I have a FB buddy that recently connected with me after several decades of not keeping in touch with each other. We grew up near each other ...anyway... I see he posted a very right wing link about how Obama is not legally the President blah blah blah..and his comment was "You won't see the liberal media touch this one!"...

All I responded was "You make it sound like being a liberal is a bad thing Bill!"

Well all hell broke out as some of his friends and then his wife came to his defense....

Basically how he doesn't take sides that he was really an independent...and that he he didn't use religion to make his decision on who to vote for (he is a Mormon) ... that his first choice was Santorum!

All I could do is chuckle how they see themselves... an "Independent!!" Really!! and he his first choice was Santorum!! Give me a break....

You cannot reason with these people....

Yesterday another FB friend posted GWB jogging with a former Iraqi soldier who had lost his leg .... and his comment..."Two Honorable Men!"...

I couldn't let that one pass.... and really laid out what I thought of GWB and that there was only one Honorable man in that picture and he lost his leg fighting for regime change in a foreign country!

After 8 years of failed policies and dragging us into two ill thought out wars...they still can't see what or are not willing to see the real problem and that is the republican party.
