Thank you.
By the way GR, Tattoo is spelled with 2 ‘O’s at the end.
Did Conservatives attack Obama before he got into office? No more than liberals did before Bush, or Reagan were elected. No more than the liberals did to Palin and yes even McCain.
Were ALL the attacks on Obama based on truth? No more than all the attacks on the Republicans. By the way, no, I do not consider all Republicans as Conservatives. Although to be honest, it does seem more Democrats are liberal than not. The only real difference I see in the Democrat party is either being ‘moderate liberal’ or very far left liberal.
But yeah, I also see a lot of liberal aspects in the Republicans as well. So ‘most’ Republicans do not seem to be that far behind.
But back to Obama. Remember, Obama tried to present himself as a ‘moderate liberal’ when running for president. Since he has been in office he has reigned as anything but ‘moderate’. And yeah, I use the term reigned deliberately. Because that seems to be the way he acts.
Many of us actually took Obama literally with his own words when he was campaigning. Not to mention, many of us decided not to simply ‘excuse’ his obvious radical ties with some of his extreme radical friends and associates before he ever got into office.
An old adage that I heard from my Parents and even my Grandparents, about ’show me your friends and I’ll show you your future’ is still applicable today.
There is way too much evidence of Obama’s radical past to bother rehashing it here. His choices of radical ‘Czars’ and ‘Advisors’ within the White House, with very questionable beliefs and views, is not much different than his past ‘friends and associates’.
Is there a reason WHY those radical ties to Obama should not have been attacked? Is there a reason why his own statements, both on the campaign trail, as well as well before, should not be scrutinized and even attacked.
Seems those very same ‘ideals’ for attacking people were used to severely attack people like Sarah Palin. Similar attacks were even used against innocent people like Joe the Plumber.
It does seem that liberals want a ‘level playing field’ when it comes to redistribution of wealth, healthcare, payroll salary caps, cap and tax, stealing from those who have to give to those too lazy to work for it themselves; but when it comes to let’s say, free speech, the liberals do not want a ‘level playing field’ at all.
Liberals, it appears, want the ability to speak out for Obama’s agenda, and to destroy anyone who does not believe in Obama’s radical agendas. And yet those same liberals do not want Conservatives to be free to speak their own mind or voice their objections to the direction of this Country or Obama’s liberal agenda.
If as a liberal you or whoever, want the right and ability to attack people for their Conservative views and agenda, like what was done to Palin, then you have to accept that the Conservatives have the same right to attack Obama and his liberal agenda. Which evidence shows is far worse than he showed during the actual campaigning for President.

Tatto Gypsy,First, Thanks for your service to this great country, Although I’m proud to be a Democrat I didn’t vote for Obama nor McCain but I remember the Conservatives attacking Obama before he even got in office, probably because they don’t know the facts right?
I hear about your website on FOX NEWS the ONLY NEWS worth watching & I am afraid that the obama administration & the democratic congress WOULD DAMAGE THE GREAT UNITED STATE OF AMERICA
One thing I have noticed about most liberals, is that when they cannot discuss or even argue a point of fact, they start in with the personal attacks.
Wonder when they are gonna grow up?
(Probably about the same time they actually grow a pair I guess. BTW, that is not a ‘personal attack’ but simply an observation)

Tom: “…go back to doing whatever you were doing before and instead of finding fault in a President, pitch in to help him clean up their (your dad and Mr. Bush) mess. It a big one.”
If only you had the same urgency when President Bush was villified during every day of his Presidency. With Bush, it was – TEAR HIM DOWN; DESTROY HIM. It was perfectly fine and patriotic to do that. With Obama, well, don’t even think of disagreeing with his Marxist Agenda. If you do, you are – RACIST. Or as Tom suggests – “pitch in” to help him turn America into the Socialist Utopia.
If President Bush created a big mess, Obama has surpassed Bush – created an even bigger mess! CONGRATULATIONS to Obama – his DEFICIT “outshines” Bush’s deficit! Remember the lambasting Bush received for the deficit, from the Democrats? Yet the Democrats have piled on the deficit.
As for the rest of the Liberal bloggers here, I agree with Ed – state your facts, and argue on substantive points – be it economic policies, or foreign policy. List your substantive arguments. NAME CALLING is a clear indication of being bereft of any logical reasoning – well enough to write out fully in blog. Does calling another blogger, like LOSER, as GR Greene did, somehow validate what he said – and what substantive point did Greene make? NONE.
Oh well Ed, all talk ,you must have been one of those stupid republicians that was stupid enough to have voted for Bush & Cheney twice ??? ddddaaaaaaaaaaa, no wonder this country is in such a mess with all the rightwing fruitcakes out there, give us a break, we had 8 years of torture in this country with those two clowns. Thank God they’re gone !
Shame on You Liz Cheney
You need to keep your mouth shut, don’t be a loser like Dad. They are out and it was the longest 8 years of hell that this county is still suffering from.
The Cheney’s shouldn’t say a word, after all it was on those idiots watch that 911 happened on, so how safe did they keep all those Americans on 9/11/2001? Butt out Liz you can’t change the fact that your worthless father was a complete war profiterrist and a war mongral piece of S***
And second of all (w) does stand for Worthless, What Bush and Cheney did to this country they should hang their heads in shame, glad their out of there.
P.S. WMD?????????????????????????????????????????
The Cheneys only know fear and hate. Try doing something positive.
President Obama should be ashamed of himself.
For the better part of 2 years when campaigned on the issue that the ‘real war’ was in Afghanistan. And now that his own hand-picked General is stating he needs MORE troops or we may very well end up losing that war, NOW he wants to take his own sweet-azz time.
For the past 10 months I have listened to Obama claim this, that and the other had to be done in a hurry. Gotta be done right this minute or everything will fail. Healthcare, the stimulus, ad nausem.
Now that it comes to something that really NEEDS to be done and done now, NOW Obama wants to sit on his hands and let our Military get killed while he tries to make a decision.
Mr. Obama, with all due respect for the office you hold, get off your lame azz and do something.
Either support our troops, give your General the troops he needs to win this war, or bring our boys home.
This has already become about a spit away from turning into another Vietnam. And if it does Sir, it will be on YOUR watch, not President Bush’s.
Liz Cheney,
Your father and his counter part the former President Bush have done just about enough for this country, a war in Irag that turned out to be useless and not needed. Trillions of dollars to wage that war and the lose of life that was sacrificed. They bailed out on Afganistan and now the Taliban is back in action. Civil liberties had been abused in the name of security. On the home front, their failure to regulate banking, the markets and insurance companies helped to create one of the worst economic enviroments this country has seen in a long time. And all in the name of GREED for the choosen few. From my perspective, go back to doing whatever you were doing before and instead of finding fault in a President, pitch in to help him clean up their (your dad and Mr. Bush) mess. It a big one.
If we’d gone to Afghanistan instead of Iraq, where the Taliban and Al-Qaeda were, we’d have them by now. The only thing going to Iraq did was letting Bush have revenge for his daddy, while US soldiers died. Why is the Republicans first instinct to go to war? If we have to, which should be a last resort, why not go to where the enemy is? Why can’t peace be a consideration?
The video is a good example of how not to lead a nation. Obama needs to understand the word integrity, when you give your word to someone you keep it. Tossing over Eastern Europe in hopes of getting Russian help with Iran is really just a hope. The change is that its now harder to be Americas friend than it is her enemy. All the Noble Prizes in the world won’t restore faith in Americas word. Watching people get shot in the street and remaining silent is no way to win friends. Not supporting our troops in the field should be a criminal offense. You can debate about sending them, but once there they deserve our support, if we don’t have a plan, bring them home, loosing people while Obama panders for health care and a Nobel Prize is pathetic.
With you all the way. Our nephew was killed in Afghanistan; he was buried, in Arlington, last week.
Obama should be concerned first and foremost with the safety of our troops. Iying their hands is creating another Vietnam and is destined to kill more of these brave young Americans. Our troops are trained to kill and destroy. Providing mosque sanctuaries endangers our kids. The Taliban and al Quaida hide among the populace. patrolling with afghan police and so called security forces has gotten our kids killed. Turn our troops lose to do their job of protecting us by killing them or let the word “impeach” be uttered by every freedom loving and seeking American. Obama’s taken an oath to preserve and protect, seems to me he’s violating that oath.
Water Boarding 3 terrorists…. After being assured that it wouldn’t kill them. (something that many in our Military go through as part of their training). And putting a caterpillar in 1 terrorists cell….. Hmmmmm. Yeah, that’s not exactly torture dude… Especially when numerous of American lives were saved by doing so! Get over it!
How can Cheney, an author of America’s once and let’s hope only descent to torture, speak to human rights? Indeed, the US as a nation is handicapped in addressing human rights abroad until it effectively investigates what was done under Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld. Where we have always led, for a period of time we failed.
