Thread Name: BS: Popular Views on Obama
Subject: RE: BS: Popular Views on Obama
No, not really, bb... I like conservastives just fine,,, Not too many of them around anymore.. They have all capitulated...

I view Obama as far more conservative than Bush... Bush is a radical... He has acted wrecklessly on just about every front...

We need more cautious and thoughfull policies... There hasn't been much, if any, of those qualities in the Bush administration...

I know that you can't accept Bush as a radical but he has shown to be just that...

And I know that you can't see Obama as more conservative than Bush and that is the sad part about partisanship... I don't believe, bb, that you could begin to list the tenents of the conservative movement without Googling it up...

That's why, IMO, I see you as a partisan... Partisans don't much care about core values, only that they are or aren't in the winner's circle...

This isn't meant to be mean... Or disrespectfull... Just observations of your positions over the years...

Oh sure, you love to try to turn that back onto me but it don't stick...

I don't vote parties... I vote (or not) candidates... The last Dem I voted for for presdient was Carter so you can't stick "partisan on me"... I've carried my values with with me for a long time now and believe me, if Obama screws up I'll be on him like ugly on a gorilla... I just haven't seen the screw up yet but you can take it to the bank that if I see it I won't rationalize it and defend him...

Wish you could say the same about your 7 years of defending Bush at every turn...

Yeah, bb, tell us what it is about Bush that fits the conservative mold... This oughtta be quite enlightening...
