So is every complaint about Obama wrong? Or some people just don't like to hear them?

205. You say...."most likely republican challengers are all 0%"

and I would dare to disagree and state that most likely republican challengers are all "-100%" of any of our interests. That is 0% is no change in any direction....and that is not their plan at all. Many thought Bush would do no harm, and yet the monentary and mental deficits that we face today were largely caused by those things his party worked to enact, and Republicans haven't gotten any better. Much of what happened under Bush was unimaginable, and yet that is what we got.

My plan is not fighting two fronts.....
considering that only one front can win....after everything is said and done.

Look, the election season is about to commence in earnest, and it ain't no joke. This election will not be about whether I am truly satisfied with what has happened over the past nearly three years. It will be about the fact that we cannot go back at this time....and one of the things that I do well is to give people the good news, and the reasoning as to why we must keep marching forward with Pres. Obama at the helm, and that there is no alternative that will be anything but what is 100% against all that we believe!

I will be damned before I participate in providing any help at all that would assist in a scenario where we wake up on election morning in where we handed the entire government back to Republicans. Four years may not be a long time to affect a great deal of change, but it is certainly enough time to totally give me everything (and I mean everything and then some) that I do not want nor would have even imagined.

I have participated in this forum all these years because of politics, as I don't see this as a self-actualization vehicle. I am not here to "feel better" about my "values" or display my wishful thinking of what the world should be like. Instead, I have been here to affect changes in election results...because it is the results of elections that provide the strongest vehicle to ride in a particular direction, and it is elections that brought me here to begin with.

One of the reasons I no longer post or read here as I used to is because this site, over time, has turned me off of politics....and if the perpetual negativity spewed against Democrats here can do that to me, it can affect anyone! That's a very sad and negative thing...and it is true that many more than you might believe are disengaging, not because of what the President is doing or not doing, but due to the fatigue that sets in believing that one has to fight all sides all of the time, day after day, while being called names and made out to be less than simply because of believing that what is most important is different from what some others think. I can't allow this negativity to affect me, as I believe that I can still make a small difference, and therefore, for now.... I have to turn off in order to retain the strength that I need to fight the "-100%"!

Case in point, is I am donating to groups that will help register voters, and I am registering folks myself. That's positive action....and that is the only thing that I want to do..... My poison in the well is not needed.....as there is so so much there already.

Bush taught us that Supreme Court Picks can change our world. For me, it really is that simple.

So folks can call me a defender if that makes them feel better about their own positions, but I am simply a person who understands that in this democracy, elections matter most, and elections are won by those who are motivated to wanting better and not by those who don't mind dealing with worse thinking that this will wake folks up...because for the most part; it won't.
