not sure how much more a lefty can take

[Joseph Tracy]

I am still vice chair of my local dem party org, supported Obama and  
telegraphed my concerns as he hired skunks and ignored his promises  
about Gitmo, ignored the suspension of Habeus, extended our  
occupation of Iraq and endorsed the patriot act.  When I found  
nothing but shit in my Christmas stocking I decided he wasn't going  
to be my kind of big daddy. The party system is a useful fiction that  
let's off steam, both funded by the same corporate interests.

Better than Palin is not my standard of leadership; if that is good  
enough for people that is what they will get.  Right now it is the  
Democrats who are inviting the reascension of the fascists by  
endorsing corruption and corporate rape instead of using the dramatic  
failures of corporate capitalism to make serious changes.
