not make you a Republican. But it sure bolsters up their side. And, you're doing a fine job of it. And, I did rebut his post, obviously you chose to ignore that.
You said this: "Usually, people who act like Republicans and are on the side of Repubicans are not Democrats, but Republicans".
So, maybe you are speaking out of your own guilt - because by dissing Obama, you are acting like a Republican. Usually, if it quacks like a duck it is a duck.
