Democratic loyalists and Republican loyalists seem to assume that Independents and Moderates view their parties as the "good guys".
I don't see either party doing anything but lining their pockets, pointing fingers at each other, and bleating about some boogieman from which only their political party can protect the US public.
When does the NYT run "faces of the fallen" these days or is war a good thing now because Obama's the president?
I'm a Moderate and I really can't support either party. I'll go Republican until there's total gridlock and/or Obama fails to win re-election.
I'm a bit more disgusted with the Democrats for continually maintaining two incredibly expensive wars we can't win, lying about Guantanamo, shrieking about the Patriot Act then renewing it, maintaining corporate/bank giveaways and bailouts, creating Obamacare, pushing new warrantless wiretaps, etc.
Obama called the Democratic base "retarded" for not blindly supporting his bad policy (through Rahm Emmanuel). The Administration (through Gibbs) then called for Democrats who don't agree with Obama to be drug tested. Gibbs may have been joking but no prior Administration ever insulted its base like that or even joked about that kind of invasion of privacy.
That Obama allowed (or even directed) his staff say these things solidifies Obama's staggering sense of entitlement and incompetence in my view.
I've seen the supporters of the most powerful man on the planet (Obama) even try to play the race card to explain why the center has retracted its support.
I won't support Obama because I dislike his policy, he is not entitled to my support because he's labeled a Democrat. His supporters simply can't face that its not his race but rather his job performance that's created opposition and disdain in the center.
When a party demonstrates it can't be trusted with power its necessary to vote for gridlock.
The Democrats will only make things worse and throw money at their friends, same as the Republicans. I don't see Democrats as the lesser of two evils, they're both horrendous.
Ever play a FPS? Its an acronym for 'First Person Shooter'. Modern example of an FPS is Call of Duty: Black Ops. The reason I bring this up, is internet games in the FPS gene and moderates are so much alike. In FPS games, there's a group of players that will, round after round in team deathmatch games.....stay on the same team.....regardless of the outcome. Then there's a group of players that need to be on the winning team......no matter what. They'll make up all sorts of excuses, for why their loyality to one side is no longer current. As result, some matchs are not 18 on 18, but 27 on 9. Unlike goverment, in a TEAM deathmatch game, the general idea is both sides are even in terms of player number.
Moderates it seems, are trying to pick the 'right' team to side with right now. Their reasons are numerous, but one thing is certain: they always try to be on the winning team. And they never say they voted or 'cheered' on the losing team.
Next election, isoLadyOwner, will vote Republican or Democrat for the office of President. She'll come up with reasons for why that is. Not because they are good reaons (they could be), but because she wants to be on the winning team. And if the other person wins, she'll just say she voted for him as well. Since people know she's a 'Moderate', she won't be seen as 'being disloyal to her party'.
I'm not sure I follow what you're saying here but to clarify, I am male, I don't play MMORPGs and don't think they are a good source to derive life lessons from.
I don't care which side wins as long as the interests of the USA are being tended to competently. Neither side is capable of that, Democrats have taken incompetence to a whole nother level.
In light of Obama's expensive wars, lying about Guantanamo, renewing the Patriot Act, maintaining corporate/bank giveaways and bailouts, creating Obamacare, pushing new warrantless wiretaps, and insulting his supporters I don't want to see him get a second term.
I would guess Call of Duty: Black Ops has a defineable victor in a finite campaign, its also a video game. Probably those displaying childish behavior in a videogame are doing so because they're children.
Voter's are almost never really on the "winning team" in the USA unless they are employed by the RNC, DNC, or Federal Government.
How can anyone claim to predict my actions when they don't even know whether I play Call of Duty: Black Ops?
I don't care about being on the winning team. I care about not seeing my country buried in debt, fascism, and crippling unemployment.
Obama's actions in Office have convinced me he is not an astute or competent leader and I'd rather see a cactus or even Sarah Palin elected in his stead.
