In reply to the discussion: For many people Obama is not a "lesser evil." For the privileged, he can be. [View all]DonCoquixote
(13,993 posts)There are threads I agree with and say hell Yeah, and there are one I agree with because they articulate a pain so well I weep. This is the latter. I know I will offend many, but I really hate dealign with the fact that many of my fellow "liberals", the ones that, unlike me, have NO CLUE what it is like to be called a spic, or not have money, chastise ME as if my vote for Obama is some proof I am a right wing scumbag. I really love the ones with the EXPENSIVE Che Guevara shirts and cups, the expensive Clove or Herbal cigarettes, who are the same people that would withold tips because they were not feted by us less wealthy underlings. You think we dark-skinned folk do not notice that even at left wing charities, certain people give the orders and certain people get the coffee?
And let us not even talk about people like Nader and Jane Hamsher that TAKE GOP MONEY and act like they have the moral high ground! It is one thing to oppose Obama, but the minute they took one red cent from the GOP, they flushed their cred down the toilet!
Ted Rall blathers about how anyone voting left is in the way of revolution, and his little posters gleefully talk of executing democrats! Of course, they also talk of hooking up with the libertarians, gee, as all the legalized dope they would smoke with them would somehow mitigate the way they would hand this country over to corporations! Yeah Ted, smoke a bowl with the Libertarians, make your jokes about Obama being an affirmative action president (and yes you did), and the libertarians can blow your head off, and make a profit!
If you want your damn third parties, get some lower offices. If Jesse the Body Ventura can make himself a governor of a large state using Ross Perot's traveling circus, then no third party has an excuse!
If I seem mad, I will tell you why. I know if that Mitt steals this election, the first thing they will do is say "this proves that unless you obey us and grovel, you will never win an election again!" Of course, they ignore that ther MSM will say "this proves that Obama was too far left!" Watch the Rahm Emmanuels and Hillary Clintons run in 2016, and watch them win because Mitt ------>WILL<------- do Damage that a century will not heal!
