Reply #78: Oh noes....I'm MF's "enemy" now!!!

Titling your thread to highlight how closed minded single payer advocates are wasn't your intention at all, right? Nor was it the last time (last week) you started a thread with exactly the same premise. We get it...us leftie nutbaggers are getting in the way of Howard Dean's vision for a half-assed, two-tiered system.

And now, with a little criticism (and that is exactly how I feel the tone of your OPs lately have been), you have declared me your enemy?

Who is being divisive here? Advocate your goddamned point and quit it with the "I'm your enemy", "You hurt my feelings" bullshit. That "woe is me" crap earns you no points, and frankly pisses me off when you spent your time framing your potential allies as closed-minded jerks. How quickly you turn on someone for a little criticism...it's not about YOU, you know.

You want your half-assed public option made into law and see potential allies to the left of you...allies that have been shut out of the process by your political allies, and your approach is to criticize them and imply they are closed-minded after THEY are not allowed speak? They are angry...get it? And they were made that way on purpose by elected Democrats.

And here you come to tell them that they are unrealistic and closed-minded. That's blaming the victim.

You should direct your criticism towards the assholes that shut out your best allies from the system and is now negotiating away your position, too. But then again, that is deserved because you never lead with your weakest position.....never. If you bought Dean's argument that the public option is what we should push for first, then you are reaping those benefits now. Leading with your weakest position is a SURE WAY for the other side to win.
