Of course, Im more-and-more inclined to believe there is no such thing. As an honest Democrat, that is.
Via Truth in Exile: Why Honest Democrats Should be Against Obama | Truth In Exile
While not surprising, I still find it disturbing to watch people enthusiastically support a president that they actually dont even agree with, or shouldnt agree with. I understand that most voters couldnt care less about politics; and when I say politics, I mean the issues. Most voters, every four years, come out of political hibernation, to perform what they have been told is their duty.
They vote based on speeches and soundbites, for unfortunately, they just do not follow the actions of their candidate as closely as they do the actions of their favorite sports teams. We all claim to understand that most politicians will say anything to get elected yet we still support candidates based solely on what they say, not what they do.
I thought it would be a worthwhile exercise to compare the supposed beliefs of the average liberal not to Obamas words, but his actions. Lets list some of Obamas accomplishments, specifically those that actually go against what liberals are supposed to stand for
And the reasons include:
The Patriot Act
Indefinite Detention
Guantanamo Bay
American Assassinations
War
The Drug War
Bailouts
Whistle Blowers
Go read the explanation of each.
