Now I have seen it all

How about there is no difference between democrats and republicans.

Or Obama is the same as Bush, or even Nixon.

My favorite is trying to convince people siting home on election day is a good idea.

I too have seen a lot of vitriol towards people who actually think the president has done a lot since he was elected, and is NOT a total failure as some here want to paint him. I see people who claim they are "true" democrats, but those of us who might disagree with them are nothing more than "authoritarians", Obamabots, mindless drones marching in lock step with the party, etc.

Do you think it's a bad thing to support the president? Do you think that those who do support him never disagree, they just march in step?

I have no problem with whistle blowers, as long as they are really doing what they do for the right reason and not for political reasons. I think the NSA thing has gone to far and needs to be fixed, but congress has to make the laws to do that, not the president. I think speaking out when we disagree with policies is fine, but trying to lay all the blame on the president when congress has to pass laws to make or change policy is wrong.

I have been around long enough to know that change comes from voting. Get out during the primaries and vote for someone you think can make the changes we need. I also know that when my candidate does not win, it's still a hundred times better to have a democrat in office than a republican, even if I don't agree with everything that democrat may say or do in office. Nobody is perfect, but anyone that thinks the kind of republican tea party nuts we see in office today are acceptable over a democrat we may not see eye to eye with is someone I would think has a different agenda than I think democrats should have, how about you?
