| 32. It's just the classic liberal mindset of not being able to handle the success |

Edited on Sun Jan-11-09 03:43 PM by Gman
of electing someone who has the potential to do everything we have wanted not just the last 8 years, but maybe the last 40, or more. And Obama was the far-left's candidate. They think that they elected Obama and they can make him lose in 2012. They don't have a clue that this was a year that was so bad for Republicans that EVEN OBAMA could win. Make no mistake about that.
But some here can't stand the prosperity. The whining and complaining and bitching and moaning started LESS THAN 48 HOURS after the election was called for Obama. Even though I expected it, even I was surprised at how fast Obama's absolutely biggest supporters turned on him so fast. My head literally spun.
Maybe they think they don't deserve to win. Maybe they think they really can't and shouldn't win because they're not worthy or something. Who the hell knows? And it is those that were the most vicious of the Obamabots from the primaries that were so very fast to turn on Obama and stab him in the back before he even has taken the oath of office.
In my area we have had a running battle between those of us that were in organized labor and allied with the AA caucus, against the so-called progressives. No one whined and complained and bitched and moaned more than these progressives. But they could never ever deliver a damn thing when it got right down to it. We regularly kicked butt and out voted the so-called progressives every year without exception, including this year. No one takes them seriously in mainstream politics because they can't stand prosperity and have always got to bitch and moan and whine and complain about something. Sometimes we'd let them have someone elected to their beloved Resolutions Committee. They still whined and complained and bitched and moaned. It's highly annoying and every bit as counter productive.

So what's the deal with the binary thought processes here? |
