Reply #56: I have no choice but to vote for Obama.

[Hatchling]

But I don't know how I can defend him against the many terrible things he has or hasn't done.

I have tried talking to several people and all I can come up with is the GOP selection is batshit crazy.

I did find a couple of really young voters who were extremely enthusiastic about Obama, but went on to say that the country needs to swing back to conservatism because the progressive stuff was ruining it. WTF! They went on to tell me that when the economy finally improves and Social Security can be privatized then it will no longer be in danger. I finally quit arguing about social security and it's 1.2 Trillion positive balance because they also told me that Progressive wasn't a political label. (The progressive label is becoing as contaminted as the liberal label has. )And since they are voting Obama anyway, I didn't want to piss them off.
