is the platform and the missing consistency of pushing forward on principle (that is different than being "pragmatic&quot .

The populist platform, a clear "roadmap" to a better life and better way of doing things is no longer expressed by party leadership.

The Republicans have made so many critical mistakes and gone so off the deep end it has been all ours to foul up.

These are the same reasons why I will not, no matter who she is running against, vote for Hilary. She is the same thing, in fact, I believe she is more pro war than Obama.

who you help to elect by staying away.

More like Bush! By gods, that'll show us!
Hope we learn our lesson and run Kucinich.

ETA - it will really show old farts like me. I can look forward to losing Social Security and probably my life savings (only lost half under Bush). Can't wait to move in with my kids. And Medicare? That's for sissies.

show no respect to the President. they think that's a way to making a point is photoshop the President.. they're stupid.

President Obama's polls are not going to stay there.. and We The People are fortunate to have Obama as our President.

out Net Neutrality via industry appoints meant to head the FCC, propping up the failing banks while letting millions of mortgage holders loss their homes.... And the list goes on and on. Obama has not fixed any of the underlying problems at lead to the crash in 2008. He is just trying to put the next crash off until he gets out of office. The way GWB did.

We live in a representative democracy not quite a dictatorship yet. Respect is earned. And if you are thinking about the old "respect the office" that is the kind of dictatorial-esk BS you heard from republicans under GWB and all their failed office holders.

with respect. But, someone low class like cenk isn't capable of it.. he's down there in the gutter with the fucking madhatter teabaggers.

Ol cenk got fired by msnbc because he couldn't handle it and probably blamed that on Obama, too. Oh wait he did..

Cenk Uygur Crying Foul Blames The White House For His Short Lived Career At MSNBC

Snip//

"I must admit, my tolerance level for watching Cenk Uygur's show on MSNBC is not more than 10 minutes and that is being generous because Cenk is simply a sensationalizing drama queen journalist. I guess his drama and phony acts has caught up with him and have tuned off many viewers where even MSNBC management thinks it is time for Cenk to go from the 6pm time slot. But, here is the icing on the cake. Cenk feels that the White House is behind the coup detat of his reign as a decorated talk show host but of course he can't produce any evidence of such accusations except manufacture it as usual.."

snip//

Here is the deal about winning viewers. If you throw a right wing talking point and ridicule Democrats and the President every fucking time, be assured you will be attracting many right wing teabagging viewers. It's like flies coming out to seek that honey and there are indeed a lot of Republican flies watching someone who is on the relentlessly journey to belittling everything the President and Democrats are trying to do. Which teabaggers would not love to see someone say similar things like "Is Barack Obama Stupid" second guessing every step the President takes and every word that comes out of him at every moment possible even on a liberal cable news such as MSNBC?

snip//

"Here is the deal about Cenk. His agenda could not have been any clearer than this when in fact he, like a Right Wing troll, said, the President has destroyed the Democrats. He truly believes that in the last two and half years, the President and his administration have been "practicing political unilateral disarmament" of the Democratic Party. This is coming form an ex-Republican with no record of running for a Home Owners Association let alone a political office telling the President how to administer the Office of the Presidency, of course, overlooking the many accomplishments achieved.

So yeah... cenk can't make his Stupid points without Photo shopping the President because he's a lame a$$hole.

And I am sure he don't give a shit how low he goes...but what it does show is that even democrats are dissatisfied with what he has done in his job, and that should concern democrats if they want to win elections.
It is folly to expect that we can win by saying the other side is worse so vote for me.
