We will continue to be at war and will jump into more wars. Obama is just as much into war as any republican. We need a changing of the gaurd if you will. These political games are doing nothing but hurting the country our politicians are supposed to be working for. I could sit here and say liberals are stupid conservatives are greedy and stupid or dems suck and repubs work for wall street. What does that really accomplish? You are set with your beliefs and i will not change them one bit by telling you that Obama and Romney are working for the same team.....Its not the citizens of the United States. What we need is people with plans not accusations. Until then we will continue to be in a tailspin heading for absolute destruction.

In fact, I'm a big fan of drone strikes in places like Yemen, because we don't get our guys killed; I like the way Obama handled the Libyan intervention, no American lives lost, and we're putting a really good economic and trade squeeze on Iran right now.<br /><br />I think liberals are just as good at being patriots and Americans as your side.John J.

Further, why is it so appalling to imagine tens of thousands of deaths at the hands of nuclear weapons, but millions in the name of women's rights is palatable?<br /><br />Jay Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997519179796849230.post-30809843708735119612012-08-14T09:42:13.025-04:002012-08-14T09:42:13.025-04:00A fairly good list, although "clean coal"...A fairly good list, although "clean coal" isn't what I'm talking about here.
