(10,893 posts)Just because this person doesn't get 100% of what they want, they selfishly decide to jump ship over a few issues they disagree with the President on. This is a wonderful way to ensure that more Republicans get elected to Washington and rob the country blind.
I really get a kick out of how hardcore liberals who are disillusioned are willing to throw everything to waste that Obama HAS accomplished the past few years, just for the sake of purity. This is strictly a 2-party system, which means that no 3rd party candidates can realistically win without some type of election reform. There is nobody else to choose from except the GOP, and under Republicans, there will be no chance of universal health care. No auto bailout. No investment in alternative energy. Less rights for gays and women. No gun control. And more racist voter ID laws. More wars. More union-busting. And the complete destruction of the Big Three, in addition to just the CPI.
I thought that RWers had a problem seeing the big picture, but apparently it isn't unique to their side of the aisle. I'm surprised (and disappointed) that this thread has over 100 recs, on a supposedly-Democratic website.
