Note to No Quarter:
Bush’s problem wasn’t his inexperience. The things Bush has done in the White House haven’t been done because he and his team haven’t known that they were doing – they’ve been done because they knew exactly what they were doing, and have been doing those things intentionally.
If Bush’s issues have been about experience, why has his presidency gotten worse and worse over time? Shouldn’t it have gotten better? That right there should show that experience isn’t the issue.
The real problem was his ideology and, thus, the people he surrounded himself with in his administration. Does No Quarter they really think that a President Obama, with people like Edwards, Clinton, Dodd, Clark, etc. as members of his administration and/or advisors, is going to be similar to a Presidency with Bush/Cheney/Rice et. al?
And no, I’m not saying the Democrats who refuse to vote for Obama are racist (isn’t this claim getting a little old? Where has this even been claimed anyway?), I’m saying that they’re blithering morons and selfish asshats who are willing to vote for Bush’s third term just so they can get back at the Democratic Party for not nominating their chosen candidate.
Then there is this consistent thing about “giving a nod to Hillary’s 18 millin voters” or other claims that the Dems are tossing out Clinton’s 18 million voters, presumably because Clinton wasn’t nominated (and I guess had she been, how wouldn’t Obama’s 18 million voters not been tossed out, using the same logic?). I’m not exactly sure what they want here. I’m not sure how Clinton’s 18 million voters make it so that the nomination is her right, whereas Obama’s 18 million voters don’t do the same for him. Otherwise, isn’t Obama and Clinton appearing together itself a recongition of her voters (of course not!).
And no, I’m not shy calling these people who they are now. They’ve had their chance to unite, and they’ve chosen not to. They’ve already said they’ll “never vote for Obama” so there is no longer a reason to pander to them. Instead, they should be called out for who they are: a (very) small group of (very) loud selfish thugs who are trying to ruin the nation for everyone just because their candidate lost.
Luckily, thus far, this election looks like it will be a wide enough victory for Obama so that we don’t even have to think abou these people as a second thought on election day (well, other than to make fun of them some more).
I’m trying to wind down my complaints about this group because, frankly, it’s not worth it. Polls have repeatedly found them such a small group that they’re obviously not impacting the election to any noticable amount, especially if you look at state-by-state polling. All they’re being is loud, which is good for attracting attention and causing disrpution, but nothing else (and of course the media loves any story dealing with democratic disunity, however relegated to the deep, dark corners it is).
I will say this though: if they do somehow cost Obama the election, it will probably completely tear the Democratic Party apart, causing a political realignment in this nation – a realignment which will most likely be far from advantagous to them.
