Obama has overcompensated by leaning waaaaay too far right, in order to not be considered a commie/socialist, etc.

He didn't regulate the banks enough, or Wall Street, or Big Oil, or Big Pharma, or Big Agriculture.

He didn't force infrastructure hard enough.

He hasn't weakened the anti-freedom Patriot Act.

His recovery budget was nowhere big enough to get the job done faster.

He implemented Bob Dole's conservative healthcare plan, instead of single payer, etc.

If a Republican came into office instead of Obama, the conservative Republicans would have done what they always do - skyrocket the debt - start idiotic wars - cut taxes on those who should be paying more, etc.

The Democrats would have never allowed DoleCare or RomneyCare to become law, but since a Democrat was elected, all sorts of shitty Republican right-wing crap has gone through, or at least has not been challenged.

Part of me wonders if another Republican president might just be what this country needs, to put the final nail in the coffin of the Republican party.

Imagine in 2016 we elect a Republican and right off the bat we get into another war. It will be game-over for the GOP.

What do Republicans even stand for? No abortion - religion should be taught in schools - corporations shouldn't have to pay taxes - unions should be abolished - there shouldn't be any minimum wage - polluters should be allowed to shit in your water - world problems can be solved by war, etc.

What an idiotic and ridiculous party platform. Sadly half the voters are so fucking stupid, that they still vote against their own best interests every time. PATHETIC.
