So then, first of all, you're in favor of letting Iraq fall into chaos, which like or not, is what will happen with large scale troop withdrawments for the next few years. This in spite of progress on all the benchmarks the "cut and run" crowd has managed to impose.

"Sensible" healthcare? Better outcomes? Where's the evidence that anything the government does is sensible or produces better outcomes? Like the Post Office? FEMA? FAA? Airport screening? ad nauseum.

Intelligence is not a barometer of common sense, nor does it ensure a firm grasp of reality.

Oh yes, we know he's a liberal. And I don't doubt he would do what all liberals hope to do, increase the size, reach and scope of the government.

Restore international prestige? How pray tell will he do that, as if it needed to be done anyway?

All his record (what there is of it) and words say to me, is he's just another big government liberal that wants to try the same failed policies of the past.

I can only hope that you move there soon...lol

My brother and sister are (or were) in NYC where I often go to visit and be amazed by the city. I am in central NY (still NY, though) surrounded by lakes and gun toting deer and geese hunters. I am one of those. The geese land on the lake in front of my house and then I go out and scare them and murder them after they take off. Then I eat them. As for the deer I would shoot every last one of them ever since I totaled my car hitting one a few years ago. So I guess you could say that I am a well armed liberal. So the bad guys had better not mess with me. Or my wife who asked for a 410 gauge shotgun to murder the critters that eat her vegetables and flowers. She hangs out the window like Annie Oakley. A better shot than I am, if truth be told. So there you have it! A liberal with a gun! (or 2 or 3 or ...)

You really need to chill a bit Mr. Rag. If the bad guys come after you I promise to try to shoot them before they get you. I will do that because you are on my side and they are bad guys. Its the liberal thing to do.

Hooray for Obama!!!!

You have no idea how happy I am not to have to deal with that dilemma.

So you're not here, and don't live here, which was the thrust you felt suited your argument.

From all I read in the MSM, there are no "bad guys" just freedom fighters against American repression.

Mr Ragnar

OK. I am a bad liberal if I gave the impression that I am a resident of NYC. You can spank me for that. Us hicks just loves us the prestige that people like you have. Please cant I have some, please? After all, a good share of the state taxes I pay are subsidizing YOU, you goddam liberal freeloader!!
