Remember when Hillary “cried” in New Hampshire and said she didn’t want to see our country go backwards? I always thought that was an odd comment, but now I think she knew this all would happen. Because we sure as heck are going backwards!

And yet the usual suspects are already gearing up to reelect this piece of shit. Even in my circle of friends and acquaintances (who are better informed than the average Dem and most definitely do NOT think Obama is doing a “fine job”), I can count on one hand the number of people who’d seriously consider voting third party in 2012. Sure, in the aftermath of news like this, there’s a lot of talk about how Obama is going to have to earn their vote, but just wait until the next Republican outrage…
As bad as Obama is, the Republicans are worse, and when the choice comes down to stopping the Republicans or voting Green, most Dems are going to do the former, no matter how disappointed they are in Obama and the Dems. It would be different if there was a third party candidate with an actual chance of winning, but given the dismal showing of the Green party in recent elections, voting Green is widely regarded as throwing away your vote or registering a protest vote. And considering the dangerous extent to which the GOP has departed from reality, most liberals and progressives feel that’s something they can’t afford to do. So like I said before, we’re totally fucked.
The only possible hope I see is a larger-than-life FDR-style third party candidate, ideally someone with working class roots. Unfortunately I don’t see such a candidate looming on the horizon. The only other alternative would be to take back the Democratic party. What d’ya think the chances of that happening are?

I could see myself voting for Anthony Weiner, for the same reason everybody voted for Obama: I like his speeches.
I don’t know that he’d be able to get anything I’d approve of done while in office. At least he wouldn’t be calling it a victory.

I think at this point it’s better to have a Republican in the WH. Because so-called liberals and Dems will actually FIGHT a Republican who tries to screw them over — witness Wisconsin.
Whereas when Obama froze pay for federal employees and then passed tax hikes on the poor and on govt workers — who protested? At all? Lots of hand wringing but that’s it.

I would like to see Obama lose and the dems take back the house and hold the senate. Its the only way the Dems will even attampt to hold the rethug agenda at bay. The fact that a Dem president is on board with, if not leading, the rethug agenda, has neutered the dem Senate and destroyed the democratic congress that existed just 1 and a half years ago.
Furthermore, I think getting rid of Obama is the first step in taking back and rebranding the democratic party. As long as he is in office the plutocratic rethug agenda will continue at warp speed.

I am this close to volunteering for the Donald’s campaign!
I don’t even care what Trump does as president, as long as he beats BO and humiliates the whole crooked Brazile-fronted demrats.
Revenge, it’s almost as good as justice. -

No doubt everything that was said about third parties today was said about the, er, Republicans, back in the day when Whigs roamed the earth. The situation may be more fluid than we think. Every illegitimate regime that has ever been was invincible. Until it wasn’t.

Can anyone here honestly say they are surprised by this?
I didn’t think so.

My only strategy for 2012 is to vote for things, like policy I want.
