If the election were held tomorrow, I would vote for Obama.

[LoZoccolo]

[proud patriot]

1. yep

[Skittles]

2. WE GET IT

there's nothing Obama can do to make you see reality - WE FUCKING GET IT

[LoZoccolo]

5. You sound like you're angry at me.

[Skittles]

10. WAKE THE FUCK UP

demand MORE from Obama for your support - if you're satisfied with this it SUCKS

[LoZoccolo]

13. I just don't see why I should vote for Bachmann.

[Skittles]

17. WAKE UP!!!! WAKE UP!!!! WAKE THE FUCK UP!!! SNAP OUT OF IT!!!!!

[LoZoccolo]

19. I don't know that much about her, really?

[Electric Monk]

21. You are not Socrates. You fail horribly when you try to be.

[LoZoccolo]

25. My philosopher name is Sucrets, like the cough drops.

[Electric Monk]

27. Then what's your porn name?

Since we're being so serious, and all....

[Unvanguard]

3. Me too, and I will in 2012. Doesn't excuse his indefensible handling of the debt ceiling. n/t

[LynneSin]

4. If the general election were held tomorrow I would gladly vote for the Democratic nominee

I'm thinking it's about 99% Obama and I'll even go out and campaign for Obama in the fall elections. But I want to be on record stating that I am a democrat and if someone should challenge Obama in the primaries and win - I would be out there working hard to make sure he/she was elected.

I'm about 75% for voting for Obama in the primaries - I'll consider my options but that's what the primaries are for.

6. If the election were held on Friday but Obama cut SS and Medicare Thursday,

while making the tax break for the rich permanent, then how would you vote?

[LoZoccolo]

7. I'd vote for Obama.

[white_wolf]

11. No suprise there,

You seem firmly committed to following the Third Way DLC path to corporate slavery, just like Obama.

[dflprincess]

39. Except Obama, like Clinton, wll be well rewarded for following the Third Way & selling us out

Most of those who support him regardless of what he does, do not. Go figure.

[joshcryer]

15. Wait, let's see how far this will go. If your entire family was arrested with the Patiot Act...

...and all of your assets frozen, your home taken away, any pets you have euthanasized, with direct evidence that Obama personally ordered the hit, what would you do?

[gkhouston]

18. Baby eating. You left out live baby eating.

:rofl:

[LoZoccolo]

20. Obama would still be the #1 superstar of my vote.

[joshcryer]

22. Fair enough.

Wow.

[gkhouston]

24. ...

[louslobbs]

28. Wow is right josh.

[Dept of Beer]

36. And if he were to barbecue a family on live TV?

[Unvanguard]

26. I'd vote for Obama.

Knowing that if Bachmann won instead, we'd get the Ryan plan and more tax cuts for the rich instead.

It's a relative comparison.

[LooseWilly]

34. Uhh... Obama has extended tax cuts for rich and is now also willing to "trim" medicare... just FYI

Ryan plan calls for voucherizing medicare, Obama negotiations call for "trimming" medicare.

Bachman would push for tax cuts for the rich, Obama has already extended tax cuts for the rich once and may (for all we know) be willing to do so again in the current negotiations.

It is indeed a "relative comparison". Specifically, it's an "=" relationship.

Maybe you should settle for pointing out that Obama has a better-shaped head and less of the spooky-cosmetic-surgery look, and base your vote on that?

[Unvanguard]

35. Your analysis of the political situation is drastically different from mine. n/t

[LooseWilly]

42. And mine also includes substantiation to support conclusions, unlike yours.

[Unvanguard]

54. Not really.

But an analysis that conflates Obama's language on entitlement reform with the Ryan Plan is not one sufficiently serious to bother contesting. :shrug:

[Mnemosyne]

8. I am stunned. n/t

[Palmer Eldritch]

9. me, too.

[timtom]

53. Too much Can-D in your system, eh?

Perky Pat and Obsequious Obama dolls...

[Tx4obama]

12. Obama! Obama! Obama! Oooobaaamaaa!

Hmmmm... Considering I am always being accused of being a cheerleader, I need to find a little 'cheerleader' emoticon to add to DU comments :)

Edited to add:

[mia]

No doubt about it!

I just wish he would realize that he doesn't have to compromise with bullies.

[UrbScotty]

14. I rec'd it - and it still said 0. SHAME on some of you!

[joshcryer]

16. To be fair a lot of that is due to the subject-line responses from the OP.

[elocs]

38. He is the King of the UnRec, a title which he has worked hard to earn. n/t

[mr clean]

23. Ya know, when DU 3.0 comes on-line,

you and other rec'ders out there won't be able to shame anybody!

[Bluebear]

49. lol

[donheld]

51. Thanks for reminding me, I'd forgotten to unrecommend

till I saw your post

[WheelWalker]

29. Me, too. But then, I'm an elder. I suspect that affects

my perspective. I've seen a lot of problems and I have learned that the first difficulty is to see that the problem is difficult.

Blessings.

[TheKentuckian]

30. We know you are giddy as a mouse in a land with no cats.

Soon the political debate will be which ships to name for Reagan, how big a felony it is to comply with corporate dictates, and whether Walmart brand public schools should teach things like biology, world civilization, and literature or just get them ready to stock and run the register.

[Marr]

31. Going fishing again, I see.

[rug]

32. If he was pulling your pancreas out through your anus, you'd vote for Obama.

[unkachuck]

33. I think you're fooling me....n/t

[elocs]

37. Which election? The general or the primary?

If I knew in the 2008 primary here in Wisconsin what I know now I would have made a different choice.

[Major Hogwash]

40. Who would you vote for Representative?

Because we're losing the fight in the House right now.

[LoZoccolo]

44. There's an incumbent Democrat who's unlikely to lose in the Chicago area.

[Major Hogwash]

56. Aren't you the lucky one!! This is going to kill our chances of getting rid of one of our worst

Representatives from the House next year.
He has consistently went from being a reasonable, moderate Republican to a flaming, grenade throwing, corporate fascist in the last 10 years.
He used to buck the House trend once in awhile, only voting with the GOP party apparatchiks about 80% of the time, showing he had some remnants of an active brain stem left in his head.
But, Tom Delay had that removed, so he now votes with the Republicans 96% of the time.
He marches in lockstep with them, now.
Sometimes he is even out front, carrying their banner.

[Arctic Dave]

41. I wouldn't. I would focus my time and energy on Democrats.

Plus, I live in Alaska and voting for him is a waste of time.

[Union Scribe]

43. You should get a Twitter account

Those are perfect for short, pointless messages no one really needs to see.

[Electric Monk]

55. +1
