Diarist on hear have great responsibilities. But that responsibility cuts 2 ways. I see comments calling Obama a coward, spineless lacking leadership qualities. We are fucked unless we unite. I understand if there are those here who are for running a primary opponent againstevery democrat who stands against equal marriage the public option or stronger financial reform even if that democrat is Obama. I disagree but it makes sense it literally pushes the party left and it gives the voters the chance to decide in the general if we went too far.
But the primaries are over its time for the hard decision. Its general election time. Its two choices status quo or republican hell. This is a hard decision for some. Not for me. Because there is no benefit if the democrats lose. Conventional wisdom will be it was because we went to far and we will get a more conservative Obama. We have to punish the democrats but not in the general but in the primaries that's how the tea party moved the GOP to the right. if I'm wrong tell me how? P.S. telling obama supporters that all we think needs to be done is for everybody to clap louder. Is insulting. Just wanted to say that.
