    Nope, I am real conservative and I believe in America's constitution. How on Earth could I ever support a piece of crap like 0bama when he is doing everything he can to destroy the constitution and America's economy, while paying the unions back for electing him with money taken from the people who actually earned it?

    Nice attitude, especially when the former administration lied to the country about WMD's to get us into a war we could never "win" . I am an independent, but register as a democrat to be able to vote in the primaries. I believe in our Constitution and think about how the former administration took away so many rights of citizens that so many want to blame on happening in the last 4 years. Like search and seizure laws and privacy, where it is ok to dictate checking on private actions of citizens while in their own homes. Wasn't that all put in something called the patriot act,making those who only read names rather than content think it was for the good since it contained the word "patriot"? I still had faith in others in that particular party, but with all the hate I see and hear being sited in the past year, I'm not sure which evil is best to vote for. in November. One thing, I'm really not at all happy with those who make comments about women being only worthy of indenturetude to their fathers then husbands. No, they haven't said those exact words, but what they say they want for the US, it's what it amounts to. Not all of us who love our country and our neighbors and carry our own religious beliefs in our hearts so that they go where ever we do, ARE patriotic and re...

We simply beieve it doesn't always have to be shouted with negative comments and name calling to those we don't particular care for. We'd much rather stay positive and avoid those who are under educate and can't find words to use for descriptions other than nasty ones!

    Florida pizza shop owner Scott Van Duzer lifted President Barack Obama a solid foot off the ground in a bear hug during an unscripted stop at his Fort Pierce, Fla., store. Literally.

    So what did the Secret Service think about Van Duzer — a registered Republican who says he'll vote for Obama in November — hoisting the president? "He said I was all right as long as I didn't take him away," Van Duzer told reporters.

    "I don't vote party line, I vote who I feel comfortable with, and I do feel extremely comfortable with him," said Van Duzer, who also voted for Obama in 2008."

    Lies.

    Here's a website with the truth, which features this quote:

    "Between 1944 and 2012 — a span of 68 years — exactly four U.S. presidents have attended D-Day memorial ceremonies a total of exactly six times. Barack Obama was one of them."

    I also found a site which says these monuments are Normandy were never by presidents until president Reagon, president Clinton, president Bush #2, and president Obama (2009) the 65 anniversary' Further it says that no events involving D-Day events have not been on any presidential calendar since 2001.

    http://www.snopes.com/politic...

    I also found this:

    GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney similarly spent the day campaigning, fielding questions from small business owners, CNN Money reported. He, too, tweeted a message to honor those who fought, writing “thank you to those who stormed the beaches, took the cliffs and freed a continent. We should never forget #DDay.”

    On the rightwing reports, most say the president and first lady werefund raising, but one said hewasatthe theater. Which one of all those"lied"? I would rather believe he received badinformation than that he intentionally lied. Perhaps others would do better to check facts rather than simply believing everything put in front of them. It's so easy to accuss others when just about everyone does. I know i do if I think being truthful will help someone else when those feelings could be saved. I believe others do the same thing - some more than others.

    This isn't the Huffington Post where everyone gobbles up Liberal BS.

    You don't know any Conservatives who are voting for Obama, because no true Conservatives would ever support Obama's dreams of a socialist state and a big brother government that is bankrupting our country.

    If you can't stand on Obama's record with honesty and integrity, then you have proved what we already know: Obama is a failure and it is only by lying to yourself and others can you justify voting for him.

    Why don't you look at facts then? Look at GOP policies vs dem policies. Look at what has happened under the presidents watches, and see how they performed with what they faced. Look at it all... and pay attention. Last resort, do the ARITHMETIC!

    By your rules. How about telling him to QUIT apologizing for AMERICA. He has been in campaign mode for 3 years. He absolutley doesn't know how to govern.
  • Dana Bob S 2012/09/12 20:17:07

    Hmmmm... he admitted our country had made some mistakes.... that was when he first took office. And our country sure did make mistakes and those SHOULD have been acknowledged and apologized for my Bush. But he was too much of a coward to. So, Obama had to step up and try and make amends. Someone had to, and he as POTUS had to do this and I am sure he hated doing it for Bush. But again, it was necessary. How many INNOCENT people died because Bush got us into a war based on lies? How many soldiers from other countries jumped in to help us, because they believed Bush's lies? How many soldiers just from the UK alone lost their lives, because of mistakes made? Friendly fire killing them, from US... as in USA? How many soldiers in this world today are struggling to make it w/ severe head injuries, loss of limbs, massive scars from burns, etc... from a war, based on lies? You bet there were many apologies to be made. Too bad they are not enough to undo the damage that was done. What about Wall Street going nuts and the world economy collapsing? Who deregulated Wall Street so this could and did happen? GOP. Yes, many people across the USA and the world were hurt and worse because of Bush and his policies and you bet they deserved at the very least, an apology.
