What I’m stuck with is figuring out which is the lesser of 2 evils. Actually it’s now dow to which one pisses me off the most and right now that’s Obama! His “Hillary’s voters will cross over and support me, while the reverse isn’t true”, reminds me of the spoiled 11 year old who strikes out and in a fit of rage takes his bat and ball home–thus spoiling everyone else’s fun. For the good of the party as well as the country–he shouldn’t play that card. If he’s the nominee, I’m going to have a hard time getting motivated to show up in November–<strong>oh that’s right, my choice is living under more Repug Rule!</strong> Then again, I’m not exactly inspired by Hillary either–<strong>oh that’s right, my choice is living under more Repug Rule!</strong>. Where are those 72% who are happy with either of the candidates as the nominee? I am definitely not one of them.</p> I got no problem that my candidate sucks, but then again–he’s already left the race! What I’m stuck with is figuring out which is the lesser of 2 evils.

Pretending you know everything about the Clinton’s marriage, and being able to declare it is definitely bogus or whatever makes you a part of the Britney generation to me, and it definitely sucks.

I’m thinking your candidate’s health care proposal has been dumbed down in pursuit of the indigent young and the Blue Dogs and Indpendents in primary season, and that really sucks.

Now, somebody who can’t see that… sucks. So, as much as I hate to say it, the problem with your candidate is that you suck.</p> It’s not that your candidate sucks so much, but that you can’t tell how much you are being pandered to and manipulated.

I really don’t get it. Isn’t that a private/emotional matter that has nothing to do with anything we care about from a political perspective? Maybe their relationship is founded on something other than sex? So what? Why the hell should we worry about that? That’s so primitive anyway - and there are far more important things in life.</p> Why does anyone care about the fact that Hillary apparently doesn’t place sexual fidelity at the top of her list of priorities?
