Neither of these two guys fill me with pride. Bloomberg is the asshole who vigorously defended New York's Stop and Frisk policy and McAuliffe is the guy under who the Democrats lost election after election. I'd like to see the Democratic Party do better than these two losers.

in any case, Bloomberg is not a democrat. Never has been.

one of the best slogans since I Bill Maher's - "Vote Democratic - We're pathetic - but the other guys are nuts"

alas, I've forgotten for whom. Some southern governor, I think.

LBJ versus Goldwater.

while? We are trying to win an election.

Then it needs to send out a clear message that it's the party of the people, ALL PEOPLE. Palling around with a guy who made all minorities criminals and subject to constant police harassment is not a good way to achieve this.

Besides, McAulliffe is going to stomp on Kookinelli anyways.

funding Cuccinelli?

Campaigning against Democratic candidates two weeks before the election is against DU's terms of service.

What I'm saying is that if the Democratic Party doesn't stop pandering to assholes like Bloomberg, then eventually the Independents and others will leave and vote Republican again. All you have to do is look at 2010 for that.

If, on the other hand, the Democrats were to actually take a stand and refuse Bloomberg's help on the basis that he championed the oppression of minorities, then I think they could win over a majority for generations. Ever notice that whenever Democrats actually stand up to Republicans they tend to come out on top, whereas when they cater to them they tend to lose? Obama and the Democrats were slipping in the polls prior to the shutdown, the result of the NSA scandal and Obama's brief Syria war campaigning. But when they took a stand, the Republicans crashed and burned and Obama came out looking like a superstar.

I want the Democrats to win. Pandering to assholes like Bloomberg is not the way to do that in the long term. Republican lite NEVER does that. And if you doubt that, just look at McAuliffe's record as DNC chairman.

For about the hundredth time, it was moderates and Independents that abandoned the Dems in 2010, not true progressives. And they abandoned them because they had gone Republican lite, as they will every time Dems make a lurch to the right.

Your inability to accept history is why we have the nutty teabaggers in power we do now, not the other way around.

It is so sad really, they hate conspiracy theories...unless it is theirs!

your posts are sickening with their, er, antipathy. If I accurately described the nature of your posts directed at me, I'd have a post hidden. Not worth it.

Let me just say this about ALL your posts:









oceans of it.

what hatred? are you so motivated by antipathy for me that you're blinded by it? This is a piece that is good news for the dems in VA. duh.

and I've posted several other ops lately about the good news in the VA race.

yikes. take a chill pill and deal with YOUR, er, antipathy.

positive for Democrats in VA? Spin, spin, spin!

I suppose I did miss your other pro-McAuliffe posts, so for that I do apologize.

There is no antipathy or anything else against you. If you look at your posts, you'll see that I quite often rec what you write.

My only point: If you want to bash McAuliffe and encourage others to do so, do it before the primary. We have an election to win.

Are YOU actually claiming that McAuliffe is trying to sabotage his own campaign???

Mind boggling spin of the silliest kind.

This isn't bashing. It's a pro-McAuliffe post.

thanks for the apology.

now stop with nonsense that the op is antii-McAuliffe.

to what will help his campaign?

bwahahaha and unfuckingbelievable.

His posts went downhill the moment he decided to bring up hate, while hating on a fellow DUer. Why is it the people that shout for party solidarity, are always hating on fellow Dems?

What is up with that?

I should be used to this idiotic crap.

I've seen typed here in a long time.

McAulliffe is going to win easily. It's not even close. So take your party purism someplace where people are actually stupid enough to listen to it.

because you are wrong.

I'm so sick of lies. And the lies that I haven't posted anything against Cuccinelli during this campaign are just that, disgusting lies.

But who are on the right side at least a few times, so we have to put up with them!

My little head is just going to explode! NOBODY does that in politics! EVA!

I mean, lots of politicians do, so why not?

You mean to tell me there are some billionaires that don't represent the progressive values and that we should really stay away from? Go figure.
