first, when are you going to accept that we dont care if osama is all obama has to run on and thus he politicizes it? You guys were the ones complaining about politicizing things. It's your standard, not ours. Ive always been in favor of running on one's record. Unfortunate this is all obama has.
Second, why are you hysterical when you realize you have a double standard?
my standard has nothing to do with osama bin laden or politici ing a damn thing. I used to be a republican when they stood for balanced budgets, small government and individual rights. Now they are in the pockets of the corporations and the wealthy:
