Speaking as a once disgruntled hillary supporter, I missed my chance to vote last time because I forgot to register at the city I had just moved to. I also wasn't very motivated to vote then.
I'll be voting Obama this time around. I think he has done the best job that he could possibly do under the current circumstances.
My question to the conservatives is what rights have we lost under Obama and how can they justify comparing Obama to hitler? I'm still at a loss on that.

Re: Next campaign as pragmatic and non-idealistic as the last one?

I hardly ever see him, except on the State of the Union...and again, I'm actually interested in politics. I see Republicans far more prominently than I see Democrats.
You'd rather he's out there campaigning than doing his job?

Re: Functions Of Government.
Crashfrog, what amazes me is that you're still talking to buzsaw. I'd go insane if I keep talking to buzsaw like this.

Re: On the other hand: News from the real world
Yup, just saw this news.
Obama wants to cut corporate tax rate to 28% as part of overhaul

This is exactly what the republican candidates have been advocating. Now, sit back and watch republican candidates go back on their own words just because that's Obama's plan now and anything that Obama does is fascism.
While driving to work yesterday, I was listening in on npr. They were interviewing the governor of Michigan, Rick Snyder. It's obvious that saving the auto industry saved Michigan. But since Rick is a supporter of Romney, he couldn't possibly admit that saving the auto industry saved Michigan. That was my prediction before I started listening to the interview anyway.
So, the host asked Snyder if he thought saving the auto industry saved Michigan's econ. And sure enough, my prediction came through. He talked for about a minute round and round in circles that pretty much admitted saving the auto industry saved Michigan but without actually admitting it up front. Classic example of a cop-out answer. Anyway, the host then asked if he supported bailing out the auto industry. Snyder said he didn't have any comment on that.
You could tell in the entire interview that he really thought saving the auto industry helped his state. But since he already swore loyalty to Romney, he couldn't actually say anything that could possibly be in favor of Obama. So, he just ended up giving cop-out answers.

You're rite of course. Can't wait to see their responses.
