“Who got thrown out of Congress in 2010 Bob?”

So, what you are saying is, that because the BDC wasn’t liberal enough, they were replaced with much, much more conservative reps? Because they weren’t liberal enough.

You know what would have saved the left? MAOR FUCKING VOTES. But people stayed home. To ‘teach the president and blue dogs a lesson.’

Yeah, fuck that.

You know what else The People ‘did not want?’ Civil Rights. Somethimes The People have to be guided in the right direction.

As to Al Gore’s smugness, well. I’m so glad that we avoided that. All it cost us was a few million jobs, a few trillion dollars and a few thousand lives.

I hate myself and want to die……..the end.

Your indignation seems to be based on vapid, petty theater criticism, and as such I can’t take you any more seriously than those Beltway Kool Kid pundits from Election 2000.

Its February motherfucker, get on board for November or get the hell outta the way

How was that?

Obama has made some serious plunders and no one anywhere will acknowledge that.

“He’s not perfect!” Well shit, that’s what my mother always said about herself during the destruction of my family, but that didn’t mean she was admitting to anything.

Who did Obama bank with from 2008 to 2010? The Blue Dog caucus in the House and the conservadems in the Senate.

Who got thrown out of Congress in 2010 Bob?

Bob?

Oh yeah it was that same caucus en mass!

Why didn’t Obama pursue more radical policies? To save the Blue Dogs.

Why did Obama want to save the Blue Dogs? To save the Democratic advantage in Congress.

Well guess what: That was a big fucking failure. The Republicans at least have the balls to go it for broke the second they get into power. What do the Democrats care about? Well from the mouths of their own fucking operates they care about their jobs first and foremost.

But regardless: Are you telling me the wall-to-wall coverage of the GOP debates and the GOP primary is good for the democratic party? Are you telling me that 5000 posts a day on Romney’s latest rhetorical fuckup is providing the Democrats with an advantage?

It’s time to wake up bob: the People vote for what they want and they vote against what they don’t want, and low info or not they did not want the mandate, they did not want Gore’s smugness, and they did not want John Kerry’s ridiculous elitism.

Did you forget that passing NAFTA played a big role in Democrats continuing to lose support amongst the white working class?

Oh, but I forgot: it was hippies that made Gore five up the Presidency that he rightly won.

You’re full of shit, Marshall. Nothing new there.

“God these people are the most bilious, insufferable assholes that I’ve ever seen. ”

Truth.

And some of them are the same delusional dopes who defend Ron Paul.

Oh please. Gore was a weak candidate from the start. The point is that if he’d run a stronger campaign with an effective answer to Bush’s populist appeal it wouldn’t have had to come down to the wire in Florida. But he didn’t, he looked like an effete snob who was out of touch with the American electorate, and he gave Bush the chance to weasel his way into office. It doesn’t matter how much of that was mass media bull because in case you haven’t noticed mass media bull matters a hell of a lot more than reality on the campaign trail.

This trend among some progressives toward blaming the voters for the failings of the candidates and the party is pretty disturbing, but not all that surprising. After all, we already demonize the other guys as subhuman intellectually challenged shitkickers, so it’s not a stretch that we’d start turning this unpleasant attitude on our own.

Redefining smug, substance-free condescension for the new year.

What I want to know is why does the “progressive” media cater to them so much when they’re such a small part of the overall Left in this country.

I’m guessing that’s a rhetorical question, but if not…

It’s because promoting them ramps up the conflict, which in turn ramps up viewer interest (because the corporate suit knows that to the rubes, the “News” is no different from “Survivor” or “Who Wants To Be Kicked In The Balls”, mainly because the “News” has taken itself down to that level, but whatever), which ramps up advertising fees, which pay for that 4th (10k sq.ft) mountain vacation ‘cabin’.
