because there will be blood on your hands and people will suffer. Oh, you say, "but people are dying and suffering now" and that may well be true, but it will be a drop in the bucket compared to what will happen if the Republicans gain control of everything: the Presidency, the Senate, the House, and the Supreme Court. Then the poor and the needy, anyone who cherishes the values and ideals of the Democratic Party will know what hell really is.

I live in Wisconsin, so I know what it's like to endure a Republican takeover, but at least we have recall here. If the Republicans take over on the federal level they will follow the example of the GOP here in Wisconsin and they will pay homage to their corporate masters as they work quickly and surely to dismantle any and all Democratic social programs.

Imagine someone like Bachmann or Palen holding important government positions. Imagine a Republican president naming someone to the Supreme Court, replacing a Liberal justice. Imagine the Tea Party holding great influence with a Republican President and Congress. Imagine what will happen to abortion rights, gay rights, and what they will do to teachers and education.

Certainly many of us are disappointed with Obama. I know I have been. In a perfect world we would have many choices as to who we wanted to be our next president and many would be possible. But this is not a perfect world, far from it, and the truth and reality of the matter is that the next President of the United States will either be Barack Obama or the Republican nominee. That's it.

So anything you do that does not help to elect Obama only goes to help elect the Republican. That's your choice, but at least have the guts to own your choice, and realize that no matter how bad things may seem now or how imperfect they may be from a Democratic purity point of view they will be light years worse in a Republican controlled Washington from top to bottom.

It may suck, but it is a simple as that.

24. **** that.
   
IF (for the first time in my life) I withhold my vote from Obama because of his ****ing with SS, the blood is on HIS hands, not mine.

And if that causes more pain down the road - well, people wake up when they are in pain. Any country that would put up people like Palin or Bachmann NEED a ****ing wake up call.

49. I voted for him and now I have blood on MY hands. If I didn't vote for him and he still won
   
I would only indirectly have blood on my hands.

So it seems that either way I have blood on my hands.

Yes the conditions in Wisconsin where there is no enough money to fund more teachers and smaller class sizes due to Governor Walker must be stopped at all costs.

Gee, DUmbass, I kinda like the prospect of that. 

On the other hand, seeing as how you hit on all of the fear talking points and managed to slide Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin's names into your post, I think you may be more mole than DUmmie.

Call it a hunch

You mean witnessing everything in the state get almost instantly better, proving Socialism just doesn't work? Yeah, I can see how that would feel like oppression to you.

Yeah i got addicted to those sugar cubes when visiting my grandmother in my youth. Was always able to throw a few in my tea when her backed was turned. I guess you could say I was pure naughtiness!!!! :-)
