I, right now, begrudge him every penny I sent, not that it was that
much, but I could have gotten more than a fucking car magnet out of it. Our masters have spoken. Fuck it. I'm through.

4. Buh-bye.
Hopefully, you'll come back soon. After all, he is not the enemy...even though others want to tell you he is.

5. See ya when you come back...
You really have no where else to go.

It is either our imperfect Democrats or outright horrible Republicans. Lesser of two evils? Maybe. Still, you have no other choice but to keep fighting and try to push the Democratic party in the direction you wish for it to go.

So take a break, make some time to smell the roses, and then come back ready to fight even harder.

7. Nonsense
He and millions like him in the midterm, will stay home in 2012. The democratic party with Obama at its head will get an historic ass whipping.

9. And "he and millions like him" will learn a hard and painful lesson. Then they'll be back in 2016
Edited on Tue Dec-07-10 01:36 AM by BzaDem
working the polls for Ben Nelson if that's the only way to remove the Republican.

You can't run from reality forever. It's how we evolved. You can only inflict so much pain upon yourself before you suddenly become rational.

11. You need to get out more
People run from reality their entire lives. Rationality is the exception not the rule. Plenty of people make stupid decisions over and over ad nauseam that end up destroying them.

People need to be led. When leadership abdicates, then evil takes control, and the cycle of destruction kicks into high gear.

15. I'll still vote, and I'll never vote for a Repuke. I just won't labor
under the delusion that it makes a pinch of shit's difference. I changed my profile last night and I hope to stick to it.

6. bye! don't forget to clean up your shit before you leave.
:cry:

I'm so sorry for your deep felt hurt and disappointment that unemployment benefits have been extended to so many people in need. I know that you think the rich buying another car or ordering larks tongue in aspic is the far more important issue here.

12. after he voted for FISA (before the election) ...
I started giving the money I'd budgeted to Obama to the ACLU and the EFF.

Sad but true.

13. Wow, someone whose memory holds more than five minutes of history.
I thought I was the only one who remembered FISA.

14. FISA was a big wakeup call for me
and the first (of many) broken campaign promises that somehow continues to sting. I keep hoping he'll wake up and do the right thing.

16. guess you're not unemployed in fear of losing your home/children.
If you have any pennies left, you might want to consider dropping them in the red SA bucket as you go into the grocery store because you can afford groceries.

Obama apparently understands and wants to protect the people who can't right now - through no fault of their own - at the risk of being unpopular.

We rail the GOP for their cement-headed stances, yet it seems many doing the railing are just as stubborn and willing to discard those who Obama refused to today...

I don't understand that. I really don't.

17. did you think you were buying somone? I gave freely, not as much
as many people I know, but to me it was alot.

I don't "give" with strings. Maybe YOU do. But if so, it is not GIVING it's BUYING.


:thumbsdown:
