Obama, please go away!!!!

WOW hit on my biggest problem with the whole of the last 8 (6 really) years... The suggestion that being against the war and the way Bush ran things made people somehow unpatriotic was the most vitriolic thing imaginable. It came from both the broad republican culture and the administration...
Yuck. I hope (and think) Obama's team will be better than that. There is no democracy where dissent is marginalized.
As someone who dissents frequently against both the donkey and the elephant, I feel this pretty strongly! [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]

(re: whistle stop: I abhor all wasteful spending, but I have a hard time caring much about this when Obama is following Bush with another massive "bailout." A plague on both your houses! [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] )

Can any republican here tell me why fiscal conservatism has gone the way of the mastadon? I used to be disgusted with both major parties but sorta root for the republican. Now I am disgusted with both major parties but sorta root for the democrat... Ah well, what's a boy to do?
