The one thing that unifies conservatives:
Obama being black.
No, its because hes a democrat.
Rove v. Palin/Bachmann/PerryWhat Divides the Conservatives
Rove is kind of the Old Guard, as it were or perhaps the new Old Guard. Hed rather win elections with a knife in you back than a bible in your face.

Or it's because Obama failed to meet any meaningful promises he set during his campaign... Are you that fucking far gone that you really believe the only reason conservatives dont like Obama is because he is a Democrat? Tell us all why Obama's own base is almost to the point of no return and rabidly attacking him now?
You need to get a fuckin clue bro. Most conservatives came around to the fact that Bush sucked, (28% approval rating) and it's your turn to take Obama's cock out of your mouth because all we are hearing is this sucking noise when you relentlessly defend him for failing.

Right. And it used to be about freedom and equal rights. What happened?The animating principle of liberalism, from my point of view, is that life is fundamentally unfair, and that we (as a people) should should try to do something about it. We may not always agree about what should be done, but we do agree that we don't just leave someone behind.
The conservatives of today are quite an interesting topic. Today the conservative aspect of the country is represented strongly by the huge corporate powers who are interested only in attaining as much wealth as possible. They have a hatred for those who work hard just to make ends meet and believe in stripping them of any assistance whatsoever. Hence they would love to see SS and medicare and medicaid stopped.

If we could only go to back to the '90's when conservatives were so unified behind President Clinton because, you know, he was a white male.
While it's true that Republicans have become a very dirty party which spent more than 40 million in taxpayer money to try to take down Clinton, still, they did work with him, a little. With Obama, it's different. He's black. This not only has angered Republicans, it has enraged them. Look at "recess appointments". Just one indicator. In fact, Republicans have left a half dozen congressmen behind during recess so they can convene congress everyday for 20 or 30 SECONDS just to block Obama.
Since Republicans want to end Medicare, Social Security and raise taxes on the Middle Class (see payroll tax), it's clear their leadership is NOT supporting the majority of Americans. The Republican base accepts this because Obama is black. They want the country to fail to keep a black president from succeeding. Only honest Republicans will admit that, but we all know it to be true.
Presidential Recess Records
From George Washington forward, the other 43 presidents have used recess appointment authority to keep federal offices filled. Ronald Reagan recess commissioned 240 federal officials, George H.W. Bush (one term) 74, Bill Clinton 139 (including one judge), and George W. Bush 171 (including two judges). Obama has thus far has recess commissioned only 28.
House Blocks Obama Appointments Through 2012
He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.
If RepubliCON$ aren't crying about something, they don't feel good.
The liberal wing of the Democratic is critical of Obama. But they'll turn out to vote for him. The idea that Obama hasn't accomplished anything is wrong. Obamacare, killing Bin Laden, and ending Don't Ask/Don't Tell, to name three. He also got a payroll tax cut, along with a number of other middle-class tax breaks, which is not nothing.
The "liberal wing of the Democrat party?" I've got news for you, buddy: there is no conservative wing.

You guys screamed bloody murder when Bush made recess appointments..
Now you are for them because Obama wants to make them.
We have a process, it should be followed. If Obama wants his guys to get appointed, he should appoint people the Senate can vote for.
Someone figured out a way to legally stop the abuse. Good for them.
Bush made a hundred and seventy one, Obama has made 28. What the fuck are you crying about?
Not crying,man. Laughing hysterically that they've found yet another way to outwit this moron.
You're the one whining that he can't use a trick to appoint socialists to key government agencies.

The party of NO KNOWS NO better than to just say NO because they KNOW NO better.
If Obama does something he's playing politics and evil, if Obama doesn't do something then he's an outwitted moron.
9/11=>Obama=>Socialist and if you don't agree your unaMerican and can GIT GIT GIT!
The "liberal wing of the Democrat party?" I've got news for you, buddy: there is no conservative wing.
Yes, there is a conservative wing of the democratic party and, they're called Blue Dog Democrats.
Where is the liberal wing of the republican party? Where is the moderate wing of the republican party?

The so-called "Blue-dog Democrats" are fake conservatives. They may vote "conservative" on bills that don't matter to anyone, but when it comes to important stuff they are reliable votes for the socialist agenda. They all voted for Obamacare. Every last one of them.
I don't know much about Kucinich and Nader, other than they're fringe figures who aren't relevant. Nader, supposedly, used to be relevant, before he went off the farm and cost us the Gore/Bush election. I guess that makes me a "mainstream" Democrat, because I'm a fan of both Clinton and Obama, and I know next to nothing about the other two.

I keep wondering about that myself. I remember how hard liberals fought for deregulation of the airlines, and how all of their predictions about lower costs and more competition were proven to be right. Now they want more regulation, less competition, and less freedom. What the fuck happened to them?

You should check them out. There are some Democrats with integrity, however fleeting. The progressives (wikipedia article for more background info) are the people who are the most betrayed by corporatist Democratic policies like the ATA or the continued warfare state. Modern Democrats string them along with false hope in the same way the Republicans do the libertarians.
The one thing that unifies conservatives:

There are a hell of a lot of Democrats with integrity.
My father was one. After Nixon, he went back to Democrat.
Dad was a PHD in education, Marine Colonel combat veteran of WWII and Korea and worked his entire life.
And he never looked down on me as I vote GOP 90% of the time.
