       ...               MM> former Governor Romney may be very hostile to LGBT        MM> Americans there are good omens why perhaps President Obama        MM> needs to leave the stage of the presidency.               You lose.               MM> For the next two years we will have a Democratic Party US        MM> Senate so whatever Romney wants, Romney will not get. If        MM> you like the obstructionism the Republicans gave to        MM> President Obama, expect more obstructionism by the        MM> Democrats.               Nope. In face, David Broder, republican shill, wrote a column        supporting Romney on just that basis. The republicans in the        house are so evil they will not support Obama no matter how good        Obama's policy, no matter how much voting no hurts the country.        Democrats, OTOH, will work for the good of the country.        Therefore, Romney will get the support of the republicans in the        house, and the cooperation of the democrats in the Senate. Obama        will get the support of democrats in the Senate, and the        obstruction of republicans in the house.               Therefore, vote for Romney, the candidate of evil.               Ok, those weren't his words exactly, but that's what it comes        down to.               ...               MM> Democrats. Perhaps Harry Reid will tell Romney, you want        MM> some of those tax cuts, perhaps the servers and waiters        MM> deserve their tipped minimum wage increase to $4.00 an hour        MM> instead of the measly $2.65,               Broderevil.               MM> and you want some of that war in Iran?        MM> Perhaps we can offer employment nondiscrimination        MM> for LGBT Americans in exchange for that President Romney.               I certainly hope not. That would be not only truly evil, but        truly stupid.               MM> I may not be a fan of either major political partys        MM> nominees in 2012, but perhaps we will get change when the               Real change does not mean as much change as you want. I am        disappointed in Obama also, but his greatest crime is trying to        cooperate with the republicans when he should just act when he        can to do what is right.               MM> Democratic Party stops sending lip service to marijuana        MM> activists or even peace activists where even Cindy Sheehan        MM> questioned the lack of people protesting against war since        MM> Obama has been elected for his first term. Its ironic that               Yep. People were disappointed. They were not hurt as much as        they would have been had McCain won.               MM> President Obama won the Nobel Peace elected for his first               That was just because the world was so sick of Bush.               ...               MM> Perhaps for progressives maybe the best thing to do is not        MM> vote for Obama, in safe states obviously. If you live in        MM> Utah or Alabama feel free to vote for Jill or Rocky or even        MM> Roseanne. We should have candidates to stand on principle               Not progressives. Maybe libertarians and maybe even greens, but        not progressives.               MM> in future elections so we can support candidates that we        MM> can truly believe in. Why vote for a candidate that you        MM> will regret voting for?               Nader doesn't regret taking votes from Gore. Yet hundreds of        thousands died because he did. Voting for the perfect over the        possible is an exercise in ego.                            BOB KLAHN bob.klahn@sev.org http://home.toltbbs.com/bobklahn              ...
