subject: Perhaps it is time for Obama to Sashay Away

...

 MM> former Governor Romney may be very hostile to LGBT
 MM> Americans there are good omens why perhaps President Obama
 MM> needs to leave the stage of the presidency.

 You lose.

 MM> For the next two years we will have a Democratic Party US
 MM> Senate so whatever Romney wants, Romney will not get. If
 MM> you like the obstructionism the Republicans gave to
 MM> President Obama, expect more obstructionism by the
 MM> Democrats.

 Nope. In face, David Broder, republican shill, wrote a column
 supporting Romney on just that basis. The republicans in the
 house are so evil they will not support Obama no matter how good
 Obama's policy, no matter how much voting no hurts the country.
 Democrats, OTOH, will work for the good of the country.
 Therefore, Romney will get the support of the republicans in the
 house, and the cooperation of the democrats in the Senate. Obama
 will get the support of democrats in the Senate, and the
 obstruction of republicans in the house.

 Therefore, vote for Romney, the candidate of evil.

 Ok, those weren't his words exactly, but that's what it comes
 down to.

 ...

 MM> Democrats. Perhaps Harry Reid will tell Romney, you want
 MM> some of those tax cuts, perhaps the servers and waiters
 MM> deserve their tipped minimum wage increase to $4.00 an hour
 MM> instead of the measly $2.65,

 Broderevil.

 MM> and you want some of that war in Iran?
 MM> Perhaps we can offer employment nondiscrimination
 MM> for LGBT Americans in exchange for that President Romney.

 I certainly hope not. That would be not only truly evil, but
 truly stupid.

 MM> I may not be a fan of either major political partys
 MM> nominees in 2012, but perhaps we will get change when the

 Real change does not mean as much change as you want. I am
 disappointed in Obama also, but his greatest crime is trying to
 cooperate with the republicans when he should just act when he
 can to do what is right.

 MM> Democratic Party stops sending lip service to marijuana
 MM> activists or even peace activists where even Cindy Sheehan
 MM> questioned the lack of people protesting against war since
 MM> Obama has been elected for his first term. Its ironic that

 Yep. People were disappointed. They were not hurt as much as
 they would have been had McCain won.

 MM> President Obama won the Nobel Peace elected for his first

 That was just because the world was so sick of Bush.

 ...

 MM> Perhaps for progressives maybe the best thing to do is not
 MM> vote for Obama, in safe states obviously. If you live in
 MM> Utah or Alabama feel free to vote for Jill or Rocky or even
 MM> Roseanne. We should have candidates to stand on principle

 Not progressives. Maybe libertarians and maybe even greens, but
 not progressives.

 MM> in future elections so we can support candidates that we
 MM> can truly believe in. Why vote for a candidate that you
 MM> will regret voting for?

 Nader doesn't regret taking votes from Gore. Yet hundreds of
 thousands died because he did. Voting for the perfect over the
 possible is an exercise in ego.
