I've been very consistent, Ted. My type is that I hold people accountable and am largely immune to ideology of any stripe. I don't easily fit the stereotypes of GOP or Dem, although both sides accuse me of being for the other side. At the end of the day, I'll vote for the best candidate who seems most like to make progress on the issues I prioritize. If that person fails to deliver, then they will receive my online criticism on threads like these. That happened with Bush Jr and now it's happening with Obama. I think you thought I was a Democrat when I voted for Obama and now you think I'm a GOP member since I am criticizing him. You should really rethink this policy of so desperately wanting to categorize someone so that you can vilify and discredit them. I think it is silly and unproductive. I'd much rather have a debate on the issues, rather than on labels. I never thought you were a Dem. I have always thought you were more conservative than liberal and that voting for Obama was a bit of a quirk for you. Lately you seem to be getting more conservative. As for your talking points, I am just tired of hearing the same thing over and over again. Repetition can get boring. ;)
