What gave Barack Obama an overwhelming victory last Tuesday is that he is the leader of a party of INCLUSIION, whereas the conservatives are all about EXCLUSION.­.. exclude gays, exclude certain religious beliefs, exlude certain minorities, exclude a woman's right to chose, exclude stem cell research, and on and on. If you don't believe in this tiny little niche that the conservatives like to call "traditional values" then they don't want you. But what they fail to realize is the world is changing, the world is more accepting and INCLUSIVE. Even with different beliefs and opinions, Barack Obama leads an America that allows a rainbow of people to exist under one flag. For as long as the conservatives continue to try and go against that, they will fail.

He's been in a state of denial for years. He's still in a state of denial. He belongs to the Party of Corporate Welfare. He desperately wants to put that genie back in the bottle. It ain't happening. He needs to realize you can't have leaders, if you don't have a political party to belong to. One thing he does know. America does not tolerate corporate welfare.

I believe it was the immortal Nelson Muntz who said it best:
"Ha, ha!"

David it was all always one big fraud...do­n't you know that..?

A failure and perverse philosophy that flew in the face of human nature in many instances and denied the wisdom and greatest writings of those who inspired our Founding Fathers...

There should be a 12 Step Program for recovering "conservatives" who's numbers will be ever growing as the ether they have been under wears off...

Good luck with finding some new belief system to waste your life on supporting and obfuscating the truth and decency, to support David
