Krugman's Harshest Post Yet

[Dragonfli]

70. Nice straw man (Obama and Romney are the same?), nice call out as well

I can see you are doing your third way part to win back the base by attacking it.

It isn't working, I follow policy, if a pol enables and espouses right wing ideas contrary to his campaign speeches I would look there first for your troll rather than a man that simply observes it.

This may be the first year since '72 that I haven't voted straight Democratic ticket.
I am not to blame for that, watching what my politicians do is.

I once voted for the party, as they have moved further right I began in 2000 to vote lesser of two evils.
Now the evil is too much like text book '92 Republican for me to vote for it, I made fun of right wingers for doing that my whole life and I simply refuse to become a hypocrite that does exactly what they have done that I have criticized so long.

There is one more evil than the other yes, but the other side appears to get what they want no matter which of the evils is elected.
Hence the change from continuing the vote lesser of evils strategy as it appears to merely encourage the Republican appeasement.

If I consent to rape by any policy (by voting for it) it is no longer rape but something worse - a co-dependent masochistic relationship with a serial abuser. No one will get that from me. NO ONE!!!

....certainly not you.

I will follow voting records and deals made by individual pols, and will vote progressive and progressive only thank you very much.
I will not just do what you say, I suggest you vote for whatever reasons you choose but leave me to my own right to vote or not as I please.

Appeasement does not help by the way, it is a bad strategy you and the other blue dogs have chosen.
Stop playing patty cakes with Pukes if you want my loyalty again, votes are now to be earned on a pol by pol basis.
