Even if you don't like Gibbs, you should still vote for Obama and Democrats in elections.

1. LoZo on Bozo

the news at 11

[ibegurpard]

2. Gibbs speaks for his boss /nt

[LoZoccolo]

3. He might, but you should still vote for his boss. n/t

[AlabamaLibrul]

8. Why? Votes are earned, not owed. n/t

[BzaDem]

12. Where do people get this stuff?

People who don't vote for Obama have MUCH MORE to lose under a Republican Congress than the people they don't vote for if they lose.

[AlabamaLibrul]

14. At this point, I don't have a whole lot of anything to lose. n/t

[LoZoccolo]

16. Why do you say that?

I think the Democratic Party is better than the Republican Party.

[AlabamaLibrul]

20. FWIW, I'm still voting straight D on the local and national representative ticket

And with any luck, I'll find a Dem, whether it comes out of the current Administration or not, that I can actually feel good about voting for (like I truly did in 2008 for Obama)

Until then, I'm agnostic on 2012. I've yet to gain anything from a personal or political standpoint from this WH except disappointment.

[27inCali]

24. trying taking a look at the Senate

they are a much bigger problem than Obama.

I feel like they are getting a free pass when they are the ones watering down the legislation, not Obama.

[McCamy Taylor]

25. "Stay Home!" A registered trademark of the 2010 GOP Congressional Election Comittee

Gotta wonder about people spreading that message at DU.

[AlabamaLibrul]

30. I do not spread any message to anyone, I speak only for myself, and if stating my feelings

makes me part and parcel with the NRCC, then call me the biggest teabagger of the bunch.

[laughingliberal]

39. The GOP did NOT make Robert Gibbs decide to go out and insult Democratic voters.

AND Gibbs doubled down and stood by his insults today. This is on him.

Yesterday was a day the House should have been able to hold a BIG presser celebrating the passage of the jobs' bill and showing how they are working for the American people. And Gibbs decides the priority is to get the WH insults of the left on record. I'm starting to think he wants to lose the House.

[Duke Newcombe]

28. Catch me again, when and if his boss makes it past the 2012 primaries. n/t

[backwoodsbob]

34. you're paid how much for this? nt

5. Great, so you'll be voting for Obama. n/t

[VMI Dem]

7. If he changes his homophobic stance on gay civil rights, sure.

[uponit7771]

13. ...I hear yah, better a republican in office than Obama...they'll surely do better on those issues

[VMI Dem]

18. That tired old bullshit don't work any more. No bigots regardless of party.

[Sebastian Doyle]

21. well, Ted Olson and Judge Walker just did

And they're Repukes.

Not that I'd bet on most Republicans doing so. But, as a lifelong Democrat, it's really kind of embarrassing to me that a long time Bush Crime Family lawyer and a possible Bush cousin/Poppy Bush appointee are to the Left of the President that I helped elect on the issue of equal rights.

[Individualist]

37. spin, distort, repeat.

[MadHound]

6. WHACK! Thank you sir, may I please have another! WHACK! Thank you sir, may I please have another!

Yeah, I've seen this movie before.

[Individualist]

35. Well said!

[mcollins]

9. Better the lie you know than the lie you may get? nt

[phantom power]

10. You know, most still will. But Gibbs just lost them some votes, and time, and money...

and whatever the effect of that turns out to be, they asked for it. It's all on them.

[LWolf]

32. +1

[uponit7771]

11. Gibbs tells the truth, most complaining aren't willing to help get congressional resources WH needs

17. It must be fun to copy/paste that in every Obama or Gibbs thread. n/t

[TheKentuckian]

40. There is no resource shortage but rather a divergence of objectives

They have got well above what they have been given but keep digging through that Atwater/Rove talking points and tactics handbook.

[mmonk]

19. Sorry you are having to work so hard.

Just tell them to quit slamming and running against us when they should be focusing on the opposition.

[Andy823]

22. Well...

I think anyone with half a brain will vote for the democrats even if they aren't 100% happy with the way things are going. I mean look at the alternative. If republicans take over congress because the left stays home and won't vote because they are mad at Gibbs, they won't see a damned thing done for at least the next two years! Republicans will be tying to impeach the president, voting NO on anything that would help the country get back on track, and trying to repeal anything that hurts their corporate buddies! They will take this country into a real depression, is that what all those who are pissed off right now want? If so then they really need a reality check!

Nobody is 100% pleased with everything that Obama and his administration has done, but it's a hell of a lot better than what we would have gotten with a McCain Palin administration! I think a lot of right wing trolls are keeping up the anti Obama posts here on DU, and doing a pretty good job of dividing the boards and getting people all worked up. When election time comes smart people will remember it's a choice between getting something done, even if it's not everything they want to see done, and going back to the same old bullshit we had when republicans were in charge when Clinton's problems with Monica dominated congress. If you think that was a mess just wait till the racist assholes start going after president Obama! I will be a three ring circus and nothing will come of it, and nothing will get done for the people! If you want a "real" depression, stay home and don't vote. If you want to get things done, anything at all done, then go out and vote!

26. I'm voting for Barbara Boxer come hell or high water

And I always will. I will also always vote for Barbara Lee. These two women are fucking phenomenal. They're also Progressive.

[LatteLibertine]

27. I plan to

I can't stand the thought of returning to Republican rule. It would be a nightmare.

They would attempt to undo everything decent that has been done and then some.

[Bluebear]

29. As you festoon your posts with a Gibbs avatar LOL

[Orsino]

31. Gibbs can do his own begging/clarifying.

It's beneath the dignity of DUers.

[laughingliberal]

33. Even if I'm voting for the Democrats in November(and I am), I should still unrec this thread. nt

[robertpaulsen]

36. Oh yes sir! Eagerly awaiting an "Even if you don't like war, you should support our troops" thread!

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

38. Gibbs is a doughy douchebag. Having said that. I plan to vote in the next 2 elections for the

Democratic candidates locally and nationally. With the only possible exception being if locally a Green has a good shot of winning and has a better platform than the Democrat. Now if you'll excuse me. I have to go shower, having participated in one of your threads.
