We have a very important election coming up. Why don't we do like the republicans do and not hang [View all]

our own party!!! It is now that we should be extolling the virtues of having a Democratic president and a democratic controlled senate and congress.

I think everyone voting up a post that is anti-Obama is just hurting our chances for Democratic victories this Nov. I guarantee you that republicans don't and won't do this. That and a bunch of illegal activities are the reason they win elections in the first place. I say NO to illegal but YES to unity!

So please do not vote up anti-democratic OP's. Because that is not what we want the thousands of lurkers here seeing on our front page.

You can spend all the time you want after the election bitching about our president. But remember one thing. It was because of this man that millions of Americans will not die because of lack of health insurance. Remember when children were kicked off health insurance because of pre-existing conditions? Remember the numbers that showed how children in a hospital with no insurance DIED at a much higher rate that the Health insurance kids did? Remember all the people who lost their houses because of medical bills?

Remember the bikini graph where it showed how the bush administration caused the US to hemorrhage jobs and how it turned around with the new administration? And that is considering how republicans have done everything in their power to keep the job reports dismal - because that's just how caring they are. Remember how we were at the precipice of a real depression when President Obama took office?

Remember the Lilly Ledbetter act?

Remember the auto industry? What would have happened if a Mitt Romney were in charge and let them go bankrupt?

Remember how he pumped money, (and still is) into green energy and other environmental concerns? Can you fucking imagine what our country would look like if a Koch loving republican were in charge?

Please just remember that we need to keep the senate and because of gerrymandering it is going to be hard this time around.

Remember the government shutdown because Obama would not repeal Obamacare?

It is called "MARKETING". If you want to sell Barbie doll accessories and at the same time constantly talk about everything that is wrong with the Barbie doll you are going nowhere.

Our country needs all of us. We do not need anyone putting down any democrat. And I don't care if you think it is something that "should be said" or that "I have the right to say it" or whathehell ever egotistical reasons some will use to justify their need to bash. I say you are not a friend but a foe if you keep this shit up.

And the trolls just love you and love to click a thumbs up.

EDIT: I don't care if you believe whatever bashing you say is, "the truth". It is not the time.
