Reply #87: The "Purist Progressives" like myself

Are not arguing methods, we are arguing results and goals.

The people who are arguing method are arguing against common democratic goals.

If there's a fracture in our "Big Tent," it's in the fact that people we thought stood with us in principle against Bush are now saying it's all right for President Obama to do the same things(Like Obama's admission that he pushed a Repulican HRC at us in the hopes of making them happy).

There's no real argument here- either we stand for certain things, or we're not Democrats. This isn't a sports event. We don't get points for "Winning" when we capitulate to a Republican worldview.
