It is symptomatic of the change in focus, and it's been coming along for some time.

I said this to our most vocal 'hater' early in Obama's presidency: you cannot tout yourself as any kind of "patriot" (no matter how well you know the words) and want our country to fail so you can say "I told you so."

IMHO, they should all be shot for treason.

Not seeing any reasonable, viable moderate alternative being proposed by the GOP, it looks like an easy pick for Obama for me this year. Maybe if he gets his second term, Congress will get over the obstructionism and actually get something done.

I know a lot of hardcore conservatives. I am not doing this to piss them off.

That's just a happy bonus.

I don't see anyone I like but like most of my conservative friends we are all going to vote for the person who is the front runner for the GOP to ensure Obama's defeat.

Isn't that how Hitler got elected?

I don't think that he was elected like that. But hey, I know people that would vote for him over Obama.

For some strange reason, that doesn't really me.
