And, along with all other things, I'm supposed to be a cheerleader? I'm supposed to defend the same things I protested against under another person/president/regime? I think not.
He's done some good things just recently, for which I'm grateful and I hope he keeps it up; but in the main it's been too little, far too late especially in health care. As for gay rights, I knew from before the election he'd do little to nothing for us, his late promises to the LBGTQ community notwithstanding... that still didn't stop me from volunteering on his campaign, hoping against hope he'd see the light, at least recognize the need for equal rights.
But what he's seen fit to do is to demean and ostracize what he calls "far left" Democrats, which in his book include all gay people. He hasn't stopped this 'State's Rights' shit... I wonder how he'd feel if states were able to legislate on the legal premise of Loving vs. Virginia?
It's sad, but I can promise I won't vote party line anymore, I'll exclusively support whoever supports me and nobody else.
