That's what really counts. There will still be astounding numbers of people who vote for him while still knowing what a mean, smug, arrogant, cold, unfeeling, greedy cheapskate he is, and sincerely don't like and/or have doubts about the guy. But they'll hold their nose for him because they hate Obama more.

Go figure. Doesn't make any sense to me.

What we're looking for is more people coming home - to what is REALLY America's Philosophy: Liberalism. Open, welcoming, sharing, kind, compassionate, room for everyone, a safe haven where we are ALL on a level playing field.

This presents a STERLING opportunity, maybe once in a generation, to rehabilitate and take back the word "Liberal." To reintroduce it now that people can see, more clearly than ever, the true nature of the CONservatives these days. You can see their "hearts" (assuming they have any - and their behavior suggests the answer's NO). We can reshape the perception of it. An EXCELLENT opportunity to compare and contrast - when the Liberal mindset comes out SO ridiculously positive by comparison. For all you minimalist or simplistic thinkers who see the world as being black or white, good or bad and nothing in between, are you comfortable with that rigid world view? Do you really see it that cut 'n' dried? Which is better? This? Or that?

And a few reminders of what liberals have done or enacted or fought for - over the decades - that's improved the lives and livelihoods of millions of Americans. Including stuff they all like and even paint protest signs to support, such as Medicare. That never hurts either.
