(10,942 posts)This moderate has carried water and contributed to liberal democrats because they were democrats and were far batter than the alternatives. If progressives sit on their hands, I won't suffer. I also won't come to progressives aid when they are railing about the fucking mess that their inaction and all of nothing mindset caused. I got eight years of Bush because progressives in Florida and New Hamshire drank the Nader coolaide. For years, I saw one of those progressives protesting daily, rain or shine against the fucking rightwing mess that Bush II was creating. The time for that person to protest was long gone, that fucking time was on election day 2000 when he pulled the lever for Bush II by voting for Nader. I waited to get rid of Bush and voted for the democrat in 2000 and 2004. When I read some of the Obama will lose or I won't vote for Obama posts here on DU, I become more comfortable with being Michael to the progressive's Fredo. Turn your back on me when I need you to stay loyal to causes that I value, I am done with you. Nothing that you value will be important to me, I will sit on my comfortable ass while you protest in the streets having rightwing, sweaty cops beat the shit out of you as President Romney creates even more of a hell for you.
