ThePlayDrive said:Before the election, even though I believed Obama would win, I still wasn't sure. I accepted the possibility that Romney would take the White House and that, with such an election, the country would have somewhat endorsed the path that people like Todd Akin and the like want to take us on. However, with the Obama's election, the passing of SSM in three states, the legalization of marijuana in two states (even though I don't support it) and the defeats of Akin and Murdock, I was reassured that the country was moving forward.
Well, obviously people's impressions of whether or not we're "going forward" depends on their political and social views. I think we're going forward and most voters appear to support that path. As a result, politicians who are resistant to that progress are only hurting themselves.I think "going forward" is a pretty bad way to go in this situation. It's akin to seeing a land mine 5 feet in front of me, but I keep "going forward".
Yeah, I get it - a few Congressional Republicans said some real dumbass things. Does that mean that we need a Congressional flush and to bring in a schedule of unprecedented debt and a complete debacle of the health care industry? If that's progressive, I'll go backward any day.

I didn't equate the opinion of most voters with progression. I equated same-sex marriage, the election of Obama, the legalization of marijuana and rejection of Akin and Murdock with progression. Then, I said that most voters support that progression. Finally, I said that those who are resistant to that progression are only hurting themselves. The rest of your comment is just bitterness, so whatever.I cringe at the idea of equating the opinion of "most voters" as forward progression. Somewhere in England, Churchill is turning in his grave. When he said that the best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with your average voter, he almost seems prophetic for what has happened today. I firmly believe that most people who voted Obama couldn't put 10 constructive words together for why they voted for him that doesn't involve confusion, rhetoric, or absolute falsehoods.
Fortunately, many of these people will be the ones who get bent over in the near future of this administration, and I relish the thought of watching them suffer due to complete lack of the most common of sense.
Looks like your mom got the Internet working again.Cue up the "Out of context" retorts...

Do it Limbaugh! Then your party will become extinct!

Media Matters? Does pbrauer know you're using his source?
who will you lefties demonize with class warfare rhetoric in order to pander to your robotic minions then?
Limbaugh is like the Jedi who quits training before it is complete. the result is that he only seeks data that supports his theory rather than modifying the theory in light of new data.
