rather than choosing between two conservatives.

12. I think they made it pretty obvious they would not vote Republican.
I don't see why you would believe that they owe Obama an endorsement on national television when he has not demonstrated the desire to do anything progressive.

19. What difference?
What difference does it make if the choice is Obama or a conservative Republican?

11. Fuck em!
They have been jealous from day one. They will sit home in 2012 and if something bad happens like a Republican then they will cry and bitch about it and at the same time take no responsibility.

I have no use for these two.

14. I'll tell you who I am going to vote for in the primaries and it won't be '0'
If there is no contender I will write in Grayson-Sanders or Sanders Grayson.

17. I agree
Unless something majorly positive happens to change my mind (which I doubt), my intention at this point is to write-in Sen Bernie Sanders in the general election.

16. They've always been jerks about Obama
Mostly because he hasn't kissed their asses.

The Big O doesn't need to kiss their asses because he has all the Obamabots/DNC kissing his ass.

23. West campaigned for him.
And as far as their criticism that he hasn't done enough for black working people, they're right.

27. Remember this when voting for Anybody But Obama.
Supreme Court Justice. No way do I want Repubs making that choice. That is too important and I will vote for Obama, even when he doesn't always come through for me, simply for that reason. This country can't afford another Thomas or Alito.
