I was never much of a supporter. I never bought his act. Hope and Change, my ass. My vote for him was really a vote against McCain, and that backwater cut rate brunette Barbie doll Palin.

Same here, tho I don't have quite the level of hostility toward Palin that many do.

History may prove me wrong, and it would be a welcome surprise if it did. However, as it stands, he has turned out to be a lying manipulative SOS when it comes to DADT and DOMA. It appears that he pandered to the homos, took the money, and is tossing us under the bus. Just like Clinton did.

That certainly seems to be the case. I wanted to like Obama - I really did. I held my nose and voted for him in large part because he seemed to be the lesser of two evils, re: gay issues (whether he was or not I'm no longer too sure about). Over the last year or so I've found myself becoming more of a social moderate, which Obama is not - yet he's a spineless jellyfish on the one social issue I'd like him to be progressive on. I have less and less patience with the "it's okay to kill your baby but gay people getting married is wrong" train of thought that is apparently the philosophy of the Democratic Party. I find myself wondering who I'm supposed to vote for now - neither the Dems or the Reps really reflect my convictions, nor do any of the "third parties" that I'm aware of.
Are we to keep holding our noses in the voting booth? At what point do you say "there's some **** I will not eat"?
