Face it - Obama has our number

[MannyGoldstein]

Whatever he does, he'll always suck less than a Republican, and we'll vote for him. He can throw turds at us with impunity.

I fucking hate it but its true. The bankers won on this one.

Good night.

1. You're right. If we're faced with a choice of the lesser of two

evils, I'll take the lesser. Even if I'd given up on Obama (which I haven't).

Goodnight, Manny. :hi:

[patrice]

2. We could use those turds to compost for what will feed and sustain us to fight another day for

what is NEXT!!!

4. The difference is

that the last time I voted without holding my nose (which doesn't get included in the totals), and we sent him money.

This time the nose (and money) will be (with)held.

5. of course.

The base always turns out to vote. That's why they can be safely ignored. The ones the politicians appeal to are the ignorant moderates, who only turn out if they feel like it.

11. I will say that this time that is a dangerous assumption for him to make.

The past is not always to predictor of future events, especially in tremulous times.
There is a line many of us will not cross. I will not vote for anyone who would enable the
destruction of SS and medicare under any guise or pretense.

It would be arrogant for Obama and his advisors to assume that they can abuse us repeatedly
and like an abused spouse we will not leave his side. This is a game that not only risks his
re-election, but risks the welfare of this country going forward, There is an irrationality in
his line of reasoning that I find jarring to say the least.

13. They Miscalculated In 2010 And I Think They Got Taken By Surprise........

and I believe that most of his base was still with him and the Dems in 2010. If he caves on this issue - he'll lose a big part of his base. People will justify it by sitting out the election and voting neither Dem or Repug. If a Repug gets elected they'll say - they didn't vote for him/her.

12. You insult the rest of the Democratic Party.

It's not Obama is any better than them. If he can't do the job we nominated him to do, he should not get the nomination.

14. Who's your challenger?

And what are the words that you'll hear that will convince you that they can do whatever you think the President hasn't been able to do?

If they haven't been POTUS, how will you know how they will govern once they're in the WH?

[great white snark]

15. Nobody would hold up to their new and improved since Obama took office standard.

And us "apologists" would get to do some vetting. It wouldn't be pretty.

[great white snark]

16. "He can throw turds at us." Like how monkeys throw feces, Manny?

Please inform the bankers that they won so they will stop bankrolling Republicans.

[blkmusclmachine]

17. They still count votes?

That's so...20th Century.

[jefferson_dem]

18. Everything this president does, he does because he hates you, Manny.

Please... This is getting sad.

[MannyGoldstein]

21. Everything this president does, he does for the 1%

The rest of us are merely collateral damage.

[Kahuna]

23. ...

:rofl:

[Big Blue Marble]

24. I am sure that Manny does not takes this personally.

Obama has shown open contempt for liberals more than once, if not directly, then through surrogates.
He finds us both irritating and troublesome, so emotional, you know.

He was happy enough to take our money and our votes, but other than that he is as they say,
he is just not that into us.

19. bingo

[Palmer Eldritch]

20. You're right about one thing, Obama will be reelected.

[Tom Rinaldo]

22. One thing that never can be faked is enthusiasm

Humphrey lost to Nixon because Democratic activists lacked sufficiententhusiam for him. It takes me one hour a year to vote Democratic. Obama will get my vote over the Republican in 2012. I've lost any enthusiasm for Obama anf there is no mental over ride for loss of all enthusiasm. People who share my feelings may want to pretned otherwise and force themselves to be active on Obama's behalf. All well and good, but it never is the same, never. Not even close.

25. My new bumper sticker.

"He'll always suck less than a Republican"

[tekisui]

26. Especially frustrating is that we all know (and he does too) that

he will be re-elected. Yet, he refuses to stand strong on Democratic principles. There is no reason at this stage of the game for him to be so complacent to repuke policies.
