Realistically. I feel that the Dems who have some beefs with Obama are expressing it. I have to know, those that are happy with him, what would it take? Do you honestly think that by voicing dissatisfaction is to abandon the Democrats? How on earth does one let a politician know their dissatisfaction and satisfaction other than making it known publicly?

3. I am not 100% happy with him. I'll settle for 50%.
Edited on Fri Aug-26-11 07:24 PM by Amonester
But I would never go so far as risking to be forced to play political "russian-roulette" every day considering the 'alternative.'

(And yes, as it stands, there is only one alternative.)

Those who want to play that game, be 100% certain you will not harm anybody else who doesn't want to be.

6. I removed it. Sorry.
I (still) can remove the roulette, or ask the mods to delete my post if it's not appropriate.

10. It's alright. I should have used 'evil' alternative (actual) instead of 666.
Apologies, if necessary.

13. That is very harsh and light at the same time. Geez let him drink whatever
soda he wants to. It doesn't effect you. Stock in Pepsi?

15. If you are going to exploit Roseanadanna you should at least
use an actual quotation. Fact is, she was a medical marijuana patient during her long battle with cancer, just the sort of person who would not be making light of the hypocrisy and cruelty of the Obama administration's persecution of people like her.

26. Yes, that's JUST LIKE choosing war over peace or green renewable over big oil and coal
or worker's rights over corporate greed or the Patriot act and domestic spying over civil rights and democracy. :eyes:

17. Some peple just express dissatisfaction without hyperbole
I can, and do, say Obama has made some self-defeating choices in negotiating stance without saying he is just a Republican appeaser

I can, and do, say Obama is too religious for my taste without saying he is enabling theocratic lunacies like Ugandan gay killing

I can, and do, say Obama fought too weakly for tax increases without saying he is a right-wing "corporatist" kowtowing to the rich

I can, and do, say Obama has been too reliant on tax-code changes to spur the economy without saying he is a Bush clone who hates the poor

Do you honestly think calling him vile names, threatening to waste your vote on Socialists, and pretending there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats in DC (we saw how agonizingly stupid that was 12 years ago when faced with a REAL DLCer and a much more moderate-sounding Republican than any currently viable candidate) is a more reasoned and constructive way to voice dissatisfaction?

21. My dander isn't up, but my hide is plenty chapped...lol
If making one's dissatisfaction known publicly includes withdrawing campaign donations and volunteer effort, then I agree.:toast:

24. Kill every one of junior's RW initiatives in its tracks and institute a fully progressive
agenda instead of continuing most of junior's RW initiatives and implementing his own RW agenda as lagniappe. This is so simple that even a child can fully comprehend. :patriot:
