An Unauthorized Appeciation Thread for DUer, Scuba ... [View all]

I wanted to say ... I appreciate you, Scuba.

You have been a harsh critic of President Obama and Democrats over the course of the year ... and we have butted heads frequently; but I have noticed that I have not seen you post, or pile on to, a single anti-President Obama/anti-Democrat thread. Rather, I have seen you post things that put President Obama and Democrats in a positive light.

I would suggest that this is election strategy at it's best ... and a far better strategy/approach for getting the progressive legislation, we both seek, than the 100s of "Democrats are Doomed because they did/didn't {insert talking point here}.

The former can have a positive (at best) or neutral (at worst) effect on voter sentiment/turn-out; whereas, the latter can have a neutral (at best) or negative (at worst) effect on voter sentiment/turn-out.

Thanks.
