(48,121 posts)The whole 'you are saying obama=bush' - The two may be worlds apart on many things, but on some they are not.
Why is it so hard to grasp, and why is it always wrong? Bush pushed through electric cars for the military because it could save cost on short trips at bases. Good idea. Obama could equal bush on that and I would be just fine with it. Bush's folks were ok with Solyndra, cool with me that Obama was as well.
On some national security things that I don't agree with they also share similar actions. If you can't understand that to be true than I don't know what to tell you. Facts are facts (unless you are a fundie that believes the world is only 6,000 years old.....).
I can discuss issues as an adult without waving pom poms or thinking that it is the end of the world if the guy I voted for is not perfect.
I damn well won't give someone a pass though just so I can feel better about my vote.
