In reply to KanaW. Kana, no need for that. I'm just sayin' that we don't need to give these people links. My opinion. Nothing more.

In reply to KanaW. Does that really need to be more circulated than it is already? We know that it's tripe, but not everyone will.

I can usually come up with something snarky to say, but on this one I’m speechless.

Progressives have spent the last 4o years on defense, trying to mitigate the damage done by conservative ideas. It’s going to be that way for a while yet until we can start nudging that Overton Window back toward the center.

The reason why republicans won’t negotiate any more is because they no longer believe in governing, just waging war and handing gobs of taxpayer’s money over to Wall Street. The democrats, however, still do want to govern, so that will be more than willing to make concessions to conservatives if only to get a few crumbs handed back to the middle class.

In reply to nicole. They act like politics is a fucking house party, and if they don't like the vibe, man, they can just pull up and take their vibe to the taco hut because they've got that really good green sauce. What do they call it? Salsa verde? yeah. I think that's the stuff. Good stuff.

“inaction is also policy. Under this criterion, Obama must also be judged by the things he won’t allow to happen on his watch: ”

I think that some of us have known this for quite a long while. It is the crux of my own anger at the emoprogs who can’t or won’t understand this concept.

They also have trouble understanding that not to vote is a vote for the opposition. It is every bit as much of a vote as those cast by you and I. Same thing goes for those who vote for sillyass third party candidates as a protest vote.

Did you catch Nancy Pelosi on with stewart the other night? She was making the point that these elections are about much more than the each individual contest, especially for women and their rights. Jon, despite having run stories all week supporting her position, condescendingly laughed at the thought and said there are people on the other side who would disagree. Really? The people wanting to take women’s rights away would disagree with that? SHOCKER!

Jon, chris wallace will NEVER, that’s NEVER stop calling you partisan no matter how hard you try.

Thanks, Bob. This is as a President should be thinking.
