"If you are looking for the guilty, you only need look into a mirror"
This country was put to a terrible test, it's name was George W. Bush ....we failed the test.

First he was allowed to steal the 2000 election, we turned to our politicians, when they failed to act we sat back down.

This was followed by years of crime and corruption, our Treasury was raided, the Constitution was shredded, our reputation was dismantled and our standard of living was reduced.

Here we are today, still sitting down, still compromising our core beliefs, exchanging our principles for hypocrisy.

You cannot respect the Constitution and at the same time show respect for the people shredding it and STILL BE A PRINCIPLED PERSON ...this only makes you a hypocrite.

Most of you have family members or friends that are STILL republicans, and who have stood loyally by GWB while he attacked the Constitution....and you know that you still treat them as equals...you STILL show them respect.

And this is where you have failed your nation. GWB took this dark path and you refused to follow him down it, but when your family and friends asked you down the path you went right ahead, this makes you a hypocrite.

2. Maybe.
At this point I want Obama, but I don't think the US deserves him.

The US deserves Cheney or Rummy.

3. But you will ONLY vote for Obama?
...and not for Clinton should she win the primary? You are some mealy mouthed democrat if that is so.

You may deserve the GOP and more Bush/ Cheney/ McCain - but the rest of the country does not.

(All politics is compromise btw.)

5. Hillary is a republican
I don't vote for them.

8. Ah! A puriista twista of logic
Are you a Ron Paulist "purist"?

You could always write him in.

In any event - not to vote for the democrat in November will be a support for continued BushCo criminality.
