205. Not alot of hate
Fri Feb 21, 2014, 12:58 PM
Feb 2014

Theres not alot of hate. Some, mostly piddling, but not alot.

There's alot of criticism. There's alot of disappointment. There's alot of shock. There's alot of confusion.

And no, I don't support the force feeding of Gitmo prisoners. I don't support the tripling of troops in Afghanistan, or the execution of the SOFA in Iraq. I don't support the Chained CPI that is "still on the table". I don't support the mandate in the absence of the public option. I don't support the honoring of Rick Warren. I don't support much at all about the TPP in many of the different forms I have seen. I could go on but you get the point I hope.

He claimed that "a few years ago he'd be considered a moderate republican". He's basically Colin Powell. No, not my favorite president, but I'll take him over Romeny any day.

Yep. Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #1
