When Obama created his entire campaign based on three things which he now will not or cannot do what is happening for his supporters now?


He said he would pull out of Iraq, now clearly that is NOT his plan, and he also plans to send four times the troops to Afganistan and also attack Pakistan.


He can NOT do anything about HEALTHCARE, he knows this, regardless of the fact that all his plan boiled down to was a 2,500 dollar tax credit per family for medical related expenses, that is FAR from insuring 330 million people and 64 million illegal aliens.


He said he would cut taxes for the middle class, which can not be done now that we are having to take this bailout which all the Democrats are pushing the hardest for, since so many are tied to the bailout in a personal way like accepting lobbyist money or kick backs and also having their part in blocking regulations on subprime loans.


I would like to know other than Obama being black which is the appeal for some, and other than him being young and inexperienced what is the huge attraction? He endorsed many of Bushes policies including the wire tapping. He also voted MORE with party lines than John McCain and he also voted 94 times to raise taxes on those making over 42,000 dollars...so WHY is he better to be President?

"it's simply that liberals are intolerant of those who don't share their views."

I'm not worried about TOS - I asked the question because I'm generally interested your reasoning. Plus, I have no insecurities that I might actually be an idiot...

I think that calling anyone who disagrees with you an idiot is pretty intolerant. Conservatives certainly have their fair share of intolerances - as illustrated by your post. As illustrated by those who want to ban gay marriage (I still cant figure out why people care who OTHER people marry). Several poster's on this board take every opportunity available to denigrate muslims (there are only 1 BILLION of them in the world - they must all be terrorists).

To pretend that liberals are the intolerant ones is absurd. There is plenty of intolerance to go around (heck, I love Bill Mahr but watching on The View today made even me cringe).
