Liquid courage?

You know, I always hear our resident Conservatives asking, “Why isn’t Obama running on his record?”
Okay, why are the Republicans running on THIS, instead of their records?

Is it because the truth and the record, if known and understood, would be terrible. Seems mittens and crew have accepted millions of tax payer dollars, but want to make sure others don’t, see NY Times article 5/27/12.

“Why won’t Obama show the birth certificate?” Well, because every time one of you birther nitwits gets in front of an open mic, you make the rest of the GOP look another 5 IQ points dumber. Why would Obama ever want you to go away?

You ever seen a lib abstain from spouting “tax cuts for the rich”, “you just hate him because he’s black”, or “Koch”? You need a lead shield to protect you from that withdrawal

And the Repubs aren’t proposing tax cuts for the rich? And Koch isn’t backing the party of No? You see, the big difference is what you say about Obama isn’t true. What we say about the 1% club is.

I have always wondered about the whole “He’s a Muslim” thing from the Cons. Even if Obama has some members of his family that were Muslims- So What?
Is there a single thing in the U.S. Constitution that forbids a Muslim from being elected President?
NO!
Just because a very small minority of Muslims worldwide are Radicals, that means no more then the fact that a very small minority of Southern Baptists are members of the Klan, or White Supremacist Neo-Nazi Groups!
Should ALL Baptists be banned from running for President then?
Should ALL Catholics be banned since a very small minority of Priests have been accused of Child Molestation?
By the way, I believe that Hitler was Catholic. Just something to consider.
As for the whole “Birther” Hogwash,-That “Dead Horse” has been beaten into Dog Food!
Give it up, people.
Every time Sheriff Joe and his pack of crazies open their mouths and start spouting off their nonsense, the rest of us just sit back and laugh at them!

Actually, “tax cuts for the rich” IS a platform issue. And no, only Conservatives shout about the black issue. And I hear “Koch” about as often as I hear “Buffett.”

The differance here is that those are all valid, real problems. Tax cuts to the rich won’t work unless you’re rich. He is hated because of his race. And the Koch Brothers are trying to use their vast wealth to buy an election. That’s why there should be limits on donations.

who needs that? All you have to do is point out the guys radical past. From smoking and blow to hanging out with terrorist.
And it is funny that they guy once let himself be marketed as being born in Kenya. And his own Rev Wright is on tape telling us how Obama was made “comfortable” with his Islamic Muslim background.
Why are liberals so afraid of the truth? I thought they loved these rehab stories or triumph and over comings.
