DU translated for centrist readers.
"Why aren't any progressives on the new cabinet?"

translation...

"The hippies and communists are here to dominate the administration."

1. What's funny is that in the polls, there are a LOT of real libs here.
But they don't necessarily post. :)

4. Just like in the Republican party, the right wing tends to be the loudest.
I'm so horrified by some of the posts here sometimes that I think I've stumbled on Free Republic.

I'm one of those far left liberals BTW. ;-)

12. It's Exactly How they Smear Him
Remember how they twisted his UFO statement against him? They consistantly painted him as being crazy, or "far left"... so that no one would listen to him.

Well after the last eight years, and because he was one of few Democrats that has been right about everything, I'd say they were too far right yet so damn wrong about everything.

It makes one wonder if they are crazy. It's no time for BSing. The system itself is very corrupt because there are too many people who have been compromised for too long. They accept it, even benefit from it... I think this will change...

Greed knows no political party, just folks who make good enough hosts.

5. Your "translation" makes no sense.
How can they dominate if they're not included? and they will NOT be included in order to keep from frightening brave souls such as yourself.

24. My apologies. Not your fault. I'm too serious.
Feeling kind of resentful over how the Left gets taken for granted: "Let 'em bitch; Where're the Lefties gonna go, anyway?"

11. I've held my tongue about all this these days
But if RFK Jr doesn't get EPA, before I get really pissed, I'm going to have myself a huge cry.

16. I see so much from all the liberals and progressives here....
then I see how a minority group like gays are treated.

Then I laugh.

Obama is doing just fine.
