Listen up, schmucks

Waaahhhh. If my candiate doesn't win, I'm taking my toys and going home. Why, I might even vote for Nader. And hey, my candidate isn't even in the primary anymore, so I think I'm gonna vote for Nader.

Or, you know what? I'm gonna stay home. I'm just not gonna vote because my pissy-assed feelings are more important than Supreme Court nominees over the next 4+ years. What do I really care about choice? What do I really care about the constitution?

My pissy-assed feelings are more important than getting rid of the party that started this war, no matter who voted for it (for whatever political calculations.) My pissy-assed feelings are hurt because someone said something negative about my candidate. They lied. No. Really. Can you believe that politicians lie? Can you believe that politicians make deals to accomplish this or that goal?

well, not me. I'm too pure of heart to vote for anyone who has actually been involved in politics in any way. Unless, of course, it's Nader. Because if you're always the underdog you get to piss and moan all the time while you accomplish NOTHING.

Waaahhhh. I'm not gonna vote if I have to vote for "the lesser of two or three evils." I don't care if others have done this over a generation of presidential candidates. They're part of the past. They're old. They don't know what's important.

Nader, now there's a candidate. He's so pure of heart that Phyllis Schafley loves him and feted him after the 2000 election. I was so pure of heart, just like her, I made sure I didn't vote for Gore. I didn't voter swap either, so that Nader could get funding but not spoil the election. Okay, he didn't spoil the election. It was all Gore's fault because he wore brown suits and he was a policy wonk. Okay, I like the global warning shit, but if he were a politician running for office, no way would I vote for him rather than Nader. I'd stay home before I supported that candidate. Like Nader says, the system just needs to fall apart.

Sure, the people who would be hurt most would be the poor, the minorities, the "alternative lifestylers." The people who would gain would be the Cheney's and the Bush's. But at least the most disenfranchised in this country would see how bad this system really is.

Dr. King never made deals with the devil... oh, wait, there was that jerk, Johnson. Johnson was so evil, if I had been able to vote back then, I would've never voted for him when he was the only demo choice I had because it was more important to oppose him than to win the civil rights legislation. Johnson was in bed with the MIC.

Waaaaahhhh. Why should I want to change the party dynamic from within? I might have to associate with people who are not as pure of heart as me. At least, as the U.S. invades Iran and overthrows the Bolivarians, I'll know I did the right thing.

Anyone who disagrees with me is a schmuck.

3. LOL - it is still not allowed to say Obama is someone that many find a likely screwer of the left as

goes for some GOP love and non-partisanship "changing of the atmosphere"

or that his running a slime campaign of playing the race card by nonsense claims of Hillary's lack of control of supporters language meaning she's playing a race card - when the language had to be stretched to hell and back to get it even close to a slur - so as to move the AA split from 70/30 to 90/10 -

or the arrogant wife of the walk on water Obama - or the actual lies that perhaps are to be expected of a Chicago Daley machine candidate - all might make voting for Obama in the general a little less than automatic-

nope - none of this can be said on DU.

As I recall we have had locked in nominees ahead by 20 to 30 points of the locked in GOP candidate in the Junes and Julys of the past - only to see them lose because of many Dems finding it hard to vote for them when the Starbucks crowds money and our media's promotion of them ended.

The GOP wanted the weaker Obama for the general - and now they have him - and the Obama supporters blame others that see him as weak and not an easy choice in November.

At this point he has my vote - and nothing else - and he may lose that.

4. yeah

I never see anything negative about Obama in this forum. And my post was meant entirely for Hillary supporters.
