Reply #26: I do not think it is a clear choice between issues and party.

For example, I strongly support the Prez. I think he has done great things. At the same time, I think he has sucked on certain issues that I think are very important. For example, mountaintop removal. I think so many of our problems are obviously structural but I do not think there is a revolution, or even a rebellion, coming anytime soon. I just don't; therefore, I think we work within the system to progress. I believe that President Obama is pushing us in that direction. I would protest in front of the White House for a ban on mountaintop removal. I will still, however, throw my strongest support (volunteer, organizing, money) behind the President in 2012 and in the public discourse leading up to the election.
