President Obama's Disingenuous Attack on Outsourcing

225. You were doing okay up to your last paragraph, which is something you apparently made up

in your own mind and just threw in there, confirming my impression that you think democratic voters are stupid.

Fyi, I have supported Obama since I first heard him speak in 2004 and followed him and supported him when he ran for the Senate and in the 2008 campaign. That does not mean I always agreed with him or hesitated to say so. What you don't seem to grasp, as your last paragraph clearly demonstrates, is that someone can support a candidate while disagreeing on certain policies. Intelligent voters, which I believe most Democratic voters to be, do not expect to agree with a candidate on every issue.

There is no need to worry about Democratic voters not showing up. They showed up in 2010 which is why Democrats held onto the Senate, even though they were disappointed about some issues at the time. They know the stakes. It was Independents who did not show up.

As for Republicans being evil, yes, I believe the current Republican Party, especially now, is evil, promotes evil policies and appears to march in lockstep so it's hard to tell if there are any actual independent thinkers left in the Party anymore.

I totally object at this time to empowering any Republican who has not condemned the ideology that is driving that party. I have yet to hear a single Republican condemn the racism, the insanity of the leaders of that party, except for maybe, McCain during the campaign. But I would not want him appointed to any position in a Democratic administration either for what I think should be obvious reasons.

I am of the belief that Democrats are far better choices for positions of power. You may differ, which apparently you do.

We do not vote for Republicans and would not. So to have them foisted on us after we defeat them, is not what we expect. I want to see Dems in control of every branch of Government and every important position within this administration. Sorry if that bothers you.

Finally, since you made a claim regarding me 'not liking' this president, I challenge you to link to any comment of mine that has ever disrespected this president or given anyone the idea that I do not like him. Your assumption that because someone disagrees with some of his decisions, translates into 'not liking him', is proof of what I said initially, it is a simplistic conclusion to reach without anything to base it on other than the perfectly natural reaction of even supporters, to policy decisions that affect their lives.

We are supposed to push politicians we support to stick to their campaign promises. Not only is it a duty for citizens to do so, Politicians need the people behind them when they are making decisions with so many influences in DC putting pressure on them to break those promises. I believe the President said that himself, actually.

I will repeat what I said before, I am more concerned about voters, mainly Independents who are needed to win any election, being turned off by those who constantly attack and question the loyalty of voters who have some genuine concerns, only to be dismissed as 'not liking the president' or whatever. I don't care, I've been attacked by those who invented political attacks on the Right and am not easily influenced by such nastiness nor do I blame the candidate for what some of his/her supporters do in their name. But a lot of people on the fence will be turned off, not by those of us who listen to their concerns, but those who mock and dismiss their concerns. That is very bad strategy.
