I agree with your first statement. I have never found a party or politician whose entire platform I agree with, and will vote for the one I feel most likely to tackle the most pressing issues in a way that might resolve them effectively.
I really am not sufficiently informed to say whether Obama has performed well or badly. I too agree with his liberal aims, and that he has been trying to implement them in a huge economic downturn hasn't helped, but I can understand some people's disappointment in his term of office.
I agree absolutely that flaming Meat as homophobic and against women is complete nonsense. It would be laughable were it less ridiculous and offensive.
