Tired of tough talk w/o action and even sicker of excuses.

[Dr Fate]

I really dont want anymore excuses. Very tired of excuses.

I'll see you guys tonight after I get drunk.

1. You had better hurry.

After today I already have a buzz on. I can promise it won't be letting go for a few more days. Should make for some interesting posts!

2. I've seen a lot of talk without action here on DU

so yeah, I guess I finally agree with you

[Dr Fate]

5. I was speaking of people who we put in power....

Not of the people who live under that power.

But sure, DUers who just talk are no better.

I dont really see what focusing on those people has to do with DEMs in power who ignore those people like me who DO act.

I'll bite- what do politcally inactive DUers have to do with Democrats who wont listen to those of us who ARE active?

8. Volume, baby.

They could help with the volume.

But, with all due respect to rocky, just because someone posts here doesn't mean they do nothing. I've seen people assume that at times.

It's not like you can tell by how someone types as to what they're doing in the world.

[Dr Fate]

9. It's a tactic to smear people who have honest opinions.

It's not the first time someone hinted that me or other DUers dont do work for DEMs outside of DU just beause we criticise leadership tactics.

Anyway, I feel like crap. I appreciate your pep talks but I'm not in the mood. Ultimately you are right, but that may not save this day.

I better just get back to work.

12. I understand.

Hey, you can always get drunk in a couple of days, AFTER the cloture vote. ;)

I just don't want us to react too quickly to what might be a rumor. Raw Story has been wrong before.

We may still lose, in fact probably. But I'd like us to make it to the finish line first.

(and just because I'm trying to give a pep talk doesn't mean I don't feel kinda shitty too. But the only thing that saves my soul is knowing I'm fighting still.)

3. How about a slightly oppositional statement...

...followed by a profuse and humiliating apology?

Seems like that's what we get the most of lately...

[LittleClarkie]

4. Shouldn't all this collapsing in grief come after we've lost?

Or were we going to let one report make us stop in our tracks and admit defeat before we've actually lost?

Take a page out of the GOP handbook. Never give up.

[Dr Fate]

6. No- that will come after my hangover. n/t

n/t

7. **snort**

11. What would signify loss to you?

:shrug:

Tkae a page from the GOP playbook - take over the media and let the country be attacked so we can discontinue the Constituion.

[LittleClarkie]

13. Gee, actually waiting for the cloture vote

and not taking the word of a publication that's been wrong before might be a start.

[Doctor_J]

10. What tough talk?

:shrug:
