What's with the glee over another DUer's wife's (possible) suffering?

272. That may be because no one has the slightest hope of anything even close to reason from Republicans

It sort of 'goes without saying'. I personally criticize right wing policies all the time though. So do most Democrats. Right Wing policies are bad for children and other living creatures. That's kind of a given.

As for making everything about Obama all the time? That is true, but far more from those who cannot stand any criticism of policies, or such issues as placing Republicans in his cabinet.

Many times when discussing something important, like the privatization of education eg, without ever having mentioned, or probably even thought Obama, I have received responses that have zero to do with anything I might have said, such as 'you just can't stop attacking Obama'! ??? I never mentioned Obama.

Frankly I don't mention the president very often and have never done so in a disresctful way, but have received other comments such 'all you ever do is slam Obama'! Again, What?? When I ask for proof, of course it never comes.

So when this is pretty standard, when anyone tries to express an opinion on ANYTHING and it doesn't include 'I totally agree with Obama', those are the kinds of responses people are getting, and naturally they react.

The reason I don't mention the president a lot is that for me, some things I know now tell me that we live under a system and it is the SYSTEM that needs to be changed, so that when we do get a good president, s/he won't have to face enormous resistance when trying to do some good.

But regardless, on almost a daily basis people like me are attacked with FR-like epithets and insults, not that I care, drive by posts, most leveling the 'you hate Obama' charge no matter how irrelevant it may be to the topic.

The only reason I haven't put those people on ignore is because that won't stop them from lying about me, and i will never allow a lie about me go unchallenged. But there is no real discussion here anymore of issues. For some it really is all about Obama.
