That to me sounds as if he is trying to become W jr. He may have been moderate, but we can all see how that has changed as of the election.
You act as if politicians never change their stance in order to gain favor within their own party. Obama has done it often this election. Taking bits and pieces from Hillary Clinton.

If you know anything about politics then you know that come presidential election time that a number of politician will change their stance/flip flop. If you can't win your party over then you definitely won't become the next president of the united states. That doesn't mean that they will continue to hold these stances. It's a momentary thing.. whatever it takes to get elected and it happens on both sides of the isle.

As for unity, when you can unite a country against an illegal war, political corruption (even if he is a little corrupt himself), health care, governmental reform, green energy and reducing our dependance on oil (not just foreign), and it all happens to be the opposite of what the other side is saying, what would you do? The current republican views are what got us into the situation, and I have a hard time voting (or even liking) a person so willing to immitate them, and find myself drawn to the person that shares my disgust with our countries current direction, and wants to change it.
When was this war illegal? It was passed by both major parties and we still had an executive order open from the first Bush that allowed us to go into Iraq. Really congressional approval was never needed.. even then it still passed.

As far as healthcare.. maybe you haven't seen the healthcare plan that Mccain has proposed. Really Obama's plan and McCain's plan have many benefits/features that overlap with each other. Go read up.

Really? The republicans got us into this mess?

hrm.. that's interesting because:


On October 11, 2002, the United States Senate voted 77-23 in favor of Joint Resolution 114 â?? the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002.

It takes two to tango. Open up your eyes. The Dems are just as guilty as the next guy.

At least the republicans don't tell me someone else is entitled to my paycheck :wtf: Beyond that both parties are the same. They just go about accomplishing their corrupt goals in different ways.

Also your precious democrats also supported the opening of Guantanamo bay as well as our involvement into going to afghanistan.

Up until the last two years Bush's approval rating have been above 60%.

With that said, I don't like bush, have never liked Bush... however I won't be blind to the fact that it was not just him that pushed all the buttons to make this happen.

All politicians are the same. They're all rich.. and they're all out of touch. The point I was trying to make is that you're bias to republicans for the wrong reasons. You're biased because of your assumption that Republicans are responsible for all that is wrong in this country. The democrats are equally responsible and can be shown if you go look at facts and voting records.
