Obama hesitated, it was Panetta who issued order to kill Bin Laden

I, too, used to be a Republican -- back when I thought they stood for fiscal responsibility and NOT for religion, prying into people's sex lives, and unscientific idiocy. I remember thinking, at one time, Republicans were generally smart, well-educated, and thought people could make their own decisions about their own lives (how is telling people who they can and can't marry/have sex with NOT creating a nanny state?). Anyone remember Goldwater? I'll bet Palin doesn't even know who that is...

Liberal through and through now. Lesser of two evils, IMO.

There are lots of people I know in that boat. FIL who was a Goldwater Republican. His position is that he has to choose the lesser of two evils: a government that has its hand in your wallet vs. one that has its hand in your shorts.

Under his watch, the most dangerous man in the world was killed. And yet we still hear this nonsense. This is more embarrassing than the birth certificate nonsense.

We lost. Get over it. If you care about your country, then you want Obama to have a successful Presidency. If you want Republican in office next term, then help with the campaign. Sitting on your ass watching FoxNews and criticizing the President every time he sneezes doesn't help.

Thank you. I hope you really are a Republican.

I very much believe the poster could be a Republican. I typically (not always) vote Republican, and I completely agree with the post.

Carl Schurz said of his adopted country, America, "My country, right or wrong; if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right." There are Republicans with a similar feeling about their party. Perhaps it would be rephrased as "My party, right or too far right; if right, to be kept right; and if too far right, to be set right."

What a shock. Obama voted present with UBL in our sights. Who could make up such a thing?

The people who said he was born in Kenya. And produced his Kenyan birth certificate.
