19. Yeah, I think the old DU has been invaded by Republicans posing as Democrats.

There was a thread on why voting for Obama in 2012 may not be a good thing. I guess they are of the opinion that not voting for anyone will somehow cause neither Obama or Romney to win?

I don't understand when Democrats start tearing at their own party. There may be some things that Obama has done that I don't agree with, but overall, I would vote for a Democrat over any Republican, especially after what I've been seeing in the past 3 years.

With members of the Republican party vowing to do everything possible to make Obama fail, regardless of what it does to the country I don't understand why anyone that carries the Democrat label would be remiss about voting for Obama and allowing another Republican to finish the job that Bush started, putting us in the toilet.
