I am not a moderate. My views are quite immoderate, in fact. Some are from the "right", some from the "left", some from the "center". There is no such thing as a liberal to conservative continuum, but instead a collection of unrelated issues. Yes, I spent a lot of time railing about Bush. I'm willing to go along with bashing Obama, too, but let's keep it real. Why do his detractors think they have to make up things in order to oppose him? Can't they just oppose him based on his policies? C'mon, let's bash that 3.6 trillion budget!

Yes, I voted for Mitt in the primary. He has more experience with bringing financially failing entities back into the black than any of them.

I can't prove a negative, so can't prove that Obama isn't a Communist. I can't prove he isn't the AntiChrist, or a Muslim terrorist, or any of the other things that he has been accused of being.
He is a big government statist, of course, as is McCain and Bush, and most of the others who were running.
We didn't have a choice of a real conservative, and haven't for some time now.
