ExiledInIllinois Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) See I don't always get under your skin. But it looks like Obama does. Cool. Obama does with me too! Yet, I am not gonna be like Rush Limbaugh and vote for Elmer Fudd, R, just because he isn't Obama.

Hard not to become cynical but people are trying things - like we know congress will probably never pass campaign finance reform legislation but people are starting up a movement that basically is going to attempt to make large amounts of special interest money, more a detriment and less a benefit- making websites and phone apps where you can find out where any candidate is getting his money. Starting a Meme that disqualifies any candidate who is seen on a TV ad or heard on a radio ad from getting your vote. Setting up sites that where media is cheap like YT where candidates can legitimately dissemination information.

He may be the "nut-job" element of the Democratic party, as Bachman and the likes are, to the Republican party. I suppose none of you have considered the fact that regardless of whether these planned protests are real, or contrived(<--um, reality), the Republicans have exactly 0 motivation to respond to them. In fact, the Republicans have every reason to welcome them because regardless of whether they are real or contrived, they can negotiate based on "the will of the people...look at them in the streets"! Democrats don't seem to realize that: dissension on the right is a good thing for the right, because it energizes the TEA party, and they scare the crap out of the moderates, which in turns makes them less likely to sign up for a weak deal. however, dissension on the left is a terrible thing, because, it demoralizes both the moderates and the far-left, because a Democrat is in the WH. Obama was set up as a Messiah, and he isn't. "Green Jobs" and "Shovel-Ready Jobs" and Obamacare were sold as "not the same old theoretical liberal intellectual, wishful thinking, but practical solutions to problems", and they aren't. There are still the socialist-type Dems who won't admit they were wrong, and, the moderate-type Dems that are pissed at them for that, and for being duped into buying the stupid far-left ideas of professors from Berkley, again. The little, "turtle-without-a-shell" types like Kucinich only serve to exacerbate these divisions, so if he or another easily squishable candidate like Feingold runs, Obama is done. Hillary is the only real chance the Dems have of keeping the Whitehouse. Otherwise, "not Obama" will get elected, just like "not Bush" did. McCain/Palin was the much better choice, right? No. Hillary Clinton/Bill Richardson was the much better choice, and a choice that would have guaranteed a second term. Unfortunately, Democrats decided to let the far-left be in charge of picking their nominee, and you know what happens Gene, when you let the far left be in charge, right?

You made some statements awhile back re the housing crisis and the real estate and mortgage industries. I asked you what expertise you had in the fields. In fact, after asking you numerous times I still haven't received an answer. Another poster asked you why you hadn't answered me and you told them you had me on "ignore".
