Younger Voters Shift From Obama

Wednesday, April 25, 2012


That's very kind, but the Supreme Court is lost already.  Please remember that Scalia and Thomas made it through a Democratically-controlled Judiciary Committee and Senate.  And Democrats voted to confirm Alito (58-42) and Roberts (78-22), 

And Obama's appointments are really nothing to defend.  Elena Kagan is the Goldman-Sacks seat, not to mention that she was the 5th vote in rolling back Miranda a couple of weeks ago.

And Sotomayor was with the Scalia-Thomas-Alito faction that boycotted the SOTU - Sotomayor was in Guam, addressing a group of students and swearing in new members of the Guam Bar Association, a first for a US Supreme Court Justice (are you kidding, Sonia, missing the most public showing of US democracy and the 3 branches of government by leaving the US for a 5 day trip to Guam?).

If who gets to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg was such a worry, don't you think she would step down now while it's assured a Democratic president would be choosing?

I have been hearing this same argument for voting the DLC-controlled Democrats into office for the past 25 years, and the party and the government has moved farther to the right each election cycle while the 99% keeps losing ground.  

At my age, there isn't any more ground that I can afford to lose, and Democrats aren't going to protect my meager scraps any more than Republicans.  The best, the only strategy really, is to purge incumbents and support third party candidates.  That's the best I can do for myself and offer to my children and grandchildren.  I think you need to step back and look at the big picture.
