Many of us are pissed with Obama. But replace him with a Republican???

[Cyrano]

Like many here on DU, I am totally fed up with Obama. Nonetheless, I have no choice but to vote for him next year, regardless of who the Republicans nominate.

Think about it for a moment. President Newt Gingrich? President Sarah Palin? President Michele Bachmann? President Haley Barbour? President Mike Huckabee? President Rick (man-on-dog) Santorum? President “so-goddamn-stupid-or-insane as to be beyond belief?”

Yeah, there’s Romney and a few other almost sane candidates. But they’re not ideologically “pure” enough to win in the Republican primaries.

Face it. We’re stuck with another four years of Obama who has and will continue to sell us out. Or we’re stuck with some Republican Neanderthal who will sign off on burning witches at the stake.

Yeah, the choice sucks. But American politics has sucked for a few decades now. Like it or not, we are a decaying empire racing headlong into a new dark age.

So while I will go on bitching about Obama, I will grudgingly vote for him again. And if he loses, it will just speed up the end of the American empire.

So how about you? What is your view of the 2012 elections and beyond?
