Spending time with family outside of DC reminds me how so far to the Left DC/DCUM really

[Anonymous]

This thread is so ironic. OP, you have proven your point in spades.

OP, I totally agree with you. The only place worse than this area that comes to mind is San Francisco. I like this area overall, but not the blind, rabid liberalism. One PP mentioned the incredibly conservative midwest and south, this area is no better... it just sits on the opposite side of the spectrum.

It made me very scared. I'm only being slightly paranoid, but this is how dictatorships start. Continuously feed people falsehoods that the press doesn't have the balls to say are *lies* and eventually you have an misinformed majority (and some folks who know what's real but actually support these ideas) that gives you power.

I'm truly scared for our nation. Not because of what the Repubs are doing and saying, but for the fact that they just don't get called on it. Lies are left to hang out there. The general public is not reading all these fact-checker sites. Everyone gets their news from a source that already aligns with their worldview, so they never hear both sides of the story. People hear Paul Ryan say something, and they're going to assume he's telling the truth. It started with Sarah Palin - she would repeat lies over and over. I guess they figured it was a successful strategy.

Where have you been since Wens night? The media has done nothing BUT pick apart Ryan's speech, line by line, in an attempt to "expose" the untruths and misinformation. Read the WashPost from yesterday if you don't believe me.

I think you're confusing this with the Obama message.

Sadly it won't be reciprocated next week. Obama and bidens BS exposed for what it is.

My family is still that way but my dad is considering voting for Romney this time around (he voted for Carter, Clinton, Mondale, Obama etc) because he feels that the leadership of the country is rudderless and this time around feels like Obama is divisive. Compared him to GW Bush. I think the Democrats need to swing back to the center after this second Obama term.

Hmm . . . your family supported all the other Dem. presidents, but not Obama. Let's put their faces in a photo lineup and play "Which one is not like the other?"
Oh, wait, I forgot, your family supported the civil rights movement. Riiiiight.

BTW -- Obama's divisive? Or the USA has its share of racist, conspiracy-theory obsessed loonies that have focused their hate on Obama.

Ahhhh. The race card. Surely, an Obama supporter can do better than that? The PP shared her feelings in what appeared to be a sincere manner. Then you come along and post this drivel. Can no one oppose President Obama without prejudice being the "buzz" word? I admire President Obama and Michelle very much. I think they're great parents who are raising two wonderful daughters, I think he's highly intelligent, and I think he cares deeply about those less fortunate. I also think he's more of a professor type than a leader-type. It has absolutely nothing to do with the color of his face.

The right wing here is extreme right, and what few moderates there are left are getting squeezed out. It is all part of the process of the fall of the empire.

If I were some anti-US organization like al-Qaeda or the Taliban, or even Iran or Venezuela, I would put away the weapons and find ways to fund the Republican and Tea parties. They'll do the job for you in the long run, and far more effectively. Refer to to the Bush administration if in doubt; massive damage done that will last for decades.

What an excellent comment. Spot on.

Don't feed the troll. There is one poster who frequently pretends to be some disaffected democrat. Different story but always the same theme in the end.

Dont feed the troll.

If you're comfortable thinking that "most of America is freaking ignorant," then wear your shoe. I'll wear mine and disagree with you.

I blaim the GOP House and Mitch McConnell's unified goal to beat Obama. The American people be damned!
Please do talk about the non majority Dem majority in the senate. 60 votes to do anything

Ooh, don't scroll down to far on that link or you'll see how Obama and Bush compare. Ouch! But now that I point this out, I expect that you will flip flop and turn international opinion into a negative thing.
