Blame Dems first [View All]

[nini]

Why do I see so much of this here? I swear to God no matter what the issue there seems to be a faction that will bash the Dems involved regardless of how justified it is. I'm not saying some Democrats don't need to be brought to task on some things, what I am saying is when that becomes the focus of the debates - the focus is off what the issue really is. We spend more time bashing our own than going after the source of situation in the first place - the Republican controlled government and the hell they're driven us into.


The fighting about Chavez and who said what after - Why is this still a huge topic here? Surely, everyone has had the chance to voice their opinion on it by now.

Karl Rove - this maniac is mentioned EVERY time a republican does something crappy. NEWS ALERT - MOST REPUBLICANS IN CONTROL NOW ARE SLIMY ENOUGH TO DO THESE UNDER-HANDED THINGS ON THEIR OWN. They didn't get where they are by playing nice.

DemocraticUnderground is the best place on the internet to get the info we need to fight back. We need to use DU as a tool to keep informed and to motivate each other to keep up the fight. It is also the best place to vent our frustrations which we all need to do, but how much is too much?

I could go on but I will leave with one suggestion. For all the hours we spend here at DU re-hashing the same topic over and over - take one hour a day, a couple hours a week etc.. and go out and help with a campaign, talk to people you know are on the fence on the issues, help at a homeless shelter or just seek peace within yourself in anyway that helps you. Being frustrated and pissed off all the time is not good for anyone.

We are destroying ourselves by allowing the right wing to dictate our agenda - in and out of Congress. We can't get the country's agenda in Congress changed until we get a majority back. In the meantime we can at least not allow them to keep us so wound up that we spend valuable time rehashing the same ol' crap here instead of getting out and fighting the fight in any way that will help.

They like to see us fighting here instead of in the real trenches. Think about it. They've got us where they want us - and it's not just Rove's fault.
