CNN Poll: GOP has edge in early midterm indicator

[Jack Rabbit]

66. This Obama critic says VOTE!!

Yes, I have been and am critical of President Obama. No, I am not going apologize for it. Right now he's preparing to push the TPP through Congress so fast that we won't notice what it is until it's too late, even though he's using the same arguments for it that President Clinton used while pushing NAFTA, and we all know how well that turned out. TPP is even worse, and I have no plans to be silent during this process.

However, President Obama is a lame duck and will never be on any ballot again, unless he wants his old Senate seat in Illinois back. The goal of the future is to stop and turn the march of corporate tyranny. We all know that is not to be done by electing the Koch brothers' stooges in the GOP.

The Republicans present an alternate reality in which women cannot be trusted to make their own medical decisions, racism is no longer a problem in America, unemployment benefits hurt the unemployed and Wall Street bankers make rational decisions that benefit the whole of American society. These are policies that have led to the destruction of the middle class, which, even though they act like they don't know it, will also adversely affect the corporate bosses.

You don't like your Democratic Congressman because he thinks the TPP is great and Larry Summers would have made an outstanding Fed chairman? Fine, I'm with you. Send him a message in the Spring or Summer when he runs in the primary. Send the whole nation a message by retiring him and then electing in November a Democrat who is a democrat. Third Way Democrats who are simply kinder, gentler Republicans have no intention of reining in corporate tyrants. We need people in Congress who have.

This cannot be accomplished by giving up and staying at home on election day because there is "no one" to vote for. If you live in Wisconsin, you need to get rid of Walker and all the Republican legislators who support him and much to the tune of the Koch brothers' money. If you live in Michigan, you need to get rid of those who have acquiesced to the anti-democratic emergency manager regimes. If you live in Texas, you need to rid the country of the racists and misogynists who have given your state a bad name for way too long. If you live in North Carolina, you need to get rid of Republicans who think voting is privilege and not a right.

I live in California, and I want to keep this state on its road to recovery and show the rest of the country how good things are when the GOP becomes a splinter party.

Please join me in voting in 2014.
