Reply #12: Who the hell cares what Repubs and fundamentalists call them? [View All]

[Selatius]

I want leaders who don't waffle, who don't give a damn what the detractors say. I want someone who has got the writing on the wall for every single person to see a mile away.

The simple fact of the matter is that the US population strongly disagrees with Congress interjecting itself into this personal affair, and where are our so-called Democratic "leaders"? What's the message they got for us? Because it seems the only clear message I'm getting from anybody is from the Republican side of Congress which is some garbled, twisted, hypocritical, God-forsaken version of "we value life" blaring over and over again.

I want someone who isn't afraid to be called names. Do you care if the person who hates you most calls you a killer?

If you were a black person living in the South in the 1950s, would you give up the idea of going to college because racist white folks say that you are too stupid and mentally inferior to make it? No, you wouldn't care! You'd soldier on regardless of what they said!

Republicans are called a shitload of names, but that didn't stop them from doing what they said they'll do. The "leaders" of Democratic Party are nothing if they cannot even stand up. I want people who can stand and brave the fire, not run off the battlefield at the sound of a pop.
