Balls and Walnuts
more than you ever wanted to know
Pegged to a tee, and don’t forget the contest
My music contest is still running. Where are all my gentle readers? Or do you all hate Jonathon Coulton?
From today’s Daily Kos, front-pager Laurence Lewis has me pegged to a tee on the question of why I’ll be voting in November:
Recent polls show more and more Democrats coming home, but it is not because they are suddenly much happier with the way Democratic leaders have handled the issues, it’s because they recognize the danger of an increasingly extremist Republican Party. It’s because they won’t be dissuaded from fighting for their own values and principles, even when they believe their own party’s leaders aren’t always joining them in the fight. In some cases, they will vote for more Democrats not because of the Democratic leadership, they will vote for more Democrats despite the Democratic leadership. In short, this is a moment for the Democratic base to prove that it is above the pettiness and the political games, a moment for the Democratic base to make its collective voice heard by saving the Democratic leadership from the political fallout of its own shortcomings.
Read the whole thing, it’s worth your time.
D.
Likewise; I’m voting in a sort of once-more-into-the-breech mindset… Fuck the teabaggers sideways.
I’m sure they’ll only permit you to fuck them missionary, my friend.
