You're right.. I am disappointed as well.. ironically this is should be listed as to why he's 'taking over our govt' by the GOP'ers who blow that horn.. but no, they don't mean this kind of stuff, this is their red-meat, they love it and would give the gov't any power it wanted to go after 'those' people, you know the 'not me' brown/black people..(but ironically again, they claim to want gov't out of their lives, unless its to tell 'those' people how to live.. jesus, how much hypocrisy can one party live by?) But no, Obama is 'taking over this country' and 'changing what America looks like forever' because he's black, a democrat, and he dared to give healthcare to 'those' people.. go figure..
I don't know the right answer here, I don't know why he did it.. I wish the Pat Act would have never been passed since we'll never get that back.. we were all told that this what we need to make us safe and if we didn't agree than we must be on the side of terrorists.. The NDAA just preserves that 'status quo'.. just like I warned, we'll have this in our lives forever.. because we 'fear' we have been conditioned with 'terror alert levels' for years to 'fear' and while we're scared, lets just give a little more up to the gov't.. it'll be ok because we need to be safe ya know..
what I do know is that no matter the outcome of the GOP primary, Obama still getting my vote because he's still better than Mitt or Newt.. and frankly, he's more stable than Paul. And that is what it boils down to.. I might not agree with Obama 100%,but I agree with Newt Romney even less, and while Paul has my support on many issues, on others he doesn't, and in reality, he's just not capable of being in that office. So who's left? I"m not a 'single-issue' person and while I dislike this, it's not a deal-breaker..
and that's going to be Obama's biggest hurdle.. The Sullivan article was an eye-opener, we 'center-lefties' should be rejoicing more than we are.. but it's things like this that deflate us..
Very well put.
I think if it came down to Obama and any of the GOPer's, Obama would get my vote. If it came down to Obama and Paul, then I would have to think about it. All that said, I am not 100% happy with Obama and most of it boils down to kow-towing on issues of freedom.
I am also pissed that he did not introduce a bill in Congress in lowering taxes on middle class by 1% and raising the upper class(over 300k) by 1%. Get those assholes on record, catering to the 1% of our society.
