Okay, I've pretty much given up on Barack at this point. But this is getting just f***ing pathetic!
When Nancy "I don't have a clue" Pelosi seems more Progressive than the presumptive Dem candidate, then things are pretty bad in Barack-ville.
I don't have much to say on this one. Nancy is leading the fight to prevent more off-shore drilling? Where is Barack? How hard is this? Off-shore drilling would only prolong the inevitable while lining the pockets of the big oil companies.
And Barack...he's seriously considering adopting McSame's position.
Why?
Because Barack has f***ing lost his mind. He's totally worried about being compared to Paris and Britany. Good Lord! This is getting down right ridiculous.
Since Barack has locked up the nomination, he has taken increasingly conservative positions. But this is beyond the pale!
How can a seriously Progressive candidate actually even consider a position which advocates off-shore drilling? When would we EVER turn to alternatives? There are so many reasons to oppose (strongly) off-shore drilling (not to mention ANWR) that this should be a no-brainer for Barack.
And this dumb-f*** is trying to follow McSame????
You know, I thought it was bad enough that Barack was adopting too many DLC positions (whined about by me in prior diaries) but now he seems to have decided that he needs to be even MORE conservative.
I mean, WTF?????
I guess I am just...I don't know...disappointed? Disgusted?? Appalled???
All of the above????
I just wish Barack would take ONE Progressive position and push it.
Something.
F***ing ANYTHING!
And in the end, I guess I am just...sad. This campaign had so much promise for Progressives. And Barack has just squandered it all!
God, I wish we could still nominate Al Gore!!!!
F***!!!!
