Lemme see what Progressives can hope for...
The war in Vietghanistan? It will go on.. troop costs (not counting blood and bodies) of $100 Billion a year.

Health Care Reform... Shiiiiit, they'll repeal the flaccid HCR we got, or defund it.

War on Drugs... Hell yes.... except for proper 'Murikan drugs like alcohol.

DADT... Them homersexurals will be out of the military.

Tax cuts for the Rich... Count on it!

The banks? The mortgage mess? Hey, what's a few $Trillion among friends.

The corporations?... Oh, yeah! They own it ALL now.

A speedup in fucking the poor.... They're looking forward to it.

The middle class? Goodbye middle class.

Shit.

Our local library levy got voted down... would have cost our house $22 per year.
The letters and on-line postings on our local paper were filled with foaming assholes complaining about how taxes were killing the country. I posted that piece that USAToday did that showed we now pay the lowest taxes since 1950, and pointed out that the Afghanistan war is costing every man, woman, and child in our state $325 this year.

I got crickets....

This fucking country is full of people too dumb to vote in their own interest.

2. Why should a progressives vote be more important than anyone else - we're a minority in a democracy

3. Where did you see that in my post?....
I think I indicated that many people are dumber than shit and vote against their self-interest.

Want to disagree with that?
