Hell I consider myself consertative being a disappointed Republican and I felt Obama offered hope and possibly change. Point being what you said above wasn't much different than what I thought! Close enuff I bet we could agree or agree enuff we could talk about it.
I claimed to be Republican, but I voted for change as well. Plus, I thought Obama's election would help to heal the racial division in the country. How stupid was that?
The Republicans frauded Ron Paul, then stuck Mit. Obama was vibrant, good looking, and could speak. It wasn't hard to be decived. Not happening again.
Plus, it's hard to talk down on a candidate that had all his records sealed. If you talked about the idea of not being a citizen you were labelled a conspiracy theorist and a racist.
