Well now he is in whine mode. Telling us that we "cannot sit this one out" and how vitally important it is that we keep the Republicans out of power so they don't "take the nation backwards" just as we are "making progress". Normally I would agree with that. But then he goes on to scold progressives and liberals like myself for being more than a bit unhappy with the performance of the past 2 years. He says we are "not serious". My news to him is this- we ARE serious and we are seriously sending YOU a message about you and your party's lack of performance over the past 2 years. For the most part, I still feel like I live in GW Bush's America. That hopey changey thing ain't workin out so well.
Despite the fact we gave the Democrats HUGE majorities in the House and Senate and put a Democrat in the White House, little has changed. In fact Obama has not only adopted most of the Bush policies but he has went further than even Bush went when it comes to spying on Americans (he wants a stronger Patriot Act that will forbid you from using encryption unless you turn over your keys to the government) and he has not ended either war (there are still 50,000 troops in Iraq) and of course homosexuals still cannot fight in either war. Oh, and immigration reform went nowhere.
Now a hurricane is approaching and the Democrats are about to get historically smashed. If they lose 50 seats, that will be doing good. They may lose 100 seats. And all we hear is our President whine and scold. If they had done what they were supposed to do over the past 2 years, maybe more of us would bother to vote. I am voting but do not blame anybody who is liberal for sitting this one out.
Some of Obama's supporters whine that he's unpopular in spite of his accomplishments. I say he's unpopular because of them. On almost anything on Obama's agenda the voters are about two to one opposed to him. He ran as a moderate and is governing like a European Socialist. Why he and his party are circling the drain shouldn't really be all that much a mystery to him. Anyway, that's how I see it.

As much is posted by liberals about how the Ginrich (spelling) republican congress didn't act in the manner the voters wanted them to. I say to you, welcome to the party. Now you know how we felt.
That is why we are looking for real consevatives not, RHINOs

when the Pres has lost Kev K's interest, he's lost a lot of Liberal folk out there. I am too very disappointed in the President vis a vis the gay rights that he promised us. We still don't have ENDA, repeal of DADT or Doma. If this had been Loser Bush, he would have been crowing to the rooftops aobut that he had "political capital" that he has to do whatever the hell he wants to do. Obama was too timid and wasted a lot of political capital imo. But the relentless use of the GOP filibuster didn't help either. I suppose that it would have been much worse under Mccain-Palin though. I will hold my nose when I vote for Obama again and will not donate one red cent to his weak spine self.

The real world is concerned about a lot more important things then your so-called gay rights.
