    When will this honeymoon with Obama end?

    Do you really think Abraham Lincoln was going to be so stupid as to free slaves in the border states still in the Union at a time where things weren't going so well for the Union? The Union would've still won in the end, but at a much greater price.

    ~~~The Official New Hampshire Primary Thread~~~

    Fair enough, I agree, people ought to be less condescending. Edit: Although, I do think you ought to lay down your anti-paul speech. It seems every post you write is an anti-paul post. Just ignore the paul supporters or make a thread about it instead of saying it in every single post you make.
