		<description><![CDATA[Obama and Clinton are both pigheaded, bigoted opponents of marriage equality. Obama and his party along with their allied Republican bigots have regularly refused to pass ENDA, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act since 1994. These are the same people who refused to repeal Bill Clintons DOMA in the years since its passage in 1996. 

All these little pronouncements, invitations to Easter egg rolls and temporary appointments of very junior bureaucrats are nice but they&#039;re not aimed at advancing our equality as much as they-re aimed at duping those who insist on being duped.  

In the last presidential election a bit over 1/3 voted for Hopey-Changey and got betrayed. Almost 1/3 voted for McCain, and a bit less than 1/3 voted for None of the Above. The ones who sat it out and refused to take sides in the Battle of the Lesser Evils were the smart ones and the ones who voted for Obama or McCain were either right wing, deluded or masochists. 

With two losers to pick from more and more people will choose &#039;None of the above&#039;. On Tuesday, November 6th, 2012 vote left as a protest vote or just sit it out. Instead, those who are serious about change should spend their time building unions, GLBT action groups or the Occupier movement and it&#039;s successors.]]></description>
