Let's not fight with each other, eh?

[omega minimo]

There's general consensus on everything that's messed up (except for Global Warming and the existence of souls, of course) and we all helped screw the pooch.

When we stop fighting each other and recreate our common cause and reclaim our commonwealth, we might get somewhere.

That common cause was the real "hope" and "change we can believe in," 'member?

1. LOL

I apologize in advance if you happened to be attempting to be serious

You can apologize for previous ill behaviors as well, if you like.

[taterguy]

10. What previous ill behaviors? Seriously, I'd like to know what I should apologize for

[omega minimo]

14. Dunno

Whatever you did to carry that attitude in here.

[taterguy]

16. You want attitude? I'll show you attitude . . .

[omega minimo]

17. "We are here to awaken from the illusion of our separateness" - Thich Nhat Hanh

[donco6]

20. Yeah, and when you guys finally realize you need to think like me -

We can all be "one."

[omega minimo]

21. We are already "one"

[taterguy]

22. If you didn't make a coherent point the first time, why post it twice?

[omega minimo]

23. It's your sigline. Have you read it?

[taterguy]

24. How would it get there if I hadn't read it?

Oh noes! Someone's placing unauthorized sigs on DUers pages.

:eyes:

[omega minimo]

25. If you'd read it and placed it, you might consider it a "coherent point"

or not :shrug:

[taterguy]

26. You're being awfully disagreeable for someone that thinks we should all get along

:shrug: yourself

[omega minimo]

28. Not at all. I agree with your sigline and consider it a very coherent and relevant point.

2. I found this priceless comment at FDL.

"Every two years or so, we progressives go to the polls and face a choice between voting for a party of insane homophobic warmongers who want to take our money and give it to corporations, rich people, bombs, and jails, or voting for the Republicans. So we hold our noses and vote for war, jails, discrimination, unaffordable health care, planetary destruction, and massive wealth transfers to the rich, and we think we’ve done just great because at least we didn't vote for Republicans."

So very true...

[omega minimo]

5. Yes, it's been lesser of evils for some time

IMHO the blatant, mercenary scenario you describe has occurred more recently.

[DURHAM D]

19. I agree - Dems were the lesser of two evils until 1999.

When Nader started the "there is no difference" between Gore and Bush tripe it was not true but many bought it.

[omega minimo]

27. The people who "bought" "there is no difference" "tripe" are Dems who still blame Nader

not those who actually listened to what he was saying. At that point, there was no indication that Gore would not continue down the path we've been on since Reagan, which Clinton continued, which Obama is continuing.

This "there is no difference" shit is like Limbaugh saying what "Liberals" think in a completely misleading way.




Drop the cliche. NOW would be a very good moment for Democrats to take SOME/ANY responsibility for that election that their candidate WON which they blame Nader for him "losing." :crazy:

[DURHAM D]

32. Your response is off point and insulting.

I have never thought that Nader cost Gore the election. Gore did it all on his own.

[tomm2thumbs]

8. now that's funny!

I laughed a little more than was called for given the seriousness of the truth behind it

[laughingliberal]

12. Really sad how true that is nt

[H2O Man]

4. Are you directing

this insulting and threatening message at me? Huh? Well? ARE YOU?

I agree, of course.

[omega minimo]

6. It can't be "didactic"

because I don't know what that means. :crazy: Hey, I'm not tellin' ya What To Do!!! :yoiks:



Good reply :spray: H20 Man. How's are things?

[yurbud]

7. what if you find out those you want to compromise with want to steal all the marbles

and give them to the bully down the street?


Compromise requires two parties acting in good faith.

That is not the case with DLC/Blue Dogs. They are acting corruptly and trying to give the marbles to the bully.

[omega minimo]

9. They are Republicans

who stole the commonwealth. We want it back.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

11. Only if I can win... eh? n/t

[omega minimo]

13. Whose side are you on?

:shrug:

[HysteryDiagnosis]

15. I like to play both sides against the middle.... call me Captain

America.

[omega minimo]

18. What middle?

[HysteryDiagnosis]

31. Oh crap, I thought there was a middle... I really need to get some

sleep... sorry for the misunderstanding... on my part. Stupid is as stupid does... color me out of it for now.

[MadBadger]

30. How did we all help screw the pooch?

[Kablooie]

33. Them's fightin' werds, pardner!

[Ladyhawk]

34. Good luck with that. :)

Oh, and BTW, I noticed you were having a heated discussion with "ignored"...it's always interesting to see that.

Droppin' by to watch the tires burn...

[hfojvt]

36. we need to find a scapegoat that we can all fight together

right now that seems to be Obama for at least 70% of DUers.

Hmm. First we are gonna hafta fight over who should be the scapegoat.

My vote would be for Nader, :hide: but you'd probably hit me.


Hey, what about Rahm? Everybody hates Rahm. Or Lieberman.
