"why the hell are republicans still talking like they even deserve to look down on Obama? You lost that right putting up the world's biggest self-serving douchebag in office. I'm sure Obama won't do any worse."

I am a Republican; I did not put Bush in to office, despite your claim here.

What are you talking about? Nowhere did I say that. I specifically said in my post that I was directing my statements to people who voted for bush. The only mistake I see was in one of my earlier posts where I specified 'Republicans' which I should have initially changed to say people who voted for Bush. Nowhere did I say that people who don't like or didn't vote for Obama like/love Bush. Quit putting words in my mouth.

Hmm... I seem to remember when liberals got their panties in a twist (and rightly so, for what it's worth) over the "if you don't support Bush you're not patriotic" meme. But now, when the winds change, they change their tune to "if you don't support Obama you must love that miserable failure Bush". Don't liberals hate it when people stereotype?

I love double standards.

Fuck the two party system.

Seconded.

Third. Fuck the two party system. When one of the two parties decides to change their tune to being for smaller government and staying the fuck out of my personal life then I'll support them.

it's a shame Ron Paul didn't win. so far as i know he would have minimized the scope of govenment dramatically

"Its a shame Ron Paul didn't win"
Oh no its not. Libertarianism has a few good ideas that go towards increasing personal freedoms, but if ever fully enacted would quickly turn this country into a hellhole. The "free market" that magically fixes everything, is absolute horeshit. This isn't some wacky socialist idea either, Adam Smith himself would freely admit that.

Edit:

As bad as the 2 party system seems, the Green, Libertarian, and other parties seem like they don't even try. It's going to take a lot more that Bob Barr or Cynthia McKinney to get mainstream America excited about third parties. I can't really blame the major news outlets for those two chucklefucks.

Just a taste of Ron Paul would be way better than anything we'd had for the last 50 years. There used to be a time when the country was free and they've slowly chipped away at your freedom until you are so used to it that you freak out if someone tries to give it back. Social Security was a slow addicting drug that people eventually got hooked on and if they were to take it away, people would have withdrawal like a crack addict.

I love how old people are like hardcore conservative, xenophobic, etc... but boy do they cling to that social security.
