(17,435 posts)When you don't vote...you get fucking Mitch McConnel as Senate Majority Leader and Lindsay Graham as Senate Armed Forces Committee Chairman.
I'm sure Romney or McCain would have nominated Elena Kagan or Sonya Sotomayer to the Supreme Court. I'm sure Romney or McCain would have pushed through the largest investment in Green Energy our country has ever seen. I'm sure Romney or McCain would have ended the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and not started any more wars! I'm sure Romney or McCain would have insured 10 Million people and began bringing downt the cost of health care.
You know, I say that the Republican voters are ignorant...and then I see ignorant shit like this from a so-called progressive. It's the same shit Nader used to say about how there is "no difference" between the parties. It's bullshit, and it's designed to keep down turnout. "Why fucking vote at all", these ass-hatted lefties say, and then we end up with truly fucking insane people in power.
My God!!!!! If the only fucking difference between the parties is that the Democrats keep their crazy aunts locked up in the attic, vice giving them committee chairmanships, or LIFETIME SUPREME COURT APPOINTMENT....that's reason enough to vote Democratic.
I dont' know who the "eff" Will Pitt is, but if he doesn't know what the Democratic Party stands for...either HE HASN'T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION, or he's just trying to stir up shit and ensure a Repub victory.
Want to change the Democratic Party for the better? Get out...vote Democrat...and hold their feet to the fire.
There are only two reasons why the Repubs have been successful. Either the country really is drifting right, or DEMOCRATS HAVE STAYED HOME ON ELECTION DAY BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN TOLD THERE'S "NO DIFFERENCE".
and I don't believe this country is drifting right.
