https://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2015/04/13/ok-fine-hillary-sure-so-long-as-it-isnt-a-fing-repub-in-the-white-house/Nothing else at the link today.
This writer doesnt give a happy monkey f*** about Benghazi, Monica, Emails or the Clenis. He just knows the Teapublicans would completely f*** us all sideways, with a rusty file and a sandy lubricant. So hell vote for anybody who can beat any Republican.
Since the 1970s, the GOP has gone farther to the right than Attila the f***ing Hun (and has probably killed more people than he did, to boot). The party of yesteryear has become a criminal enterprise bent on wealth acquisition and power accretion, and adopts the policies that serve those two purposes. They are a load of bipedal toxic waste sources, spewing destructive filth wherever they go.
So if we gotta have Hillary, thats OK. She at least will not want to starve the poor, invade the rest of the planet, monitor our genitalia, give all of our tax money to the 1%, take away our health care, have gays shot, or all of the other things Republicans DO want to do. Bonus: shed nominate jurists who would be far less bats***crazy than what wed get from a Teabagger Prexy.
You may detect herein a lack of enthusiasm. Youd be correct. This writer wasnt and isnt smitten with Obama, and he wasnt all that crazy about Bubba either. Decent people doing a decent job overall, in both cases, and thats about it. Good enough.
You know what? Good enough is wayyyyyy better than the alternative. Good enough is better than anything wed get from Rubio, Cruz, Huckabee, Paul, Trump, or any of the other crooks wed get from the Elephants.
Good enough is good enough. If HRC gets on the ballot, your humble correspondent will vote for her. Because any other vote is a vote for the painful reaming mentioned in the first paragraph.
And f*** THAT.

There are lots of "pro" and "anti" threads out there, but not a lot of "ABAR" ones.

(37,428 posts)5. Yep. I'll settle for a slow walk toward the cliff instead of a sprint...
...but we are running out of time for placeholder presidents and congresses to continue failing to reverse our course.
We need our next president to be about five times the president of any of her predecessors...or the next one will need to be ten times better.
