They have said that his new track will change and that after he is sworn in he'll start doing what they want him to do. They do not seem to want to buy my bridges though. Let's not under estimate exactly how willing people are to potentially delude themselves. I talk with folks who support Obama.

From the very beginning, the “big” problem Liberals had with Bush was when he was Governor of Texas, and the “excessive” capital punishment he oversaw. Never mind Bill Clinton as Governor of Arkansas wouldn’t spare a retarded man on death row, or that Al Gore also supported the death penalty. We didn’t hear a peep about their “blood lust”, only Bush’s. At the end of the day, Liberals didn’t really care, they just wanted to portray Bush as some sort of monster.

What about the “illegal” Iraq war Bush waged. What about the war in Kosovo and Bosnia that Clinton waged. Liberals were completely silent. Had a Democrat President invaded Iraq, there would have been a much broader base of support from the same Liberal doves and MSM.

The list goes on and on.

What Liberals really want more than anything is to win, they have no principles. If Obama carries over a lot of Bush’s “awful” policies, most liberals will still send him money and volunteer.

As long as they’re winning elections, most Liberals don’t find any reason to become unhinged. That’s what is ultimately most important to them.
