Are you voting out of fear?

  • Alan L. Maki

    The problem is... without the Blue Dogs the Democrats have no majorities. Now what? Hold our noses and vote for warmongers and bigots like Collin Peterson who boasts to the media that he is more conservative than any Republican like I would... have to do.
    I would suggest there is a better way of doing this:
    No peace or an end to occupation by Election Day; no votes.
    No jobs; no votes.
    Most working people are employed by managements who are thousands of times scarier than these well-heeled Republicans. Why should we vote out of fear of these Republicans.
    In countries all over the world, two-bit half-assed fascists risk being elected as people vote in multi-party systems and they don't vote out of fear of who might get elected and neither will I.
    Those liberals, progressives and the left who continue urging a vote for the Democrats out of fear of the Republicans should have thought about this a long time ago and not tried to hood-wink people into believing that Obama is something that he is not.
    I would suggest Obama's supporters among liberals, progressives and the left had better make some quick adjustments in their strategy of trying to bully people to give up their votes for a bunch of warmongers based on fear because this doesn't seem to be working.
