[OKDem08]

[leftstreet]

1. Are you going to change your user name?

:beer:

[True_Blue]

13. +1

:applause:

[northernlights]

27. it's still accurate

poster was a dem in '08. No longer. Guess he's just a whining brat taking his toys and going home.

Or maybe he's just too fucking retarded to stay and get kicked some more. :shrug:

[global1]

2. Oh!!!! - Stop Whining........nt

[AtomicKitten]

3. well that'll fix 'em

[Atticus]

4. If that doesn't do it, you could stamp your feet and hold your breath till you turn blue! nt

[Bluebear]

7. How fucking dismissive & arrogant. nt

[Atticus]

8. Dismissive and arrogant? What adjectives do you have for the OP, a "Democrat"

until a Democratic president made a comment that he didn't care for.

Wouldn't childish at least arguably apply?

Isn't abandoning your party similar to "taking your ball and going home"?

[Bluebear]

12. Disillusioned? Underserved? Whatever, your attitude is clearly that of the current Party.

[Atticus]

15. Yeah---we should have spent lots of time begging a quitter to please not quit.

He can bitch and moan all he cares to as long as he is "one of us". I understand that quite a few regulars here self-describe as independents, but find themselves voting and working for Democrats most of the time.

But, the OP was clearly "kissing off" the Democratic Party because the President hurt his feelings. Poor baby! There's a hell of a lot more at stake here than his feelings or the President's "lovability".

To abandon our party for the reason he stated was irresponsible and childish. We don't need his negativity 5 weeks in front of the most important midterm election in my lifetime.

9. yet true

5. It's our elected Dems who should stop whining

And actually quit using every excuse they can muster to NOT work in the best interest of THE PEOPLE.

[Jack Sprat]

16. Well said

It looks like the whining is coming from Washington DC these days. I would say that a circle of whiners around the President are looking to blame everyone else for their weak and compromising strategies. They are looking like losers and desperately trying to transfer their failures onto the base that elected them. That isn't going to wash.

[Cirque du So-What]

6. Well...

Bye!

[proteus_lives]

19. Excellent pic choice.

Fits like a glove.

10. It likely was then

[TorchTheWitch]

11. I've been a registered Independent since Clinton

I didn't leave the Democratic party - they left me.

[Dappleganger]

14. I'm a registered independent...

our state party is just too blue for me. Was a registered dem in VA.

[Tunkamerica]

23. you get this forum is for democrats?

[BzaDem]

17. "WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH"

He (sniff sniff) (wipe tears away) hurrrt my feelings!!!!

[Scurrilous]

18. Whine on then.

:thumbsup:

[nosmokes]

20. It's sad for a little while OKDEM, but but once you begin to see how much a

part of the problem the *major* parties are you get over it.

[merqz]

21. This is Joe Biden for pete's sake.

Part of his charm (love him or not) is his consistent (even as Vice President) tendency to say abrasive stuff. Remember the "clean and articulate" thing?

He's a no bullshit guy and he shoots from the hip, sometimes. You can get a scripted politician or you can get Biden. I find Biden refreshing, even if I get pissed off with his crap sometimes. I prefer a bit of Biden over a politician who simply tells me what I want to hear.

[Tunkamerica]

22. see you later.

are you on independent underground?

[lamp_shade]

24. If the shoe fits....

[MineralMan]
