The case for Lysistrata leverage

It is by now plain, to those who would see, that the post-partisan presumptive pre-president is solicitous of the GOP base (or at least the right-leaning indy/uncommitted base, if there be such a thing).

At best, he offers the Democratic base some lukew.o.r.m. attention, sleight-of-hand, and no responsiveness on policy.

What do so-called centrists and rightwing voters have that we haven’t got? Votes Obama is afraid he won’t get.

Hmmmm…..

Heh

When I first read “Lysistrata leverage”, I thought… well, I won’t say what I thought, let’s just say that there’s a certain part of the male anatomy that could be used as a pry-bar if one were really, really desperate. And I wasn’t sure how that related to anything…

But anyway. I guess we could issue ultimatums, get X number of people to pledge not to vote for Obama unless he will agree to do Y. What else ya gonna do?

But I still believe
And I will rise up with fists!!

And for ideas about what Y should be...

Did I miss a post on your results, VL?

I saw a brief mention in a post that your outreach to the Obama camp was a bust, but was there something more extensive I missed in my vacation from the web?

"lukew.o.r.m."

Major points.

I'll just leave it at that

It weren’t good, I’ll tell ya.

Not Surprised, VL

Disappointed, but not surprised. I always thought it was worth the effort because talking is almost always worth a try and because we’d learn a lot just from the response. Thanks for taking one for the team. :-)
