Nobody does more than you, ProSense. He owes a lot to you.

:nudge: :nudge:

As more and more of the ratfuckers, the crypto-Republicans, and the propaganda profiteers see the impending Republican defeat and try all the harder to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Just pulling your chain.

He's not perfect. I doubt there are any perfect candidates, in terms of absolute fealty to a progressive agenda, who exist in the real world. All I know is there are 4 options in November-

(1) Vote for Obama
(2) Vote for the Republican nominee
(3) Vote 3rd party
(4) Don't vote

Only 1 option does not help and promote the Republican agenda.

Of course the present day TeaPubliKlans are devoted to the John Birch Society agenda so Republican recycled Republican policy seems sensible when contrasted against the options.

They aren't sensible, it just seems so in comparison. These old rehashed policies are designed ground up to advance the Republican agend while enhancing the positions of existing profit centers and erroding the commons.

just honesty about why #1 is the best option.

You need someone to tell you why #1 is the best option?

#1 is the best option because the Republicans will be worse. It will not stop the advancement of Republican policies, but it's the option that will advance them the least or the slowest.

The disaster that was the first two years of the Obama administration, where the Blue Dogs blocked even the most tepid responses the President made to the crises at hand illustrated that perfectly.

all the rah-rah Obama cheerleading freaks me out - cause i have LOTS of issue with the way he has ruled (pro-corporate) in his first term - and the facts that others still seem to think he's awesome - makes me question if that's the side i really want to side with either - due to either their lack of a grasp on reality or purposeful ignorance of the way Obama escalated the pointless war in Afghanistan, didn't even attempt to stand up for the people when it came to single-payer health care, gave tax cuts to the 1%, signed the bill allowing for the indefinite detention of American citizens without access to a trial or lawyer, and helped cover-up the WAR CRIMES of the Bush admin. yeah, i really, really wish we had a better option. in so many ways - the system is fundamentally broken.

i will agree with you that he is at least better than the republicans though - sad as that statement may be.

The OP was stating his support for Obama.

Is that now considered to be a hateful post?

I don't entirely agree with the comparison of Obama cheerleading with the two minute hate, but it can easily lead to something similar.

The next step is usually someone asking the question "where else do you think you're gonna go?" The last time that was thrown up in the left's face, it denied Gore the White House.

Do not kick the sleepy dog, please.

4 more years!
Leave the GOP in tears!

Nothing but a straight Dem ticket ALL the way down the ballot.

and financial crooks?

OK, got it...

One of the worst betrayals Obama has made is not prosecuting the war criminals that came before him.

unless it's the Obama haters here who torture the English language.

nothing funny happened there. If you want to know why my book is titled that, I suggest you go buy a copy.

And how clear do you really think you were? Someone brought up Obama standing with war criminals (which he has done, by not prosecuting them) and you laugh. What else were we to think, other than that you were laughing at the war crimes he's ignored?

if you're book is as well written as your posts, I'm gonna pass.
The laughter is because only an idiot would equate support for President Obama with support for war criminals.
And your comprehension still sucks. Please tell us how the fact that war criminals not being prosecuted means Obama is "standing" with them.
Really, I get that you don't like Obama.
But to equate him with war criminals is something I expect from the right, not someone on a progressive website.
Maybe you should stick to writing about the humor of Columbine. Oh, did I take away the wrong impression from the title? Guess someone was unclear!

• Start a sentence with a capital letter. "If...."


• "You're" is a contraction for "you are." This sentence says "if you are book is...." The possessive form is "your."


• "Gonna" is not a word. The correct gerund form of "to go" is "I'm going to."

yoo caugt the speling erors.
bravo!
guess you can't argue with the substance of the post, eh?
too busy laughing about school shootings and our president who "stands with war criminals"?

"Drop out of school before your mind rots from exposure to our mediocre educational system. Forget about the Senior Prom and go to the library and educate yourself if you've got any guts. Some of you like pep rallies and plastic robots who tell you what to read. Forget I mentioned it... Rise for the flag salute." - Frank Zappa

"The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater." - Frank Zappa

"Remember, there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over." - Frank Zappa

"Government is the Entertainment Division of the military-industrial complex." - Frank Zappa



"You know what I hate? People who say "Obama stands with war criminals" because war criminals have not been prosecuted. Think about the inanity of that statement. " - "Zappaman


One of these quotes is not like the others.... one of these kids just isn't the same.

One of my heroes in fact. Did you ever read his autobiography? Lots of great stuff in there about beer and flags.

I will support a good leader until someone comes who is better.We cannot have a leader from the crazy fascists who are running against him. Can we? I would hope that you agree with me.

I just hate the mocking joy coming from certain corners that those of us who disagree with different areas of Obama's administration that we have no other choice.

Then they wonder why we don't share in their joy. Maybe because, like a dog who gets kicked on a regular basis, we're unlikely to trust a hand supposedly extended in friendship.

You know what I hate?
People who say "Obama stands with war criminals" because war criminals have not been prosecuted.
Think about the inanity of that statement.
And the mocking joy of every day pointing out how awful Obama is, is tedious and unproductive.

you sound like a very bitter sad sad voter.

You could sound fired up and angry on your very own thread and it may actually seem inspired to so very many at DU. Lots of 'em going on here lately. You won't be alone.

no matter what he says or does, it doesn't matter. This is about as surprising as that the sun sets in the West.

"lol, prosense I think we all know you always stand with Obama"

...that means no one knows that you do?

Wait, do you?

Agree about the full-frontal assault. Not even an attempt to make it appear genuinely random either! But then it's a New Moon too.

Thanks for your support.

I never would have thought you an Obama supporter without this self gratifying OP

your comment is surprising!

I've got his back.

Cause he's busy having the backs of the torturers

RL

Juvenile and weird, but interesting.

Why go to the trouble??

A teenage girl calls her boyfriend to tell him she's giving him the "silent treatment".

K&R

he is the least damaging of our choices and I will vote for him.

The alternative

and I can't imagine a world with these stupid other party shitheads in charge.

I don't want to imagine such a world.

Through his chief of staff and press secretary.

Sure, why not.
What other choice do we have?

Its like choosing to hang close to the bully that only steals your lunch money, as opposed to hanging near the one that takes your lunch money AND beats you up after school besides.

Why wouldn't you? But it doesn't mean it will be easy for progressive minded voters.
Its a redundant OP, and feels a little arrogant. Its a little like one of the kids that surround the "lesser" bully rubbing it in. "whatcha gonna do?...go across the yard and stand with the bigger bully?....what, no? he he he.....now turn out those pockets!"

i would love to stand with anyone who runs to the left of him in the primaries. he's better than the repubs - but that doesn't mean he's good by any means - not IMO.

complain that YOU voice support for Obama on a regular basis.

Clearly drives them crazy!

You should have included a BUNCH of links to his numerous accomplishments ... they REALLY hate that.

The best part is that they will get more and more screechy as Obama's re-election draws closer.

I'm still waiting for them to start "3rdPartyUndergound.com", but it does not seem likely at this point.

He isn't perfect, and there are quite a few things I disagree with him on, but he's the best we have right now. The thought of Newt or Mittens in the White House makes me want to vomit. FOUR MORE YEARS!!

yup-ui

(me too!!!)
