I know the Republicans do all kinds of nasty stuff, Bobert. I just don't get how normal political criticism of a Democratic administration from people who are in no way allied TO Republicans equates to things like Republicans sending thugs somewhere to disrupt something.

How many Republicans do you think are reading my comments anyway? Seems to me that there are very few of them on this forum. Am I supposed to be afraid to criticize things Obama does because it might make some Republicans feel happy? A Republican who hates Obama doesn't need me to convince him of anything...his mind's already made up.

Anyway...as I've said time and time again...it's the administration that's in power whose policies I am most concerned about if I am objecting to American policy. When Bush was in power, I was very concerned about him and Cheney and the rest of them and I talked about that. They had the power. Now Obama and his people are in power, and it's them I'm concerned about, cos THEY have the power right now.

I'm criticizing the US government policy itself, Bobert, not engaging in a partisan dogfight between your two political parties. I think that's why we're having trouble understanding each other's point of view. You're fighting (for one side in) an election campaign. I'm not. I'm criticizing a national policy.
