To my way of thinking, it is you who is blind and clueless. You want so badly for them to have something and they don't. People are as fed up with them as they are with the Dems.

It is percisely that I have core values that I can vote independently. I had hoped that Obama would be a transformational President, but I think it is pretty clear now that he will merely be a transitional President. But that's okay.

You are frightened, and I understand that. You want to go back to what was comfortable for you. But those policies could not sustain themselves. As a country, we need to move forward, not backward. We need fresh ideas, and fresh leadership. Obama has tried, but he has not been successful. He's too much of a wonk, and he's not a charismatic leader. But I haven't seen a single GOP candidate (or Tea Partier for that matter) who can provide fresh leadership.
