DawnOfTheRedSun, you are doing Beer Blogging tonight, because I've got something to rant about right fucking now!
No, my problem is not with most of you fellow Kossacks, just the worryworts. I for one am done worrying. Are you so upset that you will let the rightwingfascists regain control of our government next year? No? Good! I personally pledge to vote straight D on my ballot regardless of their views on abortion, or war, or whatever else. Why you ask, because even though the Democrats aren't perfect, they are better than the alternative. Suck it up and vote for the least worse.
There was a survey recently which said that forty percent of Democrats are not going to vote in 2010. Do you know what that will do to us all? Do you? Don't support every move they make, but for god's sake don't let the Republican troglodites retake Congress. Yes we'll still have the Senate, but how many good bills do you think Speaker Boehner is going to bring to the floor?
Republicans run on a 'Government can't do anything platform, and then once they are elected, they prove it'F
Tell me. Please do. What good does all of this Chicken Little shit accomplish? Nothing! All it does is embolden the terrists, I mean TeaBaggers.
We laugh at the splintering of the Republican Party at the same time that we impose our own purity test. How is it a bad thing for them, but a good thing for us? Blanch Lincoln sucks, so does Ben Nelson, and Mary Landriu...how the fuck ever you spell her name, but rather than talk about kicking them to the curb, we need to focus on how we can make them step in line. Call Harry Reid. Donate to any primary challenger he faces, and god forbid, should he win the primary, donate to his Rethuglican opponent. Better to lose one seat than to have a weak kneed mealy mouthed bastard running the show.
This is how we should act when we want our agenda done. Not pissing and moaning over how some politician let us down.
Grow the fuck up. Pols will always let you down, but you have to put pressure on them to let you down just a little less.
