"It is not the critic who counts..." - Teddy Roosevelt (so get off your Ashcroft and do something)

[UrbScotty]

"It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

[Cirque du So-What]

1. I'm taking a sabbatical from DU in order to do more than criticize

With elections fast approaching, there's lots of work to do. If you want to come here and do nothing but criticize, criticize, criticize, just you wait; if repugs take the House or Senate this fall, you'll *really* have comething to complain about!

6. Today's GOP wouldn't have him.

I guess you wonder if someone quotes Lincoln here too.

7. Actually I dunno if today's dems would have him... nt

9. He would be too progressive for them.

After all, he was in favor of healthcare, protecting the environment, busting up the big trusts.

11. TR was the real deal.

Would you oppose a quote by Lincoln?

8. "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president...

... is morally treasonable to the American public. "

-- Teddy Roosevelt
