For instance, I said that the GOP leadership was nutsier than the Democratic leadership RIGHT NOW. And I think it is. I'm not crazy about Pelosi, but Obama is the clear leader of the party, and he's a lot more level-headed than Limbaugh, who is the de facto leader (or at least the loudest voice and the one whose ring must be kissed). It won't always be this way. But that's the way it is NOW.

When someone dismisses your comments - even your nonsense - it's being "dismissive." When you do it, it's because it was "all the substance needed." How convenient. Of course, there was plenty of substance in #41 to respond to, but I'm not surprised you didn't.

I clicked on one of the side navigation links and found this: <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/BaldEaglet/6589349" target="_blank">http://www.cafepress.com/BaldE.../6589349</a> Again, I don't expect everyone to like Obama, but what has he done to get these folks so worked up? Is racism fueling this? Is it because he's a liberal? Or is it just plain ol' crazy?

So in answer to #73, probably not. I haven't agreed with everything Obama has done, but I want to know what Obama has done so far that has been socialist that Bush wasn't already doing when he left office, I mean really. Someone who is very conservative, please tell me....

Originally Posted By DouglasDubh <I want to know what Obama has done so far that has been socialist that Bush wasn't already doing when he left office, I mean really.> If we didn't like it when Pres Bush did it, why should we remain silent when Pres Obama does much, much, more of it?
Originally Posted By DouglasDubh <These people are motivated by fear, ignorance and emotion.> Exactly. So much so that they're still spending so much time attacking the right, even though they control the White House and both houses of Congress.
