Never said it did, only that I couldn't comment

don't even come in here pretending you're some sort of middle of the road guy. I'm a leftist and would recognize liberal thought coming from you. I've seen ZERO. YOU ARE AS RIGHT WING AS THEY COME. WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE SMART ENOUGH TO EVEN KNOW WHAT RIGHT WING POLITICS EVEN MEAN. IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE YOUR POLITICAL STANCES

I'm a strong supporter of separation of church and state, and equality of it's citizens, to the point where things like the NAACP or any group that is based on race is wrong

the clinton years wasn't a balance of liberalism and conservatism. lol shit if anything it was a shift in many ways away from liberalism
nafta, welfare reform.. these things ring a bell? hardly leftist actions.

Welfare reform was needed, it was a run away bus and NAFTA, I've spoke out against NAFTA on several occasions, I believe in free trade and having NAFTA ties the hands of free trade because it puts the American employers up against the cheap labor of countries like Mexico and China

How is that Obama's fault? He isn't the one pushing the race issue. people like yourself are. And I highly disagree more people more people are talking about racism. racism has ALWAYS been a major issue in this country and I feel the racisms issue used to be way worse.

I don't understand racism, I was never around it as a kid, growing up in a small town with a lot of Mexicans for friends and learning some Spanish in the 6th grade. Michelle Obama speaking at the NAACP and the next day, the NAACP calling out the Tea Party as racist, the whole democratic party calling them racist as a way to discredit them. Obama as the head of the democratic party should have said something.
Obama's constant using the power of the democratic held house and senate to get things passed and disregarding anything asked from the GOP and then making fun of them after he got what he wanted, that's what I meant about being a divider, he's polarized the nation in things like that.
Obama praised getting the pass and go passed
Yet he called the GOP the party of NO when the GOP wanted the Unemployment funded, thats an example

This I feel is a result of the repeal of the fairness doctrine. Now we have television and radio media being polarized politically more or less TELLING people what to think politically. It's become an op-ed commentary circus and will only continue to polarize the political landscape further.

the Fairness doctrine would have put the FCC in charge of the news, I don't think that's the way to go. Until FOX news came around, all news outlets were liberal, it gave the liberals in office an unfair advantage by always reporting in their favor and left out news that was unfavorable. The fairness doctrine was brought out by the democrats because of people like Rush Limbaugh. You probably don't like him, I don't listen to him, but Obama's signature is on a letter asking that his employer take him off the air. Now with Fox news, we get both sides, I watch ABC in the morning and Fox in the evening,and I read online for my news.
Obama tried to censor Fox news, did not invite them to news conferences, wouldn't give interviews to them, he changed later from pressure from other news agencies, this is what polarizes the nation
