[ProSense]

[Palmer Eldritch]

1. True or False: Those who hate Obama are the real Progressives.

[Number23]

6. Now THAT is the real question, ain't it??

:applause: :yourock: :applause:

2. This isn't really going well, is it?

[ProSense]

4. Why do you say that? n/t

[Forkboy]

3. This won't end well.

[saras]

"Hate" is perhaps overstating the case...

but he's said that progressives are the problem, in one way or another, a lot more often than he's spoken respectfully about progressive positions on voting issues, let alone supported progressive over corporate programs.

5. Oh, for crying out loud. Progressives are a subset of the Democratic Party

not the end all and be all. All parts are needed to defeat the GOPigs.

7. he does`t "hate"....he does`t need us right now

he also knows there is no where else for progressives to go.

the question is whether or not we will work for him or put our efforts into local/state campaigns.

8. Liberals or progressives?

I don't think he hates progressives. And I don't think he hates non-shrill, non-leftier than thou liberals either.

[baldguy]

9. He thinks progressives are a problem.

He doesn't realize that for most of the shit he has to deal with, they're THE solution.

10. I wouldn't go as far as "hate", but sure sees us as an annoyance.

20. SImply putting a "D" after your name on a ballot doesn't make you a Democrat. n/t

16. Beats me...I don't have ESP and my crystal ball is broken

so who the hell knows what anybody thinks?

:shrug:

17. No more than the R's see the Tea Party as a problem

Any way you cut it we are a minority of the Democratic party ....... just as the radical right is a minority of the R's.

As most states have Independent or Unenrolled as the majority - the battle is for the center.

D's have to take the left for granted and R's have to assume the right is with them.

Whoever captures the middle is the winner

18. False. It would be idiotic to think otherwise. nt

[nomorenomore08]

19. False dichotomy. Way too vague.

Which is why I didn't vote.

[AsahinaKimi]

21. I can't read his mind...

I don't know how he thinks about specific things in his life.

[Rex]

22. False, they are no problem to Obama at all.

Which is why he dismisses the Left. He also knows most of them are voting for him in 2012. Hell of a thing to know.
