Why does a conservative seem to respect the Democratic left more than many Democrats? Plus: Pick Hillary, or don't, but get it over with!

    yeah thats right Confucius

    Obama has reneged on every promise he has made during his campaign but it's Hillary's fault.

    Bill Clinton, the only Democratic president to actually stand up to the Republicans and face them down over the federal budget is the one who started the Democrats decline? Kudos to him for "trashing welfare" (now the Democrats are pushing corporate welfare instead) and giving us the lowest crime rate in 50 years.

    It's quite simple......Obama believes in winning at all costs but many of us don't believe in the "ends justifies the means" philosophy or his religious dogma.

    "I do not support gay marriage. Marriage has religious and social connotations, and I consider marriage to be between a man and a woman." (From the Human Rights Campaign's 2008 Presidential questionnaire) - Barack Hussein Obama

    Wouldn't it be nice to have a president who put civil law above religious law?
