However, Obama is <strong><em>incapable<\/em><\/strong> of standing up for progressive values against the bullies of the GOP who see only their way and no other. The GOP doesn\u2019t just want 100%, it wants you to give up more to persuade them to accept 110%, at which point half of them will crow like drunken frat boys and the other half will demand more concessions. Piss on them.<\/p>\n<p>Progressives need a candidate NOW to pull Obama back to the left \u2013 the center, really.
