Did anybody notice that the President's numbers have been creeping back up?? Today's CNN poll has the President at 50% CNN Poll. Some might say it is an outlier but I don't think so. I am hoping that those of us in the progressive community realize that it is time for all of us to put aside our problems and/or differences with the President and start working towards keeping this country from falling into the hands of the new Republican party. They really are a scary bunch!!
Yes. I will say it again. It is time for ALL of us (those who can with a clear conscience) to work together to prevent what I would call a catastrophe!! I cannot sit by and let the Republican party back into power. When they are in power they mess it up so badly that it will take a generation to fix.
I have been disappointed too and I've also felt that the President and the Dems haven't pushed hard enough on the agenda I voted for but when I look at the alternative...I feel sick to my stomach. I can NOT sit at home and not vote or not encourage others to vote for a Democratic candidate. The time to purge the Corporatist Dems is during the primaries NOT during mid-terms or a presidential election. For those who are that angry and don't want to vote imagine where you and this country will be if you don't. Rand Paul thinks it's ok for businesses to discriminate, Jan Brewer wants a police state, Sharon Angle thinks unemployment insurance isn't helpful to anyone, most of the republican party thinks that civil rights only applies if you are white and Christian, John Boehner thinks the emergency room is good enough for those Americans without healhcare!!!
Not only that Nancy Pelosi has done a darn good job of getting decent bills out of the House. Wouldn't it be a shame that of all the Dems I'm angry at that she would be the one to lose her position as House Speaker to John Boehner??
I don't know about the rest of you but I am not that angry at the Dems that I'm willing to sell my future and the future of my family to that extremist party to make a point. Those Dems won't get it anyway since most of them are rich and they'll be ok whoever is in charge. I am the who should be terrified since I am the one who will suffer the consequences for years to come and middle class people just like me. So, since I am broke, I have a family, and I am unemployed I CAN'T afford to sit on my hands and do NOTHING.
I hope some of you who are disillusioned with Congress and the Presidency so far take a moment to look at what we would be replacing them with.
