I am a skeptic. I am so much of a skeptic that God himself could come down, stand right in front of me, grant me a miracle, and I would still want to see proof. Because of that, I have a question for all of you that will likely get me trollrated to oblivion, but I'm going to ask it anyway. It's as much for your benefit as mine because these are things you
need to be asking yourself if you want to have any hope of winning over the moderates. Yes yes, you've won half the battle, and that's people getting disgusted with Chimpy McFlightsuit, but the other piece of it is getting them to think that you're
better, and that's what I'm asking. Why?
There is a tremendous amount of anecdotal evidence that says that the wingers, as a rule, are corrupt. No doubt about that. And that compared to the wingers, the D side of the aisle are saints. But that's kind of like comparing the flu to getting run over by a train. They're both bad, you don't want either of them to happen, but generally you'll take the flu over getting run over by a train any day of the week. That's why I'm tending to vote Democrat these days.
But are they more trustworthy? Why do you feel that once a Democrat gets into office they're not going to screw you over just as badly as the wingers, just in a different way? Why should Democrats be trusted to get it right, when they can't even muster up enough courage to go up against the worst administration and government in recent history? Why is Feingold the only person to stand up to the President? Or, at the very least, why is Feingold the only one who seems to be making a platform out of standing up to the president?
If the Dems can't even get their act together enough to mount a challenge to a president with a 34% approval rating, and to a war with a similar rating, and to a congress with a similar rating, why the hell should we be expected to think that electing more of them into office will make things better? It's almost like the WH is gang-raping them (forgive the analogy, it's not meant to be insensitive to rape) and they're just lying back and saying "oh well, no use in struggling!". What good is that? Even if they can't do anything, they should be clawing and biting and kicking the majority in the nads every fucking chance they get! Don't give them a free pass, make them fight for it!
I don't get it. And it's an honest and sincerely meant question - Why do you think that this breed of Democrats will do any better job than the wingers? They sure don't seem to be all that effective right now.
Forgive my frank assessment, but while the wingers are destructive and destroying our way of life, the current breed of Dems are collossal idiots who can't even muster up enough courage to support censure without waffling back and forth, even with historically low approval ratings urging them to do just that. And we want to replace our existing majority of idiots with.. what, exactly, again?
