Now, now...the poster isn't a GOP spokesperson. MineralMan Apr 2013 #76
Well, as far as I know, the poster never spent time supporting Bush on right wing sabrina 1 Apr 2013 #109
Nor does the poster support President Obama here now. MineralMan Apr 2013 #110
The poster has every right as a Democrat to oppose policies that sabrina 1 Apr 2013 #116

Obama "started wars"? I thought he's finishing TWO that were begun by Dumbya? Trashing thread! Liberal_Stalwart71 Apr 2013 #106
Obama is not using drones as Bush did? I thought he escalated that program sabrina 1 Apr 2013 #111
Correction: He's *finishing* the war in Afghanistan. No amount of ODS will dimish the facts. Liberal_Stalwart71 Apr 2013 #114
I won't equate him either zipplewrath Apr 2013 #118
You are building straw men and then knocking them down. sabrina 1 Apr 2013 #120
If people are equating Obama with Bush and Bush is evil, then Obama is evil. Liberal_Stalwart71 Apr 2013 #139
