Post #349,633 by rcareaga 10/26/11 10:04:19 AM Reply	What John Cole said: This is one of the reasons I get so frustrated with the pissing and moaning and the ÂOh, Obama has let me downÂ bullshit from our progressive betters in the comments here and elsewhere. ItÂs like they just donÂt understand that we all agree the Democrats arenÂt perfect, that we realize the Democrats are pretty bad on a lot of issues, and we realize that in many cases they are just as beholden to corporate interests, and that we realize that Democrats do a lot of really stupid shit and are not serving their constituents well. We get all that. I understand that completely and agree with those sentiments. The fail is plainly visible. For every bright spot like Franken or Sanders or Sherrod Brown, there is a Nelson or Landrieu or McCaskill. But that doesnÂt change the fact that THE OTHER FUCKING PARTY IS CRAZY. And IÂm not saying that just to be hyperbolic. They are nucking futs. Lunatics. Insane. http://www.balloon-j...25/kthug-gets-it/ cordially,

Makes for a fun campaign platform though: "Vote for me. I'm throughly rotten, but not foaming at the mouth yet. My opponent is NUTS!!" This line of argument seems as trivial and stupid as the B&B song and dance team's "Well, the other guy did it too" routine. It's probably just me, but "Well, occasionally he does something that isn't completely rotten" just doesn't seem to do it. I probably cut the civics class, those years ago, where they explained why this is just ducky. Never mind...

Hold your nose and vote for the not insane candidate, and then as soon as the election is over invade the party so you can kick the bagmen out. "I voted, therefore it's democracy" is a bullshit sentiment. You've got to participate, and voting is not participation.
