33. I have to say, that when I look at the list of "Liberal Saviors" that are frequently touted on this
web site, it becomes very clear to me that many here simply DO NOT GET IT.

DU's Magic Dem Primary List:

Grayson, Kucininch, Sanders, Wiener, Dean, Nader. Over and over and over again. Grayson, Kucinich, Sanders, Wiener, Dean, Nader.

Kucinich couldn't probably get his own mom to vote for him; Grayson was voted out after engaging in some fairly yucky behavior; Wiener resigned after some fairly yucky behavior; Sanders and Dean are way too damn smart to even consider such stupidness and Nader, well, I'll just leave him alone. And even though I personally believe that Grayson and Weiner will be resurrected (and will be glad if/when that happens) the idea that despite being unable to hold onto their seats they are somehow MORE QUALIFIED to be president than Obama just makes my eyes roll and my jaw drop.

I'm sure it doesn't even RESONATE with many of the people who keep touting this list that it's the same old white, male names over and over and over again. Elizabeth Warren or Hillary are listed on the very rare occasion but Warren has no political experience and is probably MUCH too smart to even want that job, and Hillary has had her chance and lost. These people want to kick out the black guy who has been listed TIME AND AGAIN as one of the most effective and accomplished executives (in only 2.5 years, no less) in the history of the Oval Office with men who have proven time and time again that they couldn't win a presidential election against a dusty broom.

The double talk and double standards are simply breathtaking. Obama votes a way that DU's "liberals" don't like, he's "caving." One of the Magnificent Six does the same thing (the ones that are actually able to vote on anything, that is)? They were "forced to." The only proper response to this idiocy in my opinion is to laugh. Either that or vomit.
