This is exactly the sort of bullshit we don't need right now.
Nevermind we have less than a month before a midterm.
Nevermind that we might be able to take back Congress and try and stop some of the amazingly horrid things Bushco has been doing.
Nevermind that Republicans have fucked up our country, quite possibly beyond repair in our lifetimes.
No, nevermind all of that. It's far more important to concentrate on a two-year-hence election and who we won't accept as the Democratic nominee, to the point of refusing to vote for them in the election.
This is the sort of mentality that has Karl Rove pinching his fucking nipples in ecstasy, that has neo-cons salivate at the thought of another 4 years of Republican terror at the helm of our country.
This is the sort of mentality that handed Bush 2000.
This is the sort of mentality that brought us the administration that we have been desperately striving to stop, hinder, and change for 6 years.
"I don't like our candidate, so I won't vote."
Great fucking job. You might as well cast your vote for another 4 years of corruption, greed, and fucking over the world. Might as well sign a petition to start another bullshit war, might as well sign up to clean the torture implements.
Such stubbornness is a huge reason why our country is politically fucked right now. The selfish "My way or fuck you" that pervades society at every God damned turn.
Well, sometimes you put aside what you WANT and do what's RIGHT for the country. Sometimes a partial victory is better than no victory at all.
And son of a bitch, sometimes that means voting for a distasteful candidate from your party.
I'm going to work my fucking balls off for the candidate I want in 2008, but I'll leave the damn country before I do anything that makes it easier for Republicans to give us the shaft for another 4 years.
So suck it up, hold your nose, and do what's right for the country, NOT what's right for your personal desires.
