I swear some of you sound like bigger whiners than the Repukes.

Progress only comes in increments....It always does. We win elections because we offer a bigger tent, That means we are required to listen to more voices then just yours when we are asked to govern. Get over it!

4. why so insulting
everybody knows those things, it's insulting to whoever you're talking to to assume they don't know. I assume you're talking about people who criticize Obama. These people know those things you posted. The fact that they criticize Obama doesn't mean they're ignorant.

9. You know what's funny?
Folks like some of the posters here can call Duers warmongers, order them to enlist or shut up,
and everything else they want....but if someone says something that shows them for who they really are, then they can't take it.

Far as I'm concerned, I won't be posting tonght,
cause I don't want to get in their way as they preen in their Utopian ideological sun,
as it will be like an intellectual fashion show where the choir will sing
to the choir about death, despair, and try to outdo each other on how
condescendingly they can describe this President and his supporters,

16. Not funny at all
First you complain that names are thrown around and then you start throwing names around.

Maybe it is best if you just put down the keyboard for tonight?

11. Don't know, but no matter what you may believe lecturing people at DU has never gone over well.
Yeah, people here really love to be told to "get over it!"

20. Perky, you're speaking my language. Progress DOES only come in
Edited on Tue Dec-01-09 07:02 PM by Kahuna
increments...or baby steps as I like to call them. But, we never get what we want, because some on our side (supposedly) always want to punish our politicians before we can ever get anything accomplished. You think people would have learned from the bush fiasco. But no, we're right back where we started. Threatening to punish our own...and then wonder why nothing ever gets accomplished.
