Where is all this "bad-mouthing" of the left coming from?

Like somehow they are not good partisans. They are whiners and complainers and they are never happy with anything the President might say or do. Why can't they see all that we have accomplished so far?

In my opinion, from the people on the left that I know, they are not "whining" and "complaining" about what has been accomplished so far. They are attempting to save the Party from a sudden death after such a promising start. They are doing everything they can do to get Democrats to wake the fuck up! It would be such a tragedy to see the dream end so quickly.

You cannot win on your present laurels. They are not that great. The other side is going to stomp you into the dust if you do not come out of your dream state. You cannot ignore or vilify your base. That is a suicide wish. You must acknowledge that they are an important part of the Party. Unless, of course, you do not believe they are needed?

The base is the foundation of the Party. Without the foundation, the Party crumbles to the ground. The base did not want the sell-out to the insurance companies. The base does not appreciate the cozy relationship with Wall Street. The base does not appreciate the continuation of wars in the Middle East. The base does not want the Party to fold and give more taxcuts to the wealthy.

The President has done some good things. It would be terribly sad and tragic to see it all end this November. But the fault is not with the left. The left is trying to help save the Obama Presidency. You may think they have a strange way of showing it? But, without the base, you are nothing.
