So you can say that Obama is no different than Bush when it comes to siding with Israel before any other ME country.......the same reason you libs claim every Arab terrorist producing country hates us now.

So when Obama claims change it means no change at all but more of the same as usual.
I've tried to avoid playing this game, but I'm going to give it a try. I'll be honest, I'm not as good at it as you seem to be. Let's see...
  • You cons all want to bash Obama for defending Israel when that's the policy you support.
  • You cons all want to bash Obama for suggesting he'd attack areas in Pakistan, even though Bush attacked areas in Pakistan not a week later.
  • You cons have to lump every idea into an eight or nine word sentence (e.g. Obama was saying Iran posed no threat) that doesn't even begin to encapsulate the broadness of the idea that could be explained with even the slightest bit of common sense.
  • You cons all suggest that Obama's message of Change is empty rhetoric, but you can't stop angling your criticisms at that message. Why bother criticizing something that is no more than rhetoric?
    • Then, you cons all whine that Obama isn't actually going to bring change, yet you support may of the current policies of the current administration. Ipso facto, Obama's maintenance of the status quo would, presumably, be satisfying to you all.

That was lame. I don't like applying the label "conservative" to people. It's just a stupid word and it doesn't even mean anything. Furthermore, it's idiotic to lump people into ideological groups anyway because it often presupposes that all of their ideas can be predicted when, in fact, they cannot. Libs this. Cons that. From now on, I'll leave that to Savage, Coulter, Moore and Franklin.

  • Agreed. Both the neocons and liberals are turds for supporting those assholes.

I think you make a good point. Neocons are hypocritical bastards and those who vote for them harm America. Liberals are also turds and the same goes for Americans who vote for them.
