I've kinda had it with all of the BS

[MADem]

202. And you are NEVER satisfied....and all your griping does is help the opposition.

The end of DADT and the ability of gay people to serve openly does feed people--it feeds their souls. For you to dismiss that, like it's NOTHING, when it's taken over 20 years to make it happen, tells me that you're not terribly progressive when and where it counts. You say I'm not "clued in?" Look in your damned mirror. That was a HUMAN RIGHTS issue, not "just a thing." Good grief. Show us your true colors, why don't you (they're obviously not rainbow-tinted).

Equality matters. It's a big deal, even if you think otherwise.

We would not have been out of Iraq--the GOP players would have continued ripping off the US taxpayers and dividing up the spoils with their Iraqi co-conspirators with all the enthusiasm of Hugo Chavez and his boligarchs. The SOFA would have remained in place, a hundred and fifty thousand troops, plus contractors and hangers-on, would still be at the trough, because Bushco would have bribed the right people to make it so. They changed out the thieves for honest politicians, that's why the Iraqis stopped cooperating--the gravy train ground to a halt.

Good grief, some truths are just self-evident.

Why do we still have GITMO? Gee, why? Do your homework before you do the standard "Waaaaaaaaah.....it's OBAMA's fault!!!" Because it's NOT his fault--he wanted to close the place (ooops, there's an inconvenient truth for ya).

CONGRESS--the HOUSE, specifically, where all appropriations start (Ways and Means, hello????) made sure of that. But hey....It's Obama's Fault!!! Yeah that's the ticket--King Obama HATES you and that's why he decreed that Gitmo stay open!

I'm from MA, so don't even try to lecture me on how the ACA is a failure. It will take time, but it will change lives. I've seen it happen in my state, and the sky didn't fall, people didn't go broke, life went on...only people are healthier and less scared about a catastrophic illness ruining their lives.

If you want a DEM House, get off DU and go volunteer for a campaign. It's too damn late this time around, though--so you're safe; no need to put your time, your effort or your money where your mouth is. You can sit behind your keyboard and tell everyone how awful it is and how you know better, and how the people actually doing the work are wrong/bad/evil/stupid and only you know the Way and the Light. You can gripe, gripe, gripe and offer ZERO solutions.

You want change? Try helping instead of griping--for a "change."
