At least they aren't basing their opposition on the bigoted notion that Romney is somehow "not American" and "not like us". She's an idiot, just of a different brand. Like I said in the other thread: see two devils, pick the one you dislike the least.

The reason I get more worked up over the conservative examples stems from the bigotry ("he's a muslim", "he's not like us", "he wasn't born here", etc, etc) used so often to attack Obama. Yes, I have a sore spot for that kind of shit.

Actually, a case could be made that he is anti-American and it has nothing to do with where he was or was not born, but rather his world-view.

The right-wing visceral hatred of Obama is outrageous. If anybody should be angry at him, it's the left-wing. Obama by global standards would be considered center-right. He governs as a moderate, and that his temperamental disposition as well. What are they so fucking angry about? As far as I see it, he's the only one making any concessions. He's given the right everything they want. They wanted to extend the Bush tax cuts, he gave it to them. They wanted to finish the fight in Iraq and Afghanistan, he gave it to them. They wanted to drill for domestic oil, and domestic oil production has increased under Obama. They wanted to keep the patriot act, he has kept it, they wanted to keep Guantanamo, he has kept it. They want a crackdown on illegal immigration, Obama has deported record numbers of illegals to the chagrin of the Hispanic community.

Other than abortion and gay marriage, what the the fuck is so left-wing about Obama?? The left has more reason to be angry at him than the right. Let's just be honest here, a lot of this shit has to do with the fact that he's black. It's undeniable.

Who gives two fucks about global standards?

There is plenty of room to the right of Obama.

Hell, some Republicans think Romney is too much of a moderate.
