Look People, He's not without his faults, but Obama is STILL BETTER THAN ANY ONE of their guys... |
|
and I am growing increasingly frustrated over the constant, "Will so and so primary Obama?" NOOOOOOO. In fact, FUCK NO THEY WON'T.
You got it RIGHT HERE. you can QUOTE ME.
No, they will not primary him. Fuck no, they won't.
So maybe we could stop some of this and focus on making our Congressional Representatives reflect the Will of The People, instead of the bidding of the Corporations.

6. "Not as bad" is still setting the bar way too low, though |
|
We were supposed to be DONE with "lesser-evil" politics after 2008.

13. That's the only way for people who look at everything negatively |
|
Negative people must settle for what they can get in anything in life.
Negative people will never be happy, so they must choose the lesser of two evils in every situation.

He's intelligent, dignified and not on substance abuse. I agree that we need to focus on taking Congress back and on getting rid of the revolving door Reps and Senators who go from Congress to lobbyist and back to Congress again. Randi Rhodes opined that the reason they drink so much and are usually drunk by three in the afternoon (I'm sure she's exaggerating a bit) is because they know what they are doing for short term gain is destructive to the nation and it dulls their guilty consciences.

You can support a primary challenge and STILL work to make our reps represent the people.

8. If he caves on SS and Medicare, then he's not. |

Yeah, in the abstract he still is; but a traitor in the midst is worse than an open enemy.
