40. That assumes our primary goal as been that of killing Bin Laden . . .
But that would be a rather silly assumption, now wouldn't it?

16. We must convert them, one at a time.
And no, giving them toasters doesn't work.

19. I've heard something similar
Office conservative: "I'm not an Obama supporter by any means, but he really did a bang-up job with this one."

22. wow, that's great
the only rightwingers that i know i associate with are on facebook and they weren't turning into obama fans last night. i responded with the quote from gw about how he doesn't pay attention to bin laden and my post was deleted.

it's so good to know that some republicans can still learn.

By design. I can't stand their delusional beliefs, irrational behaviors and criminal support.

29. Sometimes...
...as adults, you must associate with people of other mindsets.


I have several family members and coworkers that are republicans - they are mostly good people, just flying under a different flag.

26. Hopefully, the country will rally behind him and he will finally be
able to get something done.

At least for once he demonstrated the ability to carry through and not just decisive but tough.

Frankly, he never showed that before. Maybe he will get some respect now.

I sure hope so. Things cannot go on as they have been.

Let's end the Bush tax cuts. They are impoverishing the nation.

28. At least your republican friends aren't that far gone
some of mine are pissed that this will help Obama get reelected and are saying how he shouldn't get credit for this. Unbelievable. And they talk like they think we're all in agreement.

34. Clinton left office with a surplus,
by raising taxes (a little bit) on the wealthy and making corporations pay a minimum mandatory tax.



Does he think Clinton is awesome too?


After all, Repugs are (were) always trying to do 2 things... balance the budget and kill Bin Laden.
