This above statement is a great example of how, in America, we tend to call the kettle black, and then prove we are the pot and just the same. The entire second half of this letter promotes the same fear mongering propaganda against the Republican candidate as the writer announces disgust toward Republicans for doing that very thing against Obama. As a case and point, for many years now moveon.org has been leading the market on fear mongering politics for a very long time now and spread the same rhetoric as the Obama campaign did against John McCain. I find the entire negative campaign approach from both sides disgusting, but I find the self-righteous Democrat revisionist fear mongering and then lying about it (or maybe it is just ignorance and not intentional fear-mongering) to be laughable. The fact is that Obama has now become president and he will be crusified by the same public for, in the end, being no more than a common politician. Anyone out looking for something more will have their hopes dashed. Anyone who is able to be reasonable and analytical and patient will find that this president will mess up like the rest, do good like the rest, and we will need govern their power as we have every American president. Time to be real. To answer your question: How could we trust them in the White House? The answer is... we can't.... not one of them. We have to watch them like hawks and when they do our beloved country harm, it is our duty to not be super-fans but to deal with them in every appropriate way that we can. Even though the election is done, and you take off your voters hat, it is time to put on the hat of citizen and remember this is a government by and for the people and you job is just beginning.

Whenever the (ALLEGED) right uses old axioms to emphasize their statements they are completely blind to the magnitude of what is being debated in madison. They point at this Democratic debacle & that Democratic debacle & maybe so, but nothing the Democrats have ever done has so completely and utterly gone against every grain of what America's always been about as this bill.

Even the name of this country, the UNITED STATES of AMERICA points to the FACT we are a UNION of STATES UNITED as ONE.  If we pass this bill does that declare open season on THIS UNION?  Technically speaking, it might. And having done well in History class I am not waiting for this egg to hatch. We've seen this before in the mid 20th century and once was enough. I know this sounds extreme but every piece of the puzzle is in place, the poor economy, the fanatical movements (which themselves ARE a special interest, or is the Tea party movement not a special interest group?) hate mongering and propaganda. (thank you Cult, er club for growth for those near WW2 nazi propaganda blame ads. Has someone sued you yet?) 

In all seriousness, after everything I have seen and heard the GOP has no right to call itself the right anymore. It's Unamerican agenda should see it's license to be a party revoked. There is NOTHING CONSERVATIVE about attacking AMERICANS. This GOP is filled with yahoos and weirdos and it's time someone did something about it.  It's YOUR FUTURE, when you betray ideals you give up everything.

I don't care if Oscar the Grouch runs with Luke Skywalker in the next election, I am voting DEM all across the board.  NEVER, should we allow the sort of freakish anti american happenings we've seen with our own eyes from our own Capitol.

My mother in law ripped her Scott Walker bumper sticker off of her car.  I believe she is in the majority.
