cali: I will never support a president on everything he does...

[dutch508]

I am not sure you can say this on DU. Cali basically comes out and says that Barry lies. I know we all know that- but that is Verbotten in der DUmp.

I will never, ever ****ing ever understand supporting everything a president says and does.
and there are lots of people who do just that. I think it's a very, very dangerous mindset rooted in personal loyalty, not any coherent political philosophy.

Supporting things that a democratic president does that you'd oppose if he/she were a republican, is an obvious example. Supporting falsehoods, excusing things like proposing a chained CPI or retaining tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, supporting bad "trade" deals, etc, etc.

I don't get it. I'll never get it. I've never felt that kind of abject fealty and adoration for a politician- not Wellstone or anyone else.

It's a sickness to devote yourself blindly to a politician.

And it goes way beyond DUers, so don't think this is just about DU

predictably, they go ape-ship.

I think cousin nadin needs to sit back and watch the bitter old Vermontese cali primitive to see how she does it, in attracting and holding an audience, learning from one of her betters.

Vermont.....the least religious state in the union....you would have never guessed that.....right?

Damn good trolling if you ask me.

The big problem with that plan is that most of her betters are on the ol' iggy list.

Cali has had a lot of unhappy threads lately, calling out progressives for not being purists and walking the talk.

Obama did many of these things in his term. If you voted for him in 2012 despite knowing that, then you are a liar. By voting for him the second time, you implicitly gave him your approval for all those things you claim to not support. Cali ~ Lying Scrunt.

Well, she had to vote for him, because, you know, he's half one of those politically-correct, uh, ethnic groups.  She had no choice; she had to vote for him.

But, Obama has violated some of the core so-called principles of the left, yet they still bitterly cling to their support of him. 

I disagreed with President Bush mainly on spending, but he had my support in most areas.

I think basically everybody here disagreed with George Bush on one thing or another, or on many things, but when considering the alternatives, one was compelled to support him.

It's because principles aren't, really, important to the primitives.

The color of one's skin is all that counts to the primitives.

It seems like there are more purists on the left than on the right.

Well, cali is an unhappy DUmmy. Things have been going straight downhill for her ever since she wallduded herself out of a job during the Vermont earwig swarm.

After the wallduding, in a drunken stupor she fell and shattered her leg.

She's such a hateful old bitch, she has no friends or family around to help, so she had to drag herself around trying to get help, probably aggravating the injury.

The injury didn't heal properly so she claims to be in constant pain (there is justice in the world).

She uses the alleged pain as a means to obtain narcotic pain medications, to which she's now hopelessly addicted.

I hope Eva shares more of her real-world life with us; it's so enjoyable to hear about DUmmies in dire straits.
