It'll be hard enough arguing with freepers and other right wingers - some DUers must be isolated from them. How about DU helping with opposing these nutjobs rather than doing an even better job of trashing our own side?

Nobody should expect their personal issues to come first - we all have those! And we can disagree about HOW to solve those issues. Bitching against one's own side is usually not effective in bringing about a solution. This is a political board, no? So people's personal problems don't really add up as the sum total of what the President and Congress should be doing - those institutions do not exist solely to help one group of people. They have to deal with all the shit out there and balance and prioritize.
