   Perhaps it is time for Obama to Sashay A

    ...   
      
    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.
