Are you going to sit there and state that you don't attack the right, that you don't defend the left consistantly? You sound like any pro-left news outlet. In this thread, alone, you said BO was a centrist. He's far from centrist. He's so far left, he makes Clinton look far right.
I will acknowledge that you called out TexRich for generalizing, but you don't sound like someone who is ready to take off the training wheels from the two-party paradigm. They, the politicians, have pushed us all into a corner and tell us either your with us, or your with them, to force you into a system that one of the 2 parties in power while dividing the country. While they have us fighting, or magicians misdirection, they are incrementally taking this country down a path that was never intended.
I stand on my own 2 feet and will not be told by partisan hacks that I have to vote any way that compromises my integrity. I will not vote for the lessor of 2 evils to satisfy "the establishment agenda." Voting for the lessor of the two is still voting for evil (in a general sense, not a religious one)

It may seem like I attack the Republicans more than the Democrats because right now the Republicans are in the midst of a leadership campaign that's making a lot of their weaknesses more visible. The Democrats, on the other hand, are sitting quietly DOING NOTHING while the country falls apart.
So, like you, I will not tow any party line. I think the Tea Party is comprised of a bunch of dummies with good intentions and I'm not shy about saying it. I think the OWS group is a bunch of troublemakers who don't give a shit about anything except causing a disturbance (met lots of those in University). Next month they'll be protesting about the amount of gluten in our bread. They love being protesters because if it weren't for that they'd have to realize that they are just your everyday losers looking for a hand-out instead of earning one.
Regarding Obama, ignore his words and look at his actions (they speak louder). He's pushing warmed-over Republican proposals. He's a bad-ass terrorist-killer. Pretty centrist *actions*, or maybe even right-leaning. If only he were stronger.
I think of myself as pretty far right, but don't equate that with support for the shit-for-brains Republicans. Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann, Rick Santorum, John BONER, etc., etc.. have all made it embarrassing to admit that one is a right-leaning American. It's almost like admitting that you're stupid. I'm the old-fashioned right that supports minimal government and fiscal conservatism, but that's where it ends. That should be the focus. Forget about the special interests like jesus, guns, and oil.
