encouraging my British Bride to actively seek US citizenship just so she can not vote for him.

...it's all Bush's fault

A substantial part of our current economic mess is President Bush's fault and that of other Republicans. Under Bush, the Republicans had control of both houses of Congress as well as the Presidency but instead of using that rare opportunity to reduce the size, scope and intrusiveness of the federal government, Republicans did just the opposite and significantly expanded federal involvement in such areas as education, medicine, housing, and banking. Republicans acted just like democrats from a few decades earlier while the American political spectrum continues to drift toward the socialist left, and this at a time when the economy was rather fragile after the collapse of the speculative bubble in high tech securities as well as the economic burdens arising from the war on terrorism.

Much of our current economic malaise is properly President Bush's fault, and that of other Republicans of the time as they where complicit in the expansion of the federal government, such as former Sen. Santorum, not because they behaved like good fiscally conservative Republicans, but because they behaved just like Democrats attempting to purchase power with bread and circus paid out of our nation's treasure.

The general public proceeded to blame Republicans for our economic troubles, no big surprise, but the general public also completely failed to comprehend that the problem was that these Republicans where not fiscally conservative and then doubled down on exactly the same basic flawed economic behavior by voting President Obama into office and giving control of both houses of the federal legislature to socialists.

Personally, with what is now happening in the Florida Republican primary, I am starting to think it is simply time to consider erecting a new government to safeguard our sacred liberties. I love this land, or more properly I love the principles on which our society was established, the land itself, however physically magnificent it might be, is not worth a drop of our precious blood if the government that we erected to preserve our liberty becomes the very agent of our oppression. I look at my precious children, I think of their future, I despair.

I pray God forgive my sullenness.

Mabe so GMan, but Richard is dead on. And if the GOP nominates Romney, as it looks like it will, we'll get more of the same, albeit nothing on the scale of Obama. The only Republican I would NOT vote for is Ron Paul, and he appears headed for the trash pile again. Newt is flawed, but I do believe he'd take this country in the right direction. I just pray that he gets the opportunity...

I have to agree with you Wing. I can only hope that that Newt makes another come back.
If Romney is the final winner, I'll hold my nose but vote for him. ANY ONE BUT OBAMA...

A few others need to change their politics... And perhaps, just perhaps...Richard knew the meaning of the word and he IS sour. Any sensible person who made the mistake of voting for Obama has every right in the world to a sour outlook.

[buckshot]

Wing, I have no doubt in my mind that Richard knows the meaning, and used the right word.
