So you won't vote for Obama out of spite? Or WILL vote, for McCain? That's brilliant.
-
@ Why is Obama the enemy all of a sudden?
Exactly. The dumbing down of Obama, in order to build up Hillary, is v. disappointing.

Anon ... whatever
Fringe left --- hahahahaha!
Good one.
I'll be sure to look for your book - will it be under that famous nom de pen ANON

Laugh of the day.
To me he's the enemy for insisting on running for President before he obviously was ready or qualified to and for splitting Dem voters right in half with this (tired) theme of pandering to the lefties and factioning them off.
How dare he run for President in an open primary! He should have conceded immediately to The Anointed One.
You have got to be a parody. There's no way someone could say that seriously.

The Democrats' recent woes seem to be the result of being overly cautious and defensive, and choosing "safe" DLC-type, uninspiring candidates. Nominating
A few fatal flaws with that knee-jerkism you are parroting.
1. The DLC didn't "form" until AFTER McGovern, Mondale and Dukakis lost in landslides as a means of moving the party a little back to the center. Nearly every Senator the Dems have had elected in the past 20 years has been via the DLC ; it is the strongest support organization for upcoming Democratic rising stars in the country. Local all the way up.
It' is a
2. The Republicans, knowing as always, they needed to disarm this winning arm of the Democratic Party, infiltrated lefties with a whole truckload of boogeyman nonsense about the DLC which the lefties as usual bought hook like and sinker. Howard Dean, that ultiamte winner boy, who actually governed DLC style in VT, had a fight with them when they didn't think he could win the Presidency and supported another candidate.
In short, this DLC crap the nut left spews is self-defeatist.
It's only allowed the Republicans to wonk you with your strong arm yet again.
3. As for rebuilding without, a party doesn't get stronger by losing continuously. It gets weaker and weaker and goes away. I believe with the loss of the Presidency this fall and the Congress retaken by the GOP with McCain's win, that it will in fact be the end of the line for Dems. In that respect GoldenBoy is right in his observation that I think Hillary is the Dems only hope)
The left never learns. This assinine intolerant litmus test you are hanging your pole from as if it were a good thing factually has merely disempowered you steadily over the years. You lost blue collar white men, did that make you stronger? Did it make you stronger to lose the Southern Baptists? Did it make you stronger to lose working Catholics? To lose the Jews by insisting on being so ridiculously pro-Muslim and anti-Semite? Is it going to make you stronger this NOvember to have lost feminists and a lot of working women and Chicanos? No, of course not.
It's only going to tramp out the left's last light.

And HOW DARE people actually vote for him! What's with this "democracy" crap? Didn't they get the memo?

Well,my dear "Persia"
As for this How dare he run for President in an open primary! He should have conceded immediately to The Anointed One
It occurs to me the "Annointed One" is the junior Senator from Illinois who decided he should run the whole world before he opened the door to his Senate Office and his rather rabid, nutty and uneducated supporters.
But since he and you and your co-vulgarians insist Obama's a Big Enough Boy, that means he needs to be a big boy when the right comes after him and his potty-mouthed wife. And they will. Obama's closet is a chockfull nest of pretties: Senate Absenteeism, Chicago Slumlord connections, mysterious unexplained raises for Mrs. Hussein-Obama on the taxpayers payroll, nuclear waste bills getting shelfed and at the same time more than weak on real accomplishments.
AFter his defeat you'll promptly blame it on the "racism" of white America too rather than your charlatan's faulty ambition and your own biggoted mug.
You're so fucking pathetically predicatable.

@rbohemian
We really need to learn to shut up and do what we're told. You'd think we would've learned after eight years of G.W. Bush, huh?
My favorite bit in this thread has been people casting aspersions on my nick, though. Because I spent hours and hours thinking up the best way to represent myself in the letters section of an Internet magazine. (Do you think MO'Fullofit meant to imply I'm mixed-race? Or just of insufficient 'pedigree'?)
