Obama Gay Marriage Stance Presents Early Character Test For 2012 Election

There are only two choices. If anyone thinks Mitt and the Mormon church will be less discriminatory than they have in the recent past then make your vote count.

===============================================

Just as so many Democratic voters showed up in 2008 (10 million) to put who they believed was a progressive black man in the White House to undo what Bush, Cheney and Republicans had done in the previous years and then in 2010 when Democratic voters turned incumbent Democrats out of office, threw Blue Dogs out in huge numbers (liberals only lost 3 seats), the 2012 election seems to moving again in that direction.  With Blue Dogs being tossed out.  

As an old, OLD liberal Democrat (a 'New Deal' Democrat) who has never voted for a Republican, never will, I can honestly say that I can't imagine ever voting for a Democrat again.  I'll certainly never vote for any incumbent Democrat again, Blue Dog or other.

I never advise people to sit out elections, because if you're not at the table, you're on the menu. It's what p!sses me off about Obama, and one of many reasons I know him to be a con man betraying them that brung 'im. Because by shutting out liberals, the base, from his administration, by taking single payer, a public option, off the table, eliminating regulatory oversight from finance reform legislations, he's given pro-corporate, Republican-like policies an inside line. The People's advocates can't even get in the door of this government.

And just as Obama is accusing Romney of flip-flopping on issues, so has Obama flip-flopped and reneged on campaign promises.  The irony is that, if past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior, Romney's record as governor isn't all that dissimilar from Obama's in the White House.  There were even moments of liberalism to Romney's record (gun control, state co-pays for abortion, etc.) - Certainly more progressive than Obama.

And let's not forget that it's Obama who has put Social Security and Medicare on the table for cuts.
