** Fight Goddammit **
** Fight Goddammit **

I don't often write diaries in direct support of Obama and the Democratic Party, I usually leave that to more dedicated party activists.

I have even be called sometimes anti-the good man because I concentrate on my ideological principles. However, there comes a time to pick sides and godammit in this political and economic climate quite frankly that ain't fucking hard to do.

They have produced a landmark health care reform.

They have produced a landmark financial reform.

They have bailed out the economy.

I use they because as I have often stated I am well to the left of the Democratic Party. The legislation passed so far has hardly been to my personal satisfaction, then again it has helped millions of people get by.

Will I continue to fight for better, of course. Will I criticize, you better believe it. There are long term goals; and as a realist as well as an ideologue I know its a slow process.

Instant gratification is not on the cards.

To be blunt; I prefer fighting with Dem's rather than Republicans, because its is easier to have a debate, since being screamed at and called a traitor never made me change my mind.

1. There's something wrong with your link.
It redirects to the front page of Daily Kos.

7. If the goddamned "I only support Democrats when it suits me" would FUCKING FIGHT
as this person is suggesting, perhaps the liberal agenda WOULD HAVE A BETTER SHOT AT IMPLEMENTATION!!

Get off the fucking soapbox and DO SOMETHING!
