“But I have to say, I’m pretty close to giving up on Mr. Obama, who seems determined to confirm every doubt I and others ever had about whether he was ready to fight for what his supporters believed in.”

I hate George Bush. I hated him from the first time I saw his tiny little face. I spent eight years hating every single thing he did, and I cried on November 4, 2008 because I really thought our country had somehow lucked into the right leader at the right time, and it was all going to be okay.
This past year has hurt so much. I feel almost personally injured by the president’s complete lack of action on anything. Any one damn thing. I’m starting to hate him too.
I’m not that disappointed, since I never expect much from ANY politician. I was thrilled to see a black man elected President–especially Obama, because I think he’s a genuinely good man, but I knew he had unrealistic expectations. I’ve said all along that our system is too broken to fix. I have no hope. I gave up about halfway through Duh-bya’s reign.
Yes, I think the level of corruption is so bad, America is like a ship that has taken on too much water to stay afloat. We are no longer a Democracy but an Oligarchy. And those Oligarchs are the corporations who have absolutely no social responsibility.
Conservatives readily accept this concept. When you have roughly half the population believing that healthcare is a privilege and not a right, while at the same time accepting a constant state of war as normal, you’re living in a pretty screwed up society.
I’m just hoping my wife and I can simply live out our frugal existence without being made homeless over a major illness. And that’s the pathetic country we live in where that is possible.
I have never been more disgusted with the Democratic Party. They are literally one roll-call vote from getting a pretty good start on healthcare reform done, and they’re chickening out. I’m done giving them money. I’m done voting for them. The party needs o go out of business, and we’ll start something new.
“I’m done voting for them. The party needs o go out of business, and we’ll start something new.”
If a third party would ever have a chance, I’d agree. But since they never do, you’d might as well vote Republican. Democrats have this uncanny ability to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. We give them a super-majority and they STILL let the other side call the shots. I’m with you there, it’s really disgusting.
If for no other reason, vote against Republicans just to piss them off. At least in your own mind you can say you struck a blow against their stinking ideology.
