Once again, we see just how screwed we are as a nation: Dems and their lassitude lost another election because too many of them were too f***ing lazy to cast a f***ing ballot. So now we have a corporate whore, lobbyist, and proto-Teabagger winning the FL-13 special election. And he won because Teabaggers and “Republicans” turn out and vote in off-year elections, but Dem voters can’t be bothered to spend a few minutes to vote, once every couple of years.
And it’s not like Democrats don’t know about the problem; Hell, the punditocracy is constantly talking about it. Obama has been bringing the issue up ad nauseum. And when Dems get off their asses, they tend to win.
But this time, the lazy left and slothful center have once again screwed the pooch by inaction. Another corrupt, lying, partisan Wingnut is headed to a Congress that is already full of such creatures. And a sensible, factual, hard-working public servant is staying in Florida.
It is the fault of lazy voters who are so stupid, unmotivated, and useless that they can’t even scribble on a piece of paper and mail it; or drive a few miles and poke at a computer screen for two minutes.
F*** all “citizens” who let us down this week. And the same for all those who do the same later this year.

That is it in a nutshell. I am sick and tired of the rightwing propaganda encouraging people to not vote for a Democratic candidate because they are not the perfect progressive. The right has been extraordinarily effective in depressing Democratic voters since the Nixon years using the “they are all crooks” theme while energizing the right wing nut voters that Democrats will take away their guns and prayers while killing babies.
We see it here on the progressive blogs all the time with the anti-Clinton propaganda. I am all for calling out Democrats when they side with the corporations, but out right saying you will not vote for Clinton if she wins the Democratic nomination is right wing propaganda. It also depresses the vote for all Democrats when we see that sort of thing over and over. Another example, is the complaining about Ms. Sink. Saying it is all her fault is playing right into the GOP playbook to suppress Democratic voters. I have less problem pointing out the problems of the state Democratic organizations. Some of them seem like they are operated to help the GOP win, that includes my state of Ohio.
Great post. Thanks.
Suck b*lls f@g lover. Like my edits, I like yours!
