That's right. You want me to speculate about a single issue, while not considering other issues that you don't want to hear about. I'd rather just tell you what I think and let you tell me what you think. You want me to to tell you what you want to hear or to tell you what Joe-Bob thinks. I don't know and I don't care what you and Joe-Bob think when making my own decisions.

Then you admit that it is GDP growth and not the negative GDP of the republicans that Obama inherited. He turned it around.

Yet you ignore that we were losing 750,000 jobs a month when Obama took over and we're adding 100,000 to 300,000 jobs a month since then. Bush crashed the economy badly, the path out is much flatter.

I'm not affiliated! Independents do not engage in group think. It's why we are independents. I don't walk in lock step with any party politics. Not all independents are moderates either. Some are out there to the left of the Democrats and others to the right of the Republicans.

I don't vote for parties, I vote for pragmatic individuals with brains, not party hacks. I have voted for Democrats, Republicans, and Independents in national elections and local ones. And no I won't speculate on why all independents don't think alike.

You know nothing of moderates.

Another quip with no substance. You have pointed out yourself that Obama has pissed off the radical left. The Limbaugh/Fixnews spin machine has you enslaved. It is clear to unbiased observers that Obama, like he did last time and like Bill Clinton did, is catering to the middle, something no republican is doing.

Exactly. And have you noticed how much better Obama does when paired off against any of the real candidates?

Exactly. Obama is leaning to the center, not coddling the extreme left.

Black voters are just grumbling. How likely are they to vote for Bachmann or Perry? About zero.
