No, not "exactly" the same, but yes, certainly some things Obama is the same (or even more "Bushian") than Bush.
Not all people look at politics as starkly black and white, "my team vs your team" manner. That's what is destroying this country, and why our current Congress is useless. Too much polarization.
There's plenty I don't like about Obama, but far more I do like - a lot. But to think he's the same as Santorum, Gingrich or Romney is not true in the least. All three of those guys have "typical GOP" financial plans and platforms that would repeat the Bush financial disaster, throwing our country into massively deeper debt.
Santorum is just a religious zealot who has no place in the current political discourse (he couldn't even get on the ballot in some Ohio counties, he's so disorganized in his "run for President"): see Howard Finemans "The Republican Party is the first American Religious Party" editorial of a day or so ago. |
Thats again funny.. because, outside of maybe Joey you are the biggest home team supporter out there. What color are your glasses?
Our country is in the same crappy state as it was when Bush left. Worse, actually because we are much more in debt.
I just don't understand how you believe half the things you say.
At least there are plenty of objective people on this board, who understand that Dems AND repubs do not have America's best interest in mind.
I have conservative political leanings, but I barely support a party. Both parties make me gag.
