[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right-leaning Independent here and the problem in my eyes are the extremes on both sides of the aisle. In my view, Obama has polarized as much as Bush did. He may be a good person and gives an incredible speech, but he's inexperienced and too partisan to get anything done in Washington.  I think Hilary Clinton is the only viable option, but doubt she'll run.[/quote]

Just want to point out that you're absolutely fucking insane if you think a President Clinton would be less "polarizing" than Obama.  The reason Obama (or any other Democrat) is polarizing is that it's a long-running GOP strategy to radically demonize any Democratic politician who does anything but capitulate to the craziest demands of the far-right wing of the GOP.  Hell, they do the same to moderate Republicans (the few that are left).

Just out of curiosity:  Are you under 25?  Because this is the exact same script we've seen playing out since Clinton's first days in office, if not Carter's.  The second Obama was sworn in, the GOP worked tirelessly to paint this guy (who has essentially the same political leanings as Bob Dole) as a Marxist tool.  And "right-leaning independents" just eat that shit up.  After all, there must be something to it if the professional outrage-guys are all outraged.

Now if we could only get someone more moderate and centrist in the White House.  Like Hilary.  I'm sure the GOP can find a way to work with her.
