2. I don't know if a republican can do better/worse with the current times.

3. What I mean and have said for awhile now is this:

- The democrats can do better. Those voters who are democrats could and should expect and demand better than what we've got currently.
- Is this the best our democrat party political choices can do?
- Really?
- If somebody has common sense and backbone and can do the right thing (not necessarily for any party affiliation) I don't give a damn if that person is democrat, republican, libertarian, constitutionalist, or somebody that worships radishes.
- I have never pledged allegiance to the democrat party, even though it might sound contradictory to say that I'm a habitual democrat. That's what I call myself, but that doesn't mean I won't vote across party lines. Because I have, do and will in a heartbeat.
- Being critical of the democrat party doesn't make me an automatic republican. Period.

Here's another one I like: Since the overwhelming majority of working Americans are subject to drug testing, so should people that are relying on working people to give them money while they are unemployed. This would be necessary for the unemployed, those on ADC, those on welfare...anyone getting money from those that earn it and are subject to drug testing. We could call this trickle-down drug testing.

"The policies that crashed the economy, that undercut the middle class, that mortgaged our future, do we really want to go back to that, or do we keep moving our country forward?" Obama said at another fund-raising event in Austin, referring to Bush's eight years as president.

Obama blames Bush in Bush's backyard. Are you friggin serious? Does BHO honestly think that his wreckless spending is less damaging than Bush's economic policies? Does he really think the American people will buy-off on this bullshit? Seriously??

During an interview with The Hill in his West Wing office, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs blasted liberal naysayers, whom he said would never regard anything the president did as good enough.

“I hear these people saying he’s like George Bush. Those people ought to be drug tested,” Gibbs said. “I mean, it’s crazy.”

The press secretary dismissed the &#8220rofessional left” in terms very similar to those used by their opponents on the ideological right, saying, “They will be satisfied when we have Canadian healthcare and we’ve eliminated the Pentagon. That’s not reality.”

Of those who complain that Obama caved to centrists on issues such as healthcare reform, Gibbs said: “They wouldn’t be satisfied if Dennis Kucinich was president.”

You can add liberals to those who are now disgusted with the Administration.

Robert Gibbs put liberals on blast in a recent interview he did with The Hill.

I will give them props, because I have never seen an administration call out their base like that. It would have been like the Bush White House lighting up Conservatives, and that would have never happened no matter how disgusted with them they may have gotten.

Obama is definitely getting frustrated though as conservatives think he's a socialist, liberals think he's Bush incarnate, and independents just don't like him.

I didn't think it was possible to alienate everyone simultaneously as there are always some winners and losers, but you get the feeling that the White House feels like everyone thinks they are losing no matter what it does.

The liberal blogs are absolutely on fire right now as they are seething.
