First of all, kudos for you venturing into political and making your viewpoint known. Too many do not but complain about those who do share thoughts, so let me say that first.

Now, the motive for your vote in 2008 is a bit cloudy to me. First of all, neither Bush nor Chaney were running for office. Secondly, the message you are giving to us is, and not trying to corner you, but it IS the message of the Democratic party and was for TWO years.

I will also add that NOBODY ever on here or in any forum I have ever heard has disavowed the poor or needy !!! NOBODY !!! I do hear and agree that there are folks that are on "the take" that live for that..they EXPECT that. That, in my opinion, is not what this country needs or has ever wanted. Polices that assist those who need get back on their feet are great. Those that give and give and offer no help are doing us not one bit of good.

It is my opinion, that this country...no, it is not an opinion..it is fact...that this country is filled with the most giving people in the world but frankly I see the giving appearing to be diminishing simply because of the current administration's policy.

You criticize those on here who oppose Obama and imply they dont care about others, and that is patently not only unfair but untrue. The Obama policies are not born out of any need to help....it is a policy that is purely and totally political, ie. a health care bill that was born in backroom deals unwanted by the country and as you will find in years to come will be an albatross around our neck as it DID NOTHING TO ADDRESS HEALTH CARE COSTS.

I welcome your posts but would like to hear you views on what this thread was about....that is...the lies this man has told in just over a year. I am tired of hearing about Bush..he is not the President, has not been for a year and a half and is not running for anything. You seem to compartmentalize things in party groups....Bush bad therefore Republicans bad and Democrats good. It is not that simple.
