Obama's impossible task
How do you get people to vote for the Ben Nelsons of the world, knowing that if they won’t, everyone in the country will label it as *Your* defeat, even if you’re not even running?!!!!

This country sucks.

1. Obama will reap the harvest he has sown
He enabled the DLC to fuck this party raw the last 2 years. We've been told here for years now that the left is a bunch of fucking retarded, immature, crazed drug-addicts and the Nelsons, Blanche Lincolns, and other assorted Lieberdems were the "realistic" ones.

I am reminded of an old Pink Floyd song:

"And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown.
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone.
And it's too late to loose the weight you used to need to throw around.
So have a good drown as you go down, alone,
dragged down by the stone."

I hope the last few years of Obama hippie punching the left was worth it. Now it is time to reap the whirlwind.

2. Then maybe he shouldn't have been so supportive of those assholes'
campaigns. He had a choice not too long ago to #1- STFU and let "us" decide who we wanted to win primaries, instead he supported known Bluedogs as well as some who actively worked against some of his legislation, #2- he could've actually supported the liberal dems that we tried to run against the assholes, #3- he takes the heat for his own stupid support of conservadems and disrespect for liberaldems.

Looks like he chose door #3 of his own volition. He'll be getting no sympathy from me.

3. If he wanted it bad enough it would happen.
Why aren't those guys in that mine in Chile out yet? Obama clearly doesn't want it bad enough. If he did, they'd already be out.
