4. I am not a snotnose, I do not waste my vote...I will vote for the DEM nominee...that does
NOT mean I have to like them, or that I had to support their candidacy in the primaries. What means is that I will do what I can to prevent another goddam Repug from being elected. I would heartily recommend the children that are saying they will not vote if so and so isn't on the ticket heed my approach, otherwise it is their whiney little asses that will have to live with the consequences for many many more years than us old mossbacks. But I care about this country, and I care about my grandaughter. NO more REPUGS! Ever! Period! and if some sonofabitch who claims to be a DEM and fails to vote or throws his vote away hafd better not let me know it in my presence, I am old, I am slow, a little infirm...but I am large, and really really grouchy!

6. Which is why we need to keep hammering them on it.. . .
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 06:07 PM by pat_k
. . .and in particular, why we need to reject Obama's "message" of appeasement. His "happy talk" and "let's all get along" crap is so wrongheaded it turns my stomach. Tt is impossible to simultaneously "make nice" and fight to enforce our common contract -- the United States Constitution.

Sure, Americans want the ideal of "bipartisanship" -- reasonable people working together to solve our common problems. But they know we are currently missing one of the critical ingredients: reasonable people on "both sides." In the last elections the electorate said one thing LOUD and CLEAR: These people are NUTS. Oppose them! Stop them! http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=2753090">Make them go away !

All three are foolishly and utterly failing to tap into the mother lode of anger, energy, and action that is seething throughout the electorate. The only path to a "new politics" and "change" is through an all out fight against the fascists. ONLY impeachment is capable of stopping them. Only impeachment is capable of giving the electorate what it wants. These are realities we must continue to confront our so-called "leaders" with.

Of course, I'll work for whoever wins the Democratic nomination. But instead of being inspired to action, I'll be doggedly putting whatever energy I can muster into the effort because at least we have a shot at knocking some sense into their heads. But, I fear that their failure to confront the reality of our national crisis will keep many who would otherwise give their time and money on the sidelines.

Of the three, at least Edwards seems to recognize the need to fight the fasicsts. For the last few years he hasn't been quite as immersed in the insular and bizzaro world of the beltway as the others. I view him as the most "reachable" of the viable candidates. I sure hope he does well tonight. (I'd love to see Kucinich make a strong showing too, but although he's the only one I've actively supported to date, he is not currently on the "viable" list.)
