General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Dear Mr President: I'll believe you [View all]So many here are ready to throw him under the bus after 6 months of his second term, and others are trying to encourage people to stay home next year and not vote, although I will admit a whole lot of those people are right wing trolls and Paulbots!
What so many hear seem to forget is that the president is not running again, and next year we need to really work on getting the states we lost in 2010, another year when so many wanted to teach Obama a lesson so they stayed home, back from the republicans that won because the right wing fear and smear machine used the same tactics they are using now. I don't think anyone, real democrats that is, want to see more states being controlled by republicans. They can look at Wisconsin, Maine, Florida, and the others republicans now control, and see just how bad that would be.
I really think that if all true democrats, liberals, and progressives need to understand that there is a lot of time left in Obama's second term, and he really has accomplished a lot, not matter what the trolls say, in his first term. Letting republicans stay in control of the House, and even worse taking control of the Senate also, would be a disaster for this country, and for every man, women and child in this country. Letting republicans take control of your state would be even worse. Be pissed if you want, but don't let that stop you from doing what needs to be done, and sending the republicans a message that they can't stop us from voting them out of office!
