Martin Sheen Has Harsh Words For Progressives Critical Of Obama

The election is still 8 months away, and much can happen, will happen, before I have to decide who to vote for.  In my decades of voting, I've never voted for a Republican, no matter what initial is after their name, and I can't see any circumstance where I would vote for Obama, incumbent Democrats, DLC-controlled Democrats.  When Obama supporters talk about voting for him/them because he and they are "the lesser evil", I ask "On what issue?"

When women can no longer get an abortion in 92% of the counties in the U.S., what difference does it make which party is in power to those who are past menopause or can afford to send our daughters to Paris for an abortion?

When Obama and Democrats practice Republican foreign policy (expanding wars and codifying neverending war in which to justify removing Americans' Constitutional rights, etc.), what difference does it make which party is in power?

When Tim Geithner, Henry Paulson or some other Wall Streeter would be the Treasury Secretary under either a Republican or Democratic president, what difference does it make which party is in power?

When neither party has on its agenda getting money out of politics, eliminating corporate personhood, publicly funding elections, etc., then both parties are protecting the status quo.

When both parties kick 'hot potato' issues that are wrecking the lives or ordinary people down the road or to the states or to the courts yet always manage to meet corporate lobbyists' demands, it really doesn't matter which party gets into power.

So to many who could never imagine voting for a Republican, when Ron Paul talks about ending the Federal Reserve and not interfering militarily, financially or covertly in the affairs of other nations should he get to the Oval Office, his position on abortion becomes irrelevant and Paul might seem the lesser of the evils.

Just sayin'.
