Obama Supporters Should Vote Jill Stein (rant)

Except that it's the leftwing screwing this country up.

Yeah, I know. I'm so ashamed that the left wing in this country lied us into the costly and destructive quagmire in Iraq that cost thousands of our finest and over a trillion dollars, and... Oh, wait, that was your side.

Well, the left wing in this country has systematically destroyed the middle class by busting up all the unions, sending jobs overseas and shifting the tax burden away from the wealthiest 1% onto the backs of future generations and... oh, wait, that was your side.

OK, the left wing has pushed for deregulation, allowing banks to get "too big to fail" and created a system of socialized risk, privatized profits that encourage reckless investments requiring one bailout after another, creating the total economic meltdown in 2008 and... Oops, that's your side again.

Sure, but the left wing has been a disaster on social issues pushing for "no child left behind" and "abstinence only sex education" both of which have proven to be failures and... whoops, your team again.

But then there's the deficit, out of control because of the reverse-Robin-Hood style tax cuts, Cold-War-level military spending and "elective wars" plus the economic down turn which is all the fault of ...your side again.

Sorry, A Theist, but with power comes responsibility. Your team had total control for 8 years and got everything they wanted with no compromises or strings attached. The end result by the close of 2008 was disaster on all fronts.

Also sorry we're not cleaning up the mess fast enough. From 2009-2010, we had two years of gridlock, constant filibustering and heavy compromise to deal with. Maybe if your team wasn't throwing monkey wrenches into the machine every chance they get, we might be able to do better.

When are conservatives going to admit that your policies, from trickle down to abstinence only, don't work?
