<<And how can you continue to support Obama if he signs that law? It is literally against everything you and I believe in.>>

It is real simple, there is no other practical choice and it is just the part of him that is center right that I don't like and most of his policies are center left. As well, Obama is a Dem, and the Dems are where what sanity is left in this country live. There are many sound intelligent honest Dems in congress (mostly women-lol).

So as a Dem, Obama has to follow the Democratic policy to a large degree e.g. his two supreme court nominee's were just fine. Obama is surrounded by great Dems. He got rid of Summers and put in Krueger. Kruger is a fine economist. And most of the people around Obama are just fine. I love Susan Rice and Hillary Clinton. Newt would put in that crazy ass John Bolton; and both Newt and Romney would bomb Iran, which is crazy.

And Ron Paul would get rid of the Departments of Education, Energy and Environmental conservativon, and medicare and social security, which is crazy. I guess he never read Lord of the Flies when young, as his is a recipe that would put this country on the path to anarchy.

Half the country is at or below the poverty level. Ron Paul would make it even worse as he is a Randian survival of the fitest disciple.

The Democratic party is the body that will fight the encrouching fascism, plutocracy and injustice. That is the army we need to join, hand in hand.
