voting in this day and age is like choosing between a turd sandwich and a steaming cup of piss.
either one will leave a bad taste in your mouth, just a choice as to which will be easier to swallow.

@:passinggas:

Maybe its just the poor choices available to you where you live, maybe your area doesn't have a large enough liberal base to support candidates who value people over corporations. Out here we have wonderful and knowledgeable representatives who fight hard for their constituents and believe in the value of the work that they do. We have our share of idiots who place the interests of corporations and conservative talking points above the interests of the people they serve, but they tend to be exiled to the conservative districts, and those voters seem to enjoy suffering the consequences of their poor choices. Also, many of the ballot initiatives involve important decisions that affect the lives and well being of the people of this state, they are choices that really matter.

Registered as Republican.And a very liberal one at that.Still,my conservative views will get me a hug and welcome at any Tea Party rally.We must get Obama out of office.He's destroying our country every day he remains president.Do something good for America,vote him out in 2012.I like the Independent Party,think I might go that way next election.

do you hide that you're gay?

Can you explain to me precisely how Obama is destroying the country? Details are better than vague statements. If you can elucidate perhaps three or four concrete things Obama has done that are 'destroying our country' that might be convincing. Right now, I can't say that I can go along with your idea that voting Obama out of office is good for the country on nothing more than your saying that it is. Given that the Republicans took a budget surplus and turned it into a deficit, cut taxes in a time of war, and deregulated the economy to such a degree that large corporations have been operating with no effective oversight in either the banking or energy production industries for most of the last decade, I'm rather disinclined to believe that the Republicans would do any better if we elected, say, Sarah Palin as President.


While you're at it, can you explain what a liberal Republican stands for these days? I know what Rockefeller Republicans stood for 30 or 40 years ago but what do they stand for now?

Personally, I'd like to replace him with Alan Grayson, or perhaps Anthony Weiner, 10% more Democrats in the House, and a Senate with 70 Democrats. Then we could actually get some real and positive change in this country instead of having to bend over to conservatives and their corporate interests.
