Liberals and progressives used to always complain when BUSH was the president.
Wiretapping this...expanding the powers of the president.
Funding a war outside the budget through supplementals.
Letting terrorist attack us.
So.... Where are the progressives now?
OBAMA just appointed a BORDER CZAR...like we need another level of in- competence upstaging written US law.
He LIKES wire tapping now..so it MUST BE COOL WITH YOU.
YES the troops will stay longer than a year .and funded with supplementals.
Hillary calls for a UN meeting to end PIRATES.. HINT..follow AMERICAN DOCTRINE set forth by past Presidents and KILL THEM.
I guess the world doesn't LOVE US any better since...PIRATES have called us enemy#1 DANG,I thought electing OBAMA solved all that.
So what do progressives complain about now.?
That's easy.
Conservatives and any rally they might hold. Guns..Gay rights. anything anti- conservative.
INSTEAD of knowing that a progressive always looks inward as well as out ward trying to effect positive change.
Only one thing worst than being a liberal progressive....
That's being a hypocrite and wrong on issues.

WASHINGTON (AFP) – US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle made 2.65 million dollars in 2008, mostly from royalties of his two best-selling books, the White House said Wednesday.
The Obamas and Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill released their tax returns on the April 15 deadline for Americans to file their 2008 income tax documents.
In their joint return, the president and his wife declared an adjusted gross income of 2,656,902 dollars and paid 855,323 dollars in federal income tax, as well as 77,883 dollars in Illinois state income taxes.
The White House said that the Obamas reported donating 172,050 dollars to 37 charities, equivalent to about 6.5 percent of their adjusted gross income.
and you went after Mccain and his wife for being rich..
I wonder how much the Palins made last year?
Caution sheep this is a trap..I am going to set it and you will walk right into ...

The only past precident I can think of is Barbary Wars, which concluded the action against the Barbary Pirates with ... [gasp!] a peace treaty.
OMG! Adams and Jefferson were bleeding heart Progressive Commie-simp socialist liberals!

McCain out of touch? That's rich...especially when he called the troop surge correctly and the results the liberal..progressive opposition said was a LOST CAUSE. Out of touch? .. saying PORK was BAD and no funding should go on a bill without a hearing on its merits. Mike G cant remember the Pirates on our own shores...early on..HUNG...we didn't need no President or precedent to tell us what to do with terrorist..(which is what a PIRATE really is...) R is RIGHT.. But wrong... They do complain all the time...and I do hear...but they only ATTACK THOSE OPPOSED TO THEIR views..which is not progressive at all..in fact the opposite. They are GUILTY of being the same as conservatives...locked into one mindset...everyone else is wrong. I am just WRONG.... less often. ANY ideas of what OBAMAS made in 2007? Before he was a PRESIDENT ..just a low life freshman Illinois Senator? OVER 4.1 MILLION and I 'll be TESTING YOUR MATH SKILLS ON THIS ONE.. Get your calculators ready. The guy is a fraud.

When you don't know how many houses you own, then that sort of tops Bush 41 not knowing how a supermarket scanner works or what the cost of a gallon of milk was. The later "explanation" about his houses versus his wife's house was a bunch of BS. p.s. McCain made over 7 million each of the last two years and 2007 was another extraordinary year for Obama's book sales. So what? The point was McCain's total befuddlement with life in the US when not an Admiral's son or married to really, really big money (yes, I classify a fortune in excess of $100,000,000 as really, really big money).

McCain chose Sarah Palin as his running mate. Do we need any other proof that his decision-making is suspect?

To be serious, I think one thing that basically blew any chance for McCain was his "The fundamentals of the economy are strong" claim two days before the economy collapsed.
When I think of "out of touch" for McCain it's not about common folk or poor people, it is more about reality.

Progressives complain because they think things can always be better.
Conservatives complain because they think things should always be the way they used to be.
