After all, some of the things Obama has done ARE controversial and definitely not in line with conservative philosophy. But their reaction to Obama's handling of the pirate deal radicalized me. When they can't even put aside their rabid partisanship to recognize what was without a doubt a job well done; well it pushed me over the edge. I'm not reading the Daily Kos. Yet. We'll see just how far the conservatives make me go. ;-)

Being the fence-sitter that you are p), at least you can point out when either camp is being ridiculous. As for me, I'm voting for the new "Classy Conservative" party, made up of all the conservatives who aren't kooks (the kooks can have the Republican party). After I start that off (easier of the two), then I'll ramp up the "Dapper Dems". Er. name suggestions welcomed. "lascivious libs"? Naw... Crap....
