The Republicans entirely control the Power of the Purse, and they refuse to use it to rein in Obama.
And yet we're supposed to believe that somehow putting a sad sack Republican in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue will make things different? Please.
And so, I'm back to my argument that re-electing Obama, and letting him boil the frog fast (because he will be in a hurry in the last of his terms) is the best approach.
No way in Hell am I voting for Obama, though. I don't think I could ever wash my hands enough times afterward.

So, do the same thing again and expect different results. Got it.

I think the point is that electing any of these jerks IS doing the same thing.

Personally, yeah, I don't have any confidence in anyone with a chance of getting elected, but with my 2 options being a guy who now has a proven record for being a shitty President, and someone who merely may be a shitty President, the answer is obvious.
Voting for Ron Paul.

I think the other point was: the worse, the better. We're screwed, and everybody knows it. It's like the black hole: the only hope of getting out is to bull right through it as fast as you can.

Well, there is the added bonus that if Obama loses, it REALLY upsets a lot of hippies, and they will be vocal about it and a hippie's tears always make me smile.
