The above statement is not supported in any of your political comments. You greatly admire Obama who supports nothing fiscally conservative, anti big government or government interference in our lives. He is the exact opposite of each of those views. So how are you a moderate conservative?

You really are obsessed with throwing labels around, aren't you? What do you care what strangers call themselves politically?

(frankly, I think it's another superficial demonstration of how some self-professed "conservatives" like to control the lives of others)

You think in black and white. I don't. I think your assessment of Obama and our current politics scene simply wrong.

For example, the biggest government takeover threat in our lives right now is the GOP. The biggest fiscal irresponsibility demonstrated in the past 60 years is the GOP. The biggest threat to our national security and international stability is the GOP.

Yes, I admire Obama quite alot, I voted for him, I am very happy with his performance, I"ll vote for him again, and yes, he does some things I don't care for.

I never made the contention Obama is fiscally conservative. Yes, I am more fiscally conservative than Obama. Doesn't mean I still am not happy with him as President. I am. Very.

You dislike Obama, I do not. I'm not going to argue his administration with you. But to put it simply and most obviously, Obama and the Democrats are the ones protecting my freedoms, my health, my welfare as a citizen of this country; while the Republicans are the ones trying to take them away. You disagree. Good for you.

I am not talking about me or the GOP. I just don't understand how u can admire and support Obama when you supposidely believe in fiscal responsibility, smaller government and less government interference in our lives. If u actually believed in any of these things there is no way u could be happy with Obama.

Wow. You sure view things in a simplistic, black-and-white manner.

Bush? You are calling his fiscal policies conservative? How could anyone do that? Certainly Bush was far from conservative fiscal values to spend indiscriminately on the charge card, with no care to the future. He was a blatent spendthrift, and has harmed our country greatly with the execution of his fiscal policies.

I didnt say that I was happy with Bush.

But people who are happy with Obama should have also been happy with Bush. They are the same. Except for that black-and-white thing you pointed out.

Bush was in no way fiscally conservative, and Obama is even LESS fiscally conservative.

Basically you are a hypocrite. The only reason you love him is because he is not a registered republican.

I havent heard you criticize a democrat or praise a republican the entire time you've posted in the politics section. You are as partisan as can be.
