Are you a republican troll

[boston bean]

if you can't stand the democratic party right now?

They are weak, and incapable of taking a stand.

One example:

When the moveon ad about Petreaus came out, why did they sign on to that drivel?

Why didn't they just say we have more important things to do and when asked about it just say that they didn't agree with it, but vote the fuck on it?????????

And now with the Limbaugh thing, the republicans say there are more important things to do and make the democrats look like idiots to the American people and weak to their base.


Oh and never mind the Iran resolution, I can't even go there, I'm too livid.


Who the fuck is in control of the god damned message people?

I wanna know, right now damn it.

Are they doing this type of shit on purpose?

I for one am not a troll, have been a dedicated democrat my entire voting life. My family has always been democrats as well. I will never vote republican, but just because the democrats are pissing me off so much right now, I am basically called a freep, and that pisses me off too, because it couldn't be further from the truth. But if you criticize the democratic party for good reason, do you have a right to be on DU?

From what I can see, may DUers think you (me) shouldn't be here.

1. Well, there is one problem with your reasoning

And that is this: WE are the Democratic party. Personally, I can't stand the leadership (or much of the "followship"), but I won't say that I can't stand the entire party.

We do have some serious work ahead of us if this party is going to stay relevant. And I'm frankly out of patience with the people who are supposed to be leading the way.

2. Well yeah, that's what I'm referring to. Who is in control of the message?

The strategy?

Why are they doing what they are doing? I have a big imagination and can't seem to come up with a good reason or the upside to they way they do the things they do.

3. It's gotta start from the ground up

Sadly, the party may be lost to us for a few years until we clean house.

4. The DLC is in control.

Do a search, there has been a ton of very informative threads about them lately.

7. I'm not sure what you mean by that. Call me slow I guess.

Can you elaborate.

I went and read about three billy goats gruff but I still don't get it.

I am asking nicely, really.

6. The conservatives here don't seem to get it

They are enabling the current ineptitude that is this Democratically controlled congress.

As long as people keep voting conservatives into the Democratic party, nothing will ever change.

8. Who do you think the Dems represent? It is a Big Tent.

Consider that we have Dem Senators whose electorate have voted 2/3 Republican.

Don't expect them to be progressive radicals. Don't expect them to fall for the constant political traps that would defeat them.

And, there are a lot of pro trolls, actually getting paid to do it.

10. Do you mean someone like Jim Webb? Who did not vote for

the Iran resolution?

9. gawd I hope not because these assbags have me so fed up it's not EVEN funny!

I past 'outraged', I'm past 'giving them some time', hell, I'm just about past giving a damn anymore. Who is representing us anymore? Anyone?

HELLO?!?!

— That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

It's coming, folks.....

It's coming.
