Dear *Insert Democrat Here*, F*CK YOU!

[yourguide]

Dear Rahm,

Fuck you for resting on your laurels and not defending *ANY* challenge to a filibuster proof majority with every fiber of your being. While you were busy kissing DLC ass and watering down HCR some idiot repuke in Boston was running circles around Martha. Were you paying attention or were you too busy lunching with that scumbag Joe Lieberman?


Dear Tim Kaine,

What the fuck are you paid to do as the head of the DNC? Act like Michael Steele without all of the stupid/funny quotes and embarrassment? What the hell have you been doing to get out the vote in Mass? That's your fucking job and one of you idiots better get back on the horn with Howard Dean and hire him as a consultant. Better yet, resign and give him your job as it's apparent you have ZERO idea how to do it if you allowed a seat that hasn't been Red in over 30 years, that was the seat of a BELOVED Democrat in a fucking Blue State no less, to go to a douchebag like Brown.


Dear Martha,

While that douchebag Brown was out there hustling and doing 66 events to campaign for this seat, you decided you deserved a fucking vacation and did a whopping 19 events and blew an almost 20 point lead. I hope you enjoyed that vacation because since the people of Mass didn't hire you tonight it appears you've got some free time on your hands.



*sorry, needed to get all of that off my chest*

1. Rahm Emanuel.

x1,000.

[Sebastian Doyle]

2. Very well said.

Better raise your shields though. I can see the apologists circling already. :evilgrin:

[yourguide]

6. Let them bring it on...

The party took the state for granted, from candidate on up and blew it. Big time, I am just pissed right now.

The only silver lining is not having to keep kissing Lieberman's treacherous ass.

[gateley]

3. I think you speak for many of us at the moment. K&R. nt

4. Dear yourguide,

::: HIGH FIVE :::: !!!!!!!!!!!!!

5. Excellent post - couldn't agree more.

[JI7]

7. Fuck You to the voters in Mass who voted for Brown

[BlueMTexpat]

15. They will get what they voted for ... and that's for sure. n/t

21. Especially the democrats...did I see right last night, 20% of MA dems?

:wtf:

8. Dear YourGuide

Let me remind you what the job of the WH Chief of Staff is:

The roles of the Chief of Staff are both managerial and advisory and can include the following
Select key White House staff and supervise them
Structure the White House staff system
Control the flow of people into the Oval Office
Manage the flow of information
Protect the interests of the President
Negotiate with Congress, other members of the executive branch, and extragovernmental political groups to implement the President's agenda

The Chief of Staff has neither the time nor duty to "defend challenges to fillibuster proof majorities." That is to say, he doesn't do elections, except insofar as he schedules the president's appearances.

Let's put the blame squarely where it belongs: on the candidate and on the voters of Massachusetts.

[yourguide]

10. Interests of the President.

Protecting the interests of the President would indeed include micromanaging a campaign that could affect the ability to get his agenda through congress.

I don't even blame the voters of Massachusetts, she really didn't go much out of her way to ask for their votes.

[calimary]

18. rahm emmanuel DOES bear some of the blame.

Back when he was head, I believe, of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee - one of his jobs was recruiting Dems to run wherever he could. He took the cheesy way out and found anybody willing to stick a "D" by their name, whether they were true-blue "D's" or some stealth "r". Well, okay, it can be argued - a "D" by any other name is still a "D" and enough of those "D's" add up to our side gaining the majority. But what good is it, and what good are they, if a large-enough number of those "D's" actually VOTE as though they were "r's"? What good are they? What good do they do us, really? Except dilute and compromise and pervert and pollute the soul of our party?

And yeah, the President's Chief-of-Staff is charged with assisting his boss and helping in every way to enable his boss's agenda. HOW-EVER THAT WORKS. Whatever needs doing, you do. Whoever needs an appointment to get in to see the boss, you make it happen. Whatever is unraveling or falling out of line, you find it and fix it. Or find somebody who CAN fix it. If he sees his boss steering onto the rocks or the sandbars, he steps in and helps his boss correct that and get out of danger. It's a hard job. The White House Chief-of-Staff should have his fingers in EVERY pie, his ear to the ground, and know what the fuck is going on.

rahm emmanuel is serving his boss VERY poorly.

I am SICK TO DEATH hearing yet another round of "the Dems fell asleep at the switch." Haven't ANY of our people learned ANYTHING from the past couple of decades????? ANYTHING AT ALL????????

[Divine Discontent]

9. nicely said

[MercutioATC]

11. I'm going to propose a theory...scary as it might be.

Rahm and Tim (and, maybe even Martha) accomplished exactly what they set out to do.


A "D" in front of one's name does not make one a light in the darkness. It is not a totem against self-serving political dealing to the detriment of the constituents.

It's a game, people. They're just playing the roles of adversaries. Pander to their constituencies as they might, they're all in it for themselves...and that means they're in it against the rest of us...Repub AND Dem.

Our job is to stop supporting the "oh, he's electable and we need the vote that he may or may not give" game and start looking out for our own interests. We need to start electing real people...not career politicians.

[yourguide]

12. Teddy was a career politician...

and he did great work for the state of Massachusetts and the country.

I don't disagree but it's unfair to paint them all with the same brush.

And I might add, 90% of Democrats (even career politicians) are always a better choice than a Republican regardless of whether they are life-timers or upstarts.

[Mimosa]

17. Live in Louisiana for 20 years then get back to me. LOL

Yourguide said: "And I might add, 90% of Democrats (even career politicians) are always a better choice than a Republican regardless of whether they are life-timers or upstarts."

Yes, please tell me more if you ever lived in a state with the likes of Edwin edwards as Governor and William Jefferson in Congress. I've lived in a state where being an elected Democrat meant 'license to steal.'

[yourguide]

19. You'll notice I said 90%, not 100% n/t

[Ildem09]

13. Rahm

Damn skippy the COS gets involved in all sorts of campaigns. and Rahm was head of the D trip in 06' he hated Dean though. so theres that and Tim Kaine is no Howard Dean. where is the passion the excitement. you cant blame the people of Mass. when our candidate said "And do what, stand out by Fenway in the COLD? and shake hands? Pshaw"

[Salmonslayer]

14. Who was the biggest idiot??

"some idiot repuke in Boston was running circles around Martha."

"you decided you deserved a fucking vacation and did a whopping 19 events and blew an almost 20 point lead."

There had to be a complete idiot of a Democrat to lose in the bluest of blue states. Brown did not win as much as Coakley lost. What an idiot.

[Dinger]

16. Dear "arne duncan" FUCK YOU!

Not sure if he's a Dem though.

[AspenRose]

20. Truth

[uponit7771]

22. ******COAKLEY LITERALLY WENT ON VACATION DURING A SPECIAL ELECTION WITHOUT DAILY TRACKING!!*****

[AspenRose]

23. LOL

You can't get over that, can you :rofl:


It is pretty pathetic, to be sure :thumbsup:
