(704 posts)That's one of the biggest problems we have. Sure, Obama is better than Romney which means, what--exactly?
If Bush was the guy in there right now, would people on these boards be singing his praises? Would they say, it's okay he propped up the big banks? Would they say, it's okay not to prosecute those criminal bankers because they're too big? Would they care that the wars rage on, that drones kill innocents? Would they care about the government collecting private data?
Would it matter if this was Bush and he were grabbing more and more power for the executive branch?
Because remember, Obama won't be in office forever, and the next guy with that power might be a Republican.
Will you like it then? Will you tell others that they are part of the problem for not--going along?
Or will you be outraged?
No one should be loyal to a symbol or party or man.
They should be true to their convictions and ideals.
Otherwise, it's just selling your soul.
But be honest about it. Don't live in denial.
