  • What Obama Supporters Have Taught Me

    [Read the article: Barack Obama's epic win]

    They have taught me that the Democratic Party is nearly identical to the Republican Party. Both will trash, stomp, insult, and belittle anyone who doesn't fit with them ideologically, no matter what they have done for America. It's all about political ends.

    I was horrified when the pukes were wearing band-aids with purple hearts on them to belittle the military accomplishments of John Kerry. I was disgusted when they tried to make Max Clealand out to be a traitor (the man lost three limbs in Vietnam for goodness' sake!) I thought my Party was opposite of them - caring, careful, considerate of the feelings and accomplishments of their fellow Americans.

    Boy was I deluded.

    Now I don't know where I belong politically. It's surely not with the Republicans (I'd rather put salt in my eye than vote for , but it doesn't feel like it's with the Dems anymore either. I think I've been born-again Independent.

    and of course the obamaniacs respond in truly troglodyte fashion. I for one don't even feel at home in the Democratic Party anymore. I am not a republican and never will be, but I think I've been born again Independent.

    You asked How is anything that happened to Hillary worse than the treatment John Kerry got from the press, which multiplied many times over the little investment the swiftboat slanderers made

    Cause the other side was doing it to John Kerry. BTW he voted for the war too and the Party was fine with that last time around. Now it's the people who are supposed to be with us who are doing it. It was Democrats calling her names, slandering both the Clintons, bringing up ancient right wing talking points about her. It's been a wake up call, I can tell you that.

  • If the money is right ...

    [Read the article: My company wants me to move to California ]

    IF the money is right and they're paying for relocation, I vote for renting out the house and going to Cali for a while. This way you get to play it safe and have an adventure all at the same time. Seems like the best of both worlds to me.

    As Salon has pointed out, bacon is the opiate of the masses in the US. Try free bacon, John. It can't hurt.

    I am still a reluctant supporter because I'm still fucking pissed about the primary, but more oratory of this caliber will bring me on board. It's a very level-headed and American message - "We are the ones we have been waiting for." It's about being your own hero. If Conservatives would allow themselves to listen with an open mind I think even they would actually like what they heard.
