Instead of kicking the crap out of the Democrats. Or President Obama. Or each other.

Reminds me of those happy bygone days when the illegitimate, unelected moron was in the White House. We didn't know how good we had it.

:sigh:

23. I got home and the wifemeister told me; I immediately raised my hands up to the sky
and yelled "YEEESSSS". What a beautiful day, another sanctomonious self-righteous repub hypocrite bites the dust with yet another affair. No doubt it will be a few years before poor-ol victim Sanford will be able to get up to the podium to declare the love he shares with Newt, Rush, John McCain, Mark Foley, Ensign, Vitter, Craig, Reagan, O'Leilly, Coulter etc, etc, for the sanctimony of marriage and family.

Don't let the negativism get to you....the fundamentals remain...We won
Our side gets to pick supreme court justices; we have Michelle and Barack, the White House and the Congress. Just because a handful of losers on DU chooses to hold daily circular firing squads doesn't take away from anything. We won.

Maybe I'm just a Pollyanna but to me, these are the good old days.

42. This is just that good old Democratic Intellectual Diversity (DID) shining bright
Edited on Wed Jun-24-09 10:15 PM by Wizard777
What's the point of saying, YES WE CAN! If at some point we can't say, Yes we DID! If Republicans say, they didn't look at all the angles. We can honestly say, Yes we DID! I defy you to keep Democrats from exploring every possible angle. We are just too diverse of a party not to.

Strategically speaking. It is far better for Democrats to attack our own forts to find the weaknesses so we can fortify them. Than it is for the Republicans to attack our forts and exploit the weaknesses they find. Isn't that exactly what we did to the Republicans? Attacked their forts and exploited their weaknesses. Isn't that exactly how we got here? Why shouldn't that be how we stay here on top of things? This is what will allow Democrats to present that durable perfectly polished product to the public.

If you're confused by whats going on here. Perhaps you should drop by for a chat a lil more frequently. If not you can rest assured, no matter what it is, we've got it covered from every possible angle.......and even a few that aren't possible. LOL

Edited on Thu Jun-25-09 01:05 PM by Wizard777
But that doesn't change the fact that even with that kind of presence. If he's confused by what's going on here. He needs to be here more frequently asking more questions. But from what I've seen of Skinner. He seem more like a statement kinda guy. But such is the life of an executive. Even the really cool ones.

They only way to get over being puzzled is to start putting the pieces together. When you have put the pieces together correctly. You get to see the big picture. It's really that simple.

67. not me so much
that's long been one of our favorite songs - 'the Sharks have jumped the shark'. The other tribe is subhuman and deserves no mercy or respect.

It's really the same reason we kick the crap out of Democrats or each other. Because of our own holier-than-thou (or more progressive-than-thou) attitude. We are Nomad, on a mission to seek out imperfection and destroy it. Every carbon unit that makes a mistake must be destroyed. That is the prime directive.

Just for kicks, I googled to find some of the panels of our glass house.
Here's one list.

http://www.boycottliberalism.com/Democrat-Extra-Marital-Affairs.htm

Some of those are pretty old, dating back to the 1960s and 1970s and no mention of Chappaquiddick.

The Reveremd Jesse Jackson has perhaps preached some personal responsibility, but then had an affair that produced a child and tried to cover it up. Not his finest hour, but I still think he has done a lot of good.

70. It doesn't warm the heart to see them swallowing his story hook, line and sinker.
The mistress thing is too prepackaged, too convenient, too perfect as fodder for a media circus. Plenty of politicians manage to keep their affairs from interfering with their duties; he could have easily come up with an excuse to leave for a few days, but instead he disappeared without a word. Whatever he was doing down there, he decided that he'd rather destroy his political career and abandon his Presidential ambitions than reveal it.

No worries.

I'm actually not participating in that one. Sorry. I'm kind of busy being concerned about Iran and the jackass who runs North Korea. Not that I couldn't use a little down time. Maybe I should get myself over to one of those threads and pile on.

88. It should warm your heart that DUers are demanding accountability from ALL their representatives.
Your beef and frustration lies with the state and quality of Washington politicians, not with the working Americans who are finding the courage to stand up and call them on their betrayal of the American people's interests regardless of what party "tag" they have after their name.

This is the most hopeful thing to happen in American politics in a generation.

112. Politicians who IGNORE the Will of the People will be criticized
President Obama still has the opportunity to be a GREAT president.

Lately Obama seems to care more about corporations helping them with bail-outs while the average American gets no help with their mortgage problems, he seems happier to have his homophobic preachers happy instead of working for equality ("fierce advocate") for all, including GLBTs, he appears to want to help the insurance industry instead of working hard to get single-payer, etc. Meanwhile, he still hasn't ended wars, GOP war criminals are still not being prosecuted, he protected the telecoms with FISA ... shall I continue?

He needs to stop this "partisan" bs, helping only corporations and stop throwing under the bus the people who voted for him. Once he does this, then Obama will no longer have us "kick the crap" out of him.

and then we get rid of the Blue Dog/New Dem/DLC traitors that support the interests of corporations and other wealthy special interests over the interests of the people.

Well, we got rid of the republicans.

One down, one to go.

That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it.

144. Skinner, I appreciate this board, but.... don't understand your post.
At the present time, the republiCons are not our biggest foe. Turn coat bastard Democrats are. To try to make out that all Democrats are good and undeserving of criticism is unthinkable for liberals.

The goal isn't to get everyone under the big D tent, but to get those that support the middle class in control of Congress. We are a long, long way from that. And to do that we need to figure out how to fight the Democratic machine that supports corporations at the expense of the middle class.

149. ...and we somehow figure this out by fighting with each other online?
I think that sometimes (MOST OF THE TIME...) we take ourselves a little to seriously. We don't have to figure anything out. We just sit here fight with each other while others try and fix problems.

Most of the debating that seems to go on around here is less about "figuring" anything out and more about screeching at each other with no regard for the other persons point of view.

150. Yes there are those that screech and you probably will never get them to stop.
I don't think it is even bad. They don't interfere with those that want to debate. I learn a lot by debate. It seemed to me that Skinner's point in the OP was to reinforce the idea that we need to attack the republiCons and not each other. You can't stop liberals from "fighting" one another, it is our nature. And I sure as hope to hell Skinner isn't saying that we stand together with all Democrats. There is a big difference between Democrats. Some, like Sen Specter smell a lot like republiCons.
