I've pointed it out many many times and will continue to do so...the people who put Obama into office DID "vote with their brains".  We didn't have a choice in the matter. Or, rather, we only had one.  Even Glenn Beck says that Obama was a better choice than McCain! 


(CBS)  In an interview for the inaugural installment of @katiecouric, the new Web show hosted by Katie Couric, Glenn Beck said that he thinks "John McCain would have been worse for the country than Barack Obama."

Beck, the Fox News personality, radio host and author, also said that he may have voted for Hillary Clinton over McCain had Clinton been the Democratic nominee in 2008.

"I can’t believe I’m saying this, I think I would have much preferred her as president and may have voted for her against John McCain," Beck told Couric.

Prompted to elaborate by the CBS Evening News anchor and managing editor, Beck said he thinks "McCain is this weird progressive like Theodore Roosevelt was."

"I think John McCain would have been worse," he continued, laughing. "How about this? I think John McCain would have been worse for the country than Barack Obama. How’s that?"


*********

That may very well be the ONLY thing on which  I will EVER agree with Mr. Beck.  But the whole "Obama's supporters think he is the messiah/anyone who doesn't hate him is a drone" mantra is entirely an invention of the other side. 

Do you actually think everything would be hunky-dory right now if McCain and (shudder) Palin were in office?

As for that whole "vote out the incumbents" thing - it would work better if we had more than two parties.

Those that voted for Palin voted with another part of their body.

Bill Clinton had the economy roaring.  That didn't stop Repugnants from blocking universal health care.  Some Guy, why don't you think your fellow Americans deserve the same right to medical care that we guarantee to Iraqis?  Do you love Iraq more than America?

god i miss riffy!

Actually, it was MY BRAIN that told me McCain had experience and qualifications where Barack had NONE. Therefore, HE was the only logical choice for me as abstaining is not in my character. Both VEEP choices were dolts.

All of these posts and YET AGAIN you choose to quote me. I'm so flattered. I guess I'm the only one making sense!!!!

LJ.

I didn't have that take on Brainbell's post.

The two candidates (Clinton vs McCain) outlined completely different priorities for America's future.
Who cares which one is older or which one has held office longer. I want to know
where the candidate plans to take the nation, and those two had diametrically opposed positions.

There also has to be trust that the candidate is being honest when I listen to them.

Personally, I don't hate W.
I think he is an asshole to accept the nomination for a job he had no business taking.
And his speeches and policy decisions continually pissed me off. He was trying to make sounding stupid become fashionable.
But as a person, I didn't/don't hate him.

None would dare mention Nietzsche, as the only
one among us who has read all of his voluminous
works is across the street re-reading "The Gay
Science" until the Republicans sweep back into
power.

Howe does every other "civilized" country on
the planet do it?  In particular, howe did Great
Britain do it after World War 2 when they were
at an absolute economic nadir? Is every other
country in the world smarter and more efficient
than the USA?



Howe did we plan to pay for TWO presumably
endless wars? Where were the teabaggers when
that plan went into action?
