While I have already decided I won’t be voting for any Democratic candidates at the federal level this year, I’ve seen no reason not to be willing to consider those at the state level … for the most part (Deb, that whole idea of turning our school system into jails for those young adults between 16 and 18 is a horrible idea. I cannot and will not ever support that type of governance.)

Problem is that just as I thought I could leave the “surrender monkey” mantra behind along comes an Islamic cultural center (including mosque), and immediately such stalwart (not) “leaders” of the Democratic Party as Obama and Reid can’t wait to toss innocent people overboard in an attempt to appease the bigots of the reactionary and radical right wing … just like Peter “the weasel” Welch did when he joined his right wing  buddies in destroying an organization built by the efforts and dreams of hard working Americans across this nation.

Welch helped destroy ACORN and to this day uses the same lies (and yes we know they were all lies) today to justify his weasel actions a year ago that were based on lies (and yes we know they were all lies).

Obama, Reid and any other Democratic surrender monkey willing to pander to this hateful screed of death and destruction pouring from the political hatemongers of the right are out to literally destroy the Constitution of the United States. And any other politicians willing to stand by and let this happen are just as guilty.

So here is my litmus test for all state level candidates for any office: What is your stance on the actions taken and words spoken by Obama, Reid and others that say this now famous not even built yet cultural center (including a mosque) shouldn’t be built where and as proposed?

How to pass: in simple to understand, unambiguous language stand up for the constitution, what is right and progressive values (and yes – I’m looking for a total refutation of Obama’s about face and Reid’s outright surrender).

How to fail: stand up for the bigots of the reactionary, radical right; Obama and Reid … or don’t even bother commenting … or equivocate.

Pass? You might get my vote.

Fail? You will not get my vote under any circumstances.
