And Now, A Public Service Announcement On The Alternative To Obama

To everyone who seems to have a problem with President Obama enough to completely abandon the Democrats in 2010, here is a reminder about the people that will end up replacing the current Dems from Yggy:
Sarah Palin delves into America’s racial conflicts:
And that double standard is—and that hypocrisy is another reason why so many Americans are quite disgusted with the political games that are played, not only on both sides of the aisle, but in this case, on the left wing, what they are playing with this game of racism and kind of letting Harry Reid’s comments slide, but having crucified Trent Lott for essentially along the same lines[.]
I think this right here shows why it’ll be a generation or two before you see a substantial number of black people voting for the Republican Party. Here’s Palin talking about an issue which is either a pointless partisan sideshow, or else a serious complaint about race in America. But the complaint she offers isn’t a complaint on behalf of African-Americans. It’s a complaint offered on behalf of white southern racists. It’s not that it would be unfair to black people for Reid to remain majority leader rather the problem is that it would be unfair to Trent Lott.
Emphasis is Yggy's.

I understand the need to replace some Democrats with better Democrats.  The current trajectory however is to replace them with even worse Republicans, who will roll back what accomplishments we have managed to achieve with the Democrats we have now.  At some point you have to make a decision about the big picture.  If you're willing to throw Obama overboard now, you will get Sarah Palin and the teabaggers in return.

It really is that simple.
