General Discussion

I am glad that you explained things for me, I feel pretty much the same way. As I said the problem is with those who "ONLY" post negative things about the president and who seem to ignore all the many thing he has accomplished. Yes many people may be life long dems, but the fact is many of them are allowing the "fear and smear" tactics of the right to affect their thinking. As I said they do have the right to be upset, and to complain about it, but many times it goes so much further with rants about nothing but how bad president Obama is, how useless he is, etc., and that has to make you wonder just where they are coming from.

Fear and smear is a great tactic used by politicians, and by religions, and sadly it works on many who don't take the time to realize they should be checking things out instead of simply buying into the words of those who are using those tactics. Many posters here are trolls in my opinion, the new posters who started rolling in about the time all the scandals were bing brought up by the republicans. Many Paulbots are also here. It's really hard to understand how those trolls can get so many people worked up and spouting right wing talking points and Ron Paul libertarian points. A few years back these trolls would have been run off, now some of them actually are getting their of the wall remarks on the main page. It's kind of crazy.

I do agree with you about politicians not working for the people, but I also agree that everyone needs to understand just who much worse things will be, or would have been, with a republican in the WH, and even worse if republicans control both houses of congress. We need jobs, and we need fair wages, and the only way I see that happening is with democrats in office. The best thing people can do is not stay home, but find democrats that will work for the people and help them get elected at the local and state levels. Sure it isn't easy in some areas, but the way republicans are tearing things apart and passing asinine laws when they take over state government, should be making even some republican voters stop and think about what is going on. It's even worse in states where teabaggers have gotten elected.

It all has to start at the state level and the only way that can work is if people get out and vote.

Thanks again for your reply.
