snuss,
What in heavens name are you talking about? Can you give us an example of Democrats refusing to listen to reason?

There is a difference between “Liberals”, and the Liberal/Socialists currently running the DNC. You can reason with Liberals.

I’d like to know why “liberal” became a bad word in the first place.
After looking up the meaning in numerous dictionarys, I find myself proud to be generous, tolerant, broad minded, and in favor of progress (Websters New World Dictionary).
Obviously, I’m not afraid of being called a Liberal.

Barry tells us it’s a “false assumption” that most Americans support Obama. Barry’s evidence: “Most Americans didn’t vote. Also a lot of conservatives sat out the election.”

But, of course, Barry doesn’t know much about polls. He doesn’t know that no less than five of the major polls showing Obama with high approval ratings were conducted among adults in general, not just registered voters.

Now, this is where Barry probably will reply that polls are unreliable or fixed or something.

If so many people support him, why do you have to write a column trying to convince people that people support him?

Obama is a Marxist. As for the false assumption most Americans support him, Most Americans didn’t vote. Also a lot of conservatives sat out the election.

I have yet to hear someone say they wished they voted for Obama. I do however hear more and more people say they wished they DIDN’T vote for Obama.

Don’t forget other labels like “Socialist” and “weak”.

The attempt by the GOP to forget that President Obama was elected by a huge majority because the people *want* government to spend money–on our country, not Iraq–is humorous.

Apparently, snuss, “they” already got educated in 2006 and 2008 when “they” threw your party out of Congress and the White House, respectively, after being bamboozled by the Bush/Cheney cabal not once, but twice.

I sense a disparity of expression and awareness: when words and actions possess a significance that the audience understands, but the commenter does not.
