40. No, they care more about the issues than they care about Obama.
The ISSUE is the thing - and if Obama is on the wrong side of the issue, that doesn't change our attitudes on the issue.

SS is no longer the 'third rail' BECAUSE OF OBAMA. Once upon a time only a few radical republicans even suggested ending it - Eisenhower said to never touch it. Now, since the radicals have taken over the republican party, when they talk about killing SS, Obama says "OK, lets talk about that."

That's YOUR SS and your CHILDREN'S SS that is under discussion - and before Obama it was NEVER put 'on the table' by a Democrat.

Not only has he offered it up for sacrifice, he is already de-funding it with his so-called 'FICA tax holiday' (sounds like a real fun time!!!).

I don't hate Obama - I hate the Republican policies he advocates.

I am a Democrat for a reason, and it is not because I was born into it or it was politically advantageous to pick D over R.
