A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, “You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.”
She rolled her eyes and said, “You must be a Republican.”
“I am,” replied the man. “How did you know?”
“Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me.”
The man smiled and responded, “You must be a Democrat.”
“I am,” replied the balloonist. “How did you know?”
“Well,” said the man, “you don’t know where you are or where you’re going. You’ve risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met but, somehow, now it’s my fault.”

I love your little story, but there is not much truth, the story should have been with the man in the boat with a bow and arrow, always shooting at the balloon trying to destroy the democrat, because generally the republicans in office don't care for people that are in need. The one in the hot air balloon should have never asked a republican for directions, because everything that seems to come out of their mouth is a lie, now I am talking about the elected officials, not the ones that voted for them, they did not know any better, because they only listen to a drug addict like Rush or Fox news. The man in the boat, should realize that it is their fault for getting our country in the mess it is in. For 8 long years Bush destroyed America in every way, and somehow the republicans think that our President is a miracle worker and he can straighten it out in less than two years.
There is one more idea here, we are not in the same position as we were in two years ago, we are coming up out of the mess, even if it has been a fight. Just wait until the T-pot gets started up in January, then it will be interesting to see the three way fight.....very interesting.

SS - I love the way that you paint everyone with a very broad brush. Let me ask how you justify the Democrats stand on abortion and gay marriage?
Both parties care more about power and politics than anything.
Each one is about equally corrupt.
However, at least one gives lip service to morality issues.

Is that a good thing? I personally find it to be terribly offensive, condescending, manipulative, and incredibly demeaning to the sanctity of human life.

Consider the context.
My stance is that abortion is wrong, homosexuality is wrong and if none would work, neither should he eat.
One party says that I am correct.
One party says that I am incorrect.
You consider this offensive, condescending, manipulative and demeaning?

This should not be a discussion about stances and theoretical positioning. This is no hypothetical situation. Saying that abortion is murder and making it a major discussion point during election cycle...then not passionately doing everything in your power to stop it is all of those things.
I've asked it before and I'll ask it again.
Person A says that they sincerely do not believe abortion is murder legally or morally and they will therefore not do everything in their power to stop it.
Person B says that abortion is murder...but they do not do everything in their power to stop it.
Which person is more reprehensible? Meanwhile millions of babies are killed either way.
I do not wish to climb into this whole rabbit hole again...That one line just got my attention.

Obama will pay mortgage and gas.
Gas has doubled in cost and he pays neither.

It is true. With an all dem Congress and a Dem in the whitehouse, they do not care about the needy. Foreclosures are way up and unemployment skyrocketed because we discovered the Dems do not care. They must hate the needy.
How about it Obama ? Send your brother in Kenya 20 bucks.

Destroyed America in every way.
At one point Bush had 52 consecutive months of employment growth.
You call that destruction. Remember you said in "every way"
Obama has been a jobs destroyer. Except for the lousy census. It was artificial and temporary job growth.
Obama has seen more job growth in foreign countries for American companies than here? Why is that?
