So for the 2014 mid-terms

are you guys going to still hate on President Obama and the party or will you get out and turn out the vote like we did in 2012. Personally, I say we get over this hate and anger towards the President and turn out in force in the mid-terms. Beat these Republican trolls at their own game. Whose with me on this?

won't count for anything. See what we got in 2010 because some stayed home. We all have to encourage each other to make sure we go.

It's not hating on Obama or anyone else to push them in the right direction. Citizenship doesn't begin & end in the voting booth.

The President needs to convince all those people that came out in 08 and 12 just to vote for him that voting for Democrats in the midterms is the same as voting for him. Otherwise 2010 happens again.

"I'll vote for Democrats, but because I don't like what President Obama does/is doing/has done, I won't work to get Democrats elected!"

Because that worked out sooo well for Democrats in 2010!

Hate on Obama. Our side does it to. Or have you not been paying attention to the "If the President" doesn't do this threads, then I'll do Insert your version here.

I'll vote for the best left-of-center candidate on my ballot. If there is a candidate worth supporting, I'll support him or her. If not, I won't.

Obama is irrelevant to the process.

As far as "hate and anger" go, I don't hate, period. It's a self-destructive thing.

Anger? I'll let go of the anger with Obama when he fires Arne Duncan, appoints an actual educator to be Sec. of Ed., and dumps his education deforms, instituting authentic, supportive policies.

I won't be holding my breath, but it's always possible.
