I remember when Giuliani ran against David Dinkins the second time. Many right-wingers did not like Giuliani and there was also a pretty credible candidate running on the Right-to-Life/Conservative line(s). (All I keep saying all night is “I can’t remember”, but I can’t). My lefty friend and I actually knew more people who were going to vote for the Right to Life Conservative than for Giuliani. Including one Jewish gal who SHOCKED my friend (who was also Jewish) by telling her she would NEVER vote for a pro-choice candidate.
I sympathize with all that, and sadly I did not live in NYC at that time and could not vote for Giuliani. But the fact of the matter is that city was on the edge, the very edge of the abyss and Giuliani DID win and he did pull it back from the edge.
This is not a time for purity, this is a time to get down in the gutter and throw Obama out. Nothing else matters.
The man is a complete and utter failure, or perhaps he is succeeding by his own lights.
He’s been essentially lawless in office, the press covers for him so shamelessly they should just show up at the press briefings naked, he cannot hide his heartfelt contempt for this country, he hates our friends and loves our enemies. He needs to be given the gate.
Like I said before, if you live in one of the locked-in states vote for Gary Johnson or whoever. Otherwise, if you don’t want 4 more years worse than the last 4, you need to pull the lever marked “R”
You got that right on the money. I remember the disgusting results of the 92 election; we probably could have erased GHWs screw ups in another 4 to 6 years, but old seegar Billies have lasted a generation and a half.
Some folks just can’t seem to understand the concept of enlightened self interest and self preservation; some times you have to do something a little bit bad to be able to do do something better later on. I would rather take 500 milligrams of strychnine than 500 milligrams of cyanide.
I will get over the strychnine, the cyanide will kill me.
I will survive a Romney, but I have this belief that an Obastard will kill me.
