(was) regularly Spewed here." I challenged that because I know that your quote isn't posted here regularly or even occasionally, in fact I am going with never. You fail to show me proof and changed the subject to accusing me of being "blind", "If you can't see any shades of gray here, you're blind." I then pointed out that I see goodness in the President and as well bad policies and a lot of gray in between. Maybe you have a hard time seeing the gray areas, you seem to never disagree with his positions.

Once again I want to point out that a Democrat holds his/her elected representatives accountable. It's easy to praise them.
I might understand the resistance to be critical of the person one chooses to lead, but I do not understand the need to disparage those that do.
