It''s just easier to classify/vilify all diferring though as the "other side".

In that way we shirk any responsibility for solving problems.

The fact is that so far Republican representatives and Senators have had more access to talk to Obama than they had over the last several years to GWB.

That''s a good thing.

My point is that it is not even a single spectrum that makes up philosophy and political stance.

Even Fiscal conservative may mean a classic conservative German banker who believes in regulatory protection (principles) to manage his bank to a neo-liberal capitalist who abandons all idea of regulation that may hinder the making of money.

You know a funny thing....

I have lunch withthree self-professed "conservatives" every Friday, while I am a self professed "liberal".

The curiosity is that all three of my friends are vastly different in philosophy: One is a social (anti-abortion/ pro-Christian) conservative, one is a 2nd Amendment adocate overall, and one is a neo-liberal capitalist.

On the other hand, they appreciate my opinion, but can''t understand why I''m liberal because liberal to them means a complete lack of sense or principle.

Not really, there are a lot of "Joe the plumber" "White-trash" types out there who have been brainwashed by their own parents'' racism, and the pundits on KNAZI, or WNAZI radio, to believe that Mr. Obama will take from them that which they don''t even possess, and even under a GOPig, could never hope to attain.

This bastar** is obviously out of his mind. Yeah, like this would really solve this country''''s massive problems! We need solutions to the mess Obama is inheriting not additional conflicts! I suggest they put this idiot (and others like him) in prison and throw away the key!

THEY are also VERY VERY STUPID!! It''s hard to figure if they just have NEVER read any of our history OR they lack the basic KNOWLEDGE of what or who a "LIBERAL" really is. The GREATEST Generation, the one''s who fought and won WW II were the MOST Liberal Generation since the FIRST one.

This is why allowing Limp-paugh, O''Reilly, Hannity, Coulter, and Savage to spread their Hate Talk to millions of their "limited" minions, is so dangerous to our country. Their form of "free speech" is equal to shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater because they specificallt target the most ignorant and Gun-Happy Americans.
