Before you throw President Obama out with the bathwater consider that America's right wing is insane. The Tea Party House's despicable actions against the poor, women and education is nothing compared to what could happen if you all stay home in 2012.
Case in point: Here's a comment left on Fox New's Latino themed news site regarding today's federal appeals court decision to uphold the stay that's been placed on Arizona's "show us your papers" law.
..."These incompetent and corrupt Obama adminstration and Congress should be taken over by the patriotic,most disciplined,trusted,loyal, brave US Military in a peaceful, bloodless, orderly, temporary manner to restore the patriotic, honest, loyal, compassionate American leaders that we knew and prevent destruction of our country.
At least she/she said "bloodless!"
Our failure to rally around Barack Obama in 2012 will open up a whole world of trouble for anyone who isn't rich, white, straight, and Christian. Expect the backlash to worsen as changing demographics persist toward more majority minority states.
We can and should support more progressives for office, but let's not forget that the other side -- even their words -- are dangerous. Apathy won't stop the right wing.
