4. Actual Republicans don't think he's like a Republican -
they think he's the Red Menace.

8. Because amazingly enough some Repukes are dumber than
others and don't know a good thing when they see it. Also, their leaders need to keep up the illusion that the "two parties" are warring with each other.

Election season is a huge distraction from the important matter of the day, OWS. No matter what happens at the polls, the winners will be decided by TPTB and things will go on as usual, that is down the drain.

12. Name three.
OK that's too hard, name one. And please try for a critical issue that will keep the country from dying a tortuous death, as it is now.

That question is very Fox New's like. You decide what it's asking. Then "they" decide what your answer means.

16. Because the Republicans are just like the fascists
The Republican Obama's policies are too left wing for fascists. Plus he's black.

19. Is that why Romney said that the way to get this country out of its economic mess is
to do almost everything opposite of what Obama did? You know, bowing to the Republicans like he has ... appeasing them ...

27. Because he isn't fascist enough for them.
They want a straight up, above board fascist, not a slow walking one.

28. You know what Truman said on this and you know he was right. The Turd Way is a fuckload of fail
in all its incarnations and flavors from Blue Dog to DLC to New Democrat to "pragmatic progressive".
