Reported political mentor? Reported by whom, limbaugh, beck, or some other respected journalist? Another of those silly accusations that birthers and other right wingers throw around to avoid talking about real issues. Yep, I defended obama, just as I would defend anyone who was being attacked unjustly. I have stated my dislike for newt, cain, and bachman, just as I would express my dislike for kucinich or sharpton if they were running on the democratic side. If that makes me a liberal in your eyes, I couldn't care less. By the way, if the republicans insist on nominating newt, I will either vote for obama or a third party candidate and there are millions more like me I believe.
