Dont\' give a damn about who someone sleeps with, who they marry, what they put in there body as long as it doesn\'t effect me.  <br>I voted for Obama.

What announcer has prroven to be a bigger hypocrite than Rush Limbaugh?  Who has been more wrong more often that Bill Kristol?  Yet these guys are huge in this party.  <br>GWB drove the defecits up, the economy went to hell under his watch (and 6 of 8 years of all Rep govt).  We have spent or will have committments for a medium estimate of 3 Trillion dollars because of the Iraq war.  <br>I agree with the basic idea that you save during good times and pay down debt and you borrow during bad times.  Just think if we had continued to pay down debt and hadn\'t committed so much money to Iraq?  <br>I don\'t like the bailouts but they didn\'t start under Obama.  He has the misfortune of taking the reigns at a very difficult time.  <br>The Ron Paul supporters (who weren\'t welcome by the Republican party establishment) can rightfully complain all they want.  They seem to have consistent principles.  If you supported GWB, if you thought defecits didn\'t matter, if you weren\'t concerned about the massive amounts of money that were disappearing in Iraq or the continued contracts with Halliburton and KBR and Blackwater then you shouldn\'t be concerned now.</div>\
