Reply #50: More "dumpster diving"? [View All]

[madfloridian]

Is that what it's called when we worry about our party's direction? When we worry that some want to stay in Iraq so we can go on spreading Democracy? When we worry about the draft coming if this continues, and more and more lives lost.

Then a new meme is developed....and it is directed at me and those like me. I call it research and being knowledgeable about my party. Some call it "dumpster diving." I was said to be doing that here a few days ago.

Kind of sad. Ran across this on a search for more on what Feingold said.

Oh, and as much as I respect Josh Marshall who is referred to there, I beg to differ. Before the Iraq war most of never heard of this group. We just saw strange things happening in local parties. Things like play nice, don't be ugly to the Republicans..it will divide our country. Things like we have to trust the president to defend us without question. Strange things coming from Democrats.

The first time I was called "fringe" was in 2003. I knew something was very wrong. I am about the least "fringe" person you would ever meet. Strong Southern Baptist background, fitting in comfortably in my conservative area. It was the DLC who called us that, and it was because we supported a VT governor named Howard Dean.

I call it research because I am worried about my country. Some call it "dumpster diving."

I guess time will tell.
