I would crawl over broken glass to vote for Obama next year.

[cali]

I may think he's a big disappointment. Sometimes he absolutely enrages me. I don't have much faith that he'll stand up for.... much, but yeah, I can't even imagine not voting for him. There is no other option as far as I'm concerned. Is it a defensive vote? You bet.

All the endless posts about how dreadful he is seem rather pointless to me in the face of the ongoing republican onslaught.

[Liberal_in_LA]

1. I will jump thru fire to vote for Obama

[itsrobert]

2. blown by hot radition spilling from Japan nuke plant onto the sand

?

[Warpy]

3. You're correct, he's been a disappointment

which we knew he was going to be when he appointed Geithner, Summers, and Rahm in his first few days.

However, considering what an absolute horror the GOP is, we have no choice. Sitting it out and letting them win is out of the question.

[The Straight Story]

4. We can complain about our employee without wanting to fire them.

They don't know to change if we don't let them know they are doing something wrong, and us managers/voters, should talk about issues before his 2012 big review.

[yourout]

5. I will get up, get in the car, drive to the polling station, and vote for Obama. But that is it...

no volunteering, no donating, and I will only be doing it because the alternative is unthinkable.

[Bravo Zulu]

6. The alternatives are unacceptable!

Just saying.

[styersc]

7. Of course I'm voting for Obama...

....I'm not really THAT sincere about progressivism, and I have very low self esteem.

He's got my vote.

[cali]

8. I'm voting for him because I am that fucking sincere about progressivism

what's the alternative?

[styersc]

13. "What's the Alternative?" Best Bumper Sticker Yet.

Another, "Obama 2012. Hey, you gotta vote for someone!"

Now that's sincere progressivism.

[BillyJack]

63. Yeah! That's a lotta "meh" right there....

however, we're in a BOATLOAD-A-SH*T right now and we need a LOT more than *meh*.

[Marr]

73. lmao...

That's about it. Pretty sad.

[davidthegnome]

9. So would I

It's sad that it's come to this point - where we'd crawl over broken glass for a President we're not all that pleased with. The alternative though, is so frightening that I'd do just about anything to vote for Obama. Damn I'm tired.

[demmiblue]

10. I will give up my first born to vote for Obama. n/t

[MissDeeds]

59. I'm sorry, but that's just wrong n/t

[Common Sense Party]

92. I'll give up your first born as well. n/t

[joentokyo]

11. Masochists: You find them everywhere.

[malaise]

Masochists would vote for a ReTHUG

president

[Pholus]

12. Ummmm, I'd carefully pick my way through the broken glass to vote for him.

But I'll also still probably vote for him. Remember, however, that candidate Obama asked us to "hold his feet to the fire." With a few less than stellar moments, it's easy to go overboard on the negativity. He's done okay, but not perfect as some here maintain.

[rug]

14. I will step over homeless people to get to the poll.

[jberryhill]

22. And shoot any Libyans in your way

Cute

[Tx4obama]

15. I am happy to have still been alive to see Obama win in 2008, hope I'm alive in 2012 too.

Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 Obama 2012 :) :) :)

[BillyJack]

16. Have 'fun' picking all of that glass outta yer knees

while you bend over and get it in the hind quarters ONCE AGAIN!

I, for one, won't be joining you in your beleaguered 'position'.

[cali]

17. and you won't be posting here either if you oppose him

[BillyJack]

21. This isn't obamaunderground.com, is it? eom

[cali]

24. learn the rules, friend.

[BillyJack]

45. Which DU rules did I cross? Seriously....

:shrug:

[Piperay]

54. None, you didn't violate any

some people just like to dump on others when they have less than 1000 posts because they disagree with them. Its just an intimidation tactic, pure and simple.

[Raine]

84. The poster didn't break any rules

they only stated they would'nt crawl over your precious broken glass ... they didn't even say they anything bad about Obama.

[Raine]

46. It's DEMOCRATIC underground, as long as you don't advocate

the defeat of the official nominee I'm pretty sure you're within the rules.

[BillyJack]

50. hmmmm.....this makes me pause to think......

.

[BillyJack]

62. So, what does one do when they don't want to vote for the awful...

...er, I mean OFFICIAL democratic candidate AND they don't want to vote for the rebuklican side either?

What is a conflicted voter to do? :shrug:

[Lyric]

72. Do what you conscience tells you to do. Just don't admit to it here.

:hi:

[Raine]

82. You can support a third party even say that's what you're doing

but don't say you're working to defeat the Democratic nominee (anyway don't say it here). So far there is no official Democratic nominee. Yeah Obama declared he's running but he hasn't won the nomination yet (he probably will), he could theoretically be challenged by another Democrat. You're right this is NOT the Obama Underground, anyway not yet.

[LooseWilly]

83. You could apply some franchise leverage...

and vote for... Cthulu... Daffy Duck... "My Mom"... if nothing else, it's always entertaining to try to divine the contortions that the DLC and Media Talking Heads will have to employ to rationalize a sizeable vote for Daffy Duck as being a sign that the Democratic Party has to move further Right in order to hold onto voters/power (though, by quoting "consequences, schmonsequences... as long as I'm rich", it might be argued that Daffy Duck is appealing to the Rightward Leaning "independents"... and really has no appeal whatsoever for the Left—who therefore have no alternative to whatever candidate the Democratic Party ... offers them... thus further legitimizing the argument that the Left can go fuck themselves, cause they've got no choice but to smile about it in the end.)

Maybe Pinky and the Brain will choose to run :)

[MissDeeds]

68. Unrec for this lock step mentality

:thumbsdown:

[pacalo]

81. Unrec for a different reason.

Except that I might be saving up glass shards for the exhibition.

[Liberal Veteran]

18. Now that's the spirit I like to see.

And while I have no doubt there are some extremely sincere people, there does seem to be a contingent that wants to demoralize likely voters.

[Pholus]

20. Mixed in with a few likely voters who have been demoralized. It's always messy.

And we're in an online hyperbole forum. Fortunately, we are *all* irrelevant in the real world.

[TheKentuckian]

19. I'll continue to ponder it and make the best vote I can. I'll work for my rep and local folks.

29. Now, now, now... Don't frighten our new friend away right out of the box

[cali]

34. just giving him/her a hearty du welcome.

[jberryhill]

47. Looks like he got the DU "Aloha"

I hear it means hello AND goodbye.

[a la izquierda]

27. Wow, you're just going to throw that out there, huh?

Usually freeps are too wimpy for that.

[Mister Ed]

28. Is it Kristallnacht already?

[jberryhill]

31. Good one

[Pholus]

30. Thank you for the remotivation. I'll gladly pick a *few* splinters out now.

Just to make you howl and gnash your teeth. Prepare to lose again, man.

[Motown_Johnny]

32. ROFL, nice way to uphold American values.

Anyone order pizza?

[HCE SuiGeneris]

33. Yes, you are the epitome of what stands for America in the GOP mindset.

I can see the L (loser) imprinted on your forehead from here.

[xchrom]

35. Clever.

Not.

36. Some people say that inbreeding is hazardous to your health.

[Bluzmann57]

37. AMF

If you don't know what that means, try listening to some old Cheech and Chong. Or better yet, I'll just tell you. Adios Mother Fucker!

[EOTE]

38. Way to represent, freep.

Most trolls here at least pretend to have reasonable thoughts in their head before showing themselves to be hateful idiots with low 2 digit IQs. I much prefer it when you expose yourselves right away. On a side note, you went through the trouble of registration for THAT? Good luck moving out of your mom's basement.

[nc4bo]

39. Wha? You guys haven't flushed the loo on this turd yet? nt

[malaise]

40. Come on pick your flowers quick

:popcorn: :rofl:

41. EXAMPLE OF THE ALTERNATIVE

There you go.

42. why are teapartying freepfucks such cowards?

[fishwax]

43. C'mon, man, that's not even remotely clever. I know Wyoming can troll better than that.

[Generic Brad]

44. The broken glass of your shattered dreams

That would be sweet!

[Mister Ed]

52. Elegant wit! n/t

[jberryhill]

26. I would bomb several countries to vote for Obama!

[Pholus]

48. I was just thinking of a good way to heal the "schism" -- freeper exchange posters!

Seriously, hear me out on this!

A few guys like our guest of a few minutes ago, and we'd pretty much be back arm-in-arm on this one!

[L0oniX]

49. Unrec for the useless drama.

[Pholus]

51. Rec for the lessons it taught.

Edit: The freeper guest is a nice reminder that our little internecine quarrels are small compared to the evil that lurks outside... ;)

[davidthegnome]

55. Rec again for the same reason

And because I agree with the OP

[cali]

56. lol. I see you reccing plenty of "useless drama" thread

[Liberal_in_LA]

77. rec for the useful drama

[spanone]

53. k&r

[leftstreet]

57. part of me just says fuck it, I would crawl over broken glass to vote for Obama

:rofl:

When I logged on, your two threads showed up one right after the other

:rofl:

[inna]

70. glad i wasn't the only one

... who laughed

[Logical]

58. 100% true. Obama is the only choice.

[deutsey]

60. The way things are falling apart in this country, we may just have to crawl over broken glass. n/t

[Auntie Bush]

61. I can't imagine not voting for him, no matter what!

Life would be sh*t with a ReTHUG in office. I can't even Phantom such a world.

[bullwinkle428]

64. Sadly, I find myself in the same boat.

Hurray for defense?

[Little Star]

65. There is no place else for us to go so yes I too will be doing..

what ever is necessary to vote for Obama. Makes me want to puke but there it is.

[Snoutport]

66. I agree... and he does these weird round-abouts that you don't see coming...

like DADT.... just, suddenly, it was sorta done. (but when you've waited all this time for the right to serve...you're used to waiting... and, dangit, they better hurry and just get it finished... but, he does deserve credit for some things that are important to me...)

i liked hillary but support obama. We have no choice.

[inna]

67. I would bomb countries to vote for Obama next year!!!

omfg

throws up

[inna]

69. that was meant to be satire, btw

[Starbucks Anarchist]

75. More like self-parody.

[ZombieHorde]

88. Funny. nt

[upi402]

71. but what would he do for us?

He wouldn't hand us a damn Band-aid as a gesture to the gaping wounds in our knees. That would be better than the salt he's rubbed in over that last 2+ years.
Time to stop enabling our abusers. I'll work in the primary for a real choice to oppose corporatism. But wont vote for him when he gets it. I'll write in Sanders or someone.

[Marr]

74. I plan to have his back just as much as he's had mine.

That answer should please everyone!

[Blue_In_AK]

79. You are a diplomat. :)

[Exultant Democracy]

76. It will depend if I'm registered in CT or CO. nt

[Skittles]

78. "there is no other option" - there's the fucking problem

[GReedDiamond]

80. Are you sure?...

...Through The Night Softly

I am no longer sure about anything.

Again.

[ZombieHorde]

85. There is a good chance I will vote for him, but if there is broken glass, I will push it aside with

my foot.

[WI_DEM]

86. I'll vote for him, but without the same enthusiasm of 2008

but he has been a competent president who has had some solid accomplishments. I think as the first African-American president he felt he needed to be more moderate than I would have liked.

[Cali_Democrat]

87. Just sweep the glass away with a broom

Why hurt yourself?

[vanbean]

89. Me too, But after I voted against him in the primary.

[quaker bill]

90. There will not be a primary

There has to be a challenge for that.

[roman7]

91. its politics but dont lose fatih

the president must be political its the nature of things but that dosent mean he isnt working night & day to push for democratic values. and yes death is the only thing that would keep me from voting for president obama
