2. when Carvelle comes out of his slimely cave and starts spouting
Edited on Thu Sep-15-11 04:21 PM by Whisp
how he is so much wiser than Obama,
yeh,
the whistle has been blown and they all are lined up ready for the shows and blogs to dispense the newest bullshit to be spread around these parts into the yaps and ears of the agape already ready to hear bad things about the President.

96. Carville said he needs to focus on jobs and indict the wall street criminals
What is so slimy about that? He's right. Obama's struggling and can use all the good advice he can get. What he does this last year will make or break him and dems for reelection. It's no time to get defensive with someone who's purportedly trying to help.

What was your opinion of those on the left who were attacking Bush when you were one of his supporters?

Did you believe they were victims of BDS?

45. A big percentage of your posts are certainly implying that..
That 80% number figures highly in a lot of your posts and we both know what it refers to.

"80% of liberal Democrats support Obama" with the strong implication being that if you aren't part of the 80% then you're wrong.

And yet 80% of liberal Democrats had their head stuck up their asses about Bush.

I just find it fascinating that one of the very strongest "STFU and support Obama" people on DU was at one time a Bush supporter.

You have already admitted that your track record of presidents that you support is far from good, you supported arguably the worst president ever and certainly the worst one of the last century.

Bush supporter's judgement isn't worth a bucket of warm spit.

Democrats should stick with the party, not to a particular person. When that person doesn't stick up for party ideals, he (or she) should be "attacked."

65. More desperate and more disconnected to reality.
Having been here for some time, it's odd that they aren't trumpeting what President Obama said today rather than reaching for their bullhorn shouting something incoherent.

The "I believe everything I read on the internet" crowd is akin to Glen Beck's audience.
Misinformed by people who aren't fair and balanced, desperately seeking attention.

I knew a long time ago that Obama was going to be re-elected.
The people that are haters don't see themselves as haters, they think they are patriots, just like the tea party assklowns.

But, it won't matter in the long run.
Because Obama will be re-elected anyway.

76. Yet you post threads where you praise the left and say you are a liberal.
You sure don't make any good sense when you look at your posting history. Just one long one-liner that does nothing positive. You need a new routine, this one is getting a little desperate on your part. :eyes:

81. I am only addressing attacks from the left, not the left itself.

83. You realize that doesn't sound credible right?
You are attacking the left, you said so in your OP. Nothing proves you are addressing attacks...that would require elaboration which you seem to be avoiding at all costs.

84. You just said yourself that that interpretation doesn't square with my past actions.

85. Wrong that is not what I posted.
And has nothing to do with the post. If you cannot support the left, then that is your problem. You have no consistency with your message so why you keep antagonizing the left is a mystery to most DUers.

80. you are right - there is desperation
Edited on Thu Sep-15-11 07:33 PM by Claudia Jones
The left and more importantly the everyday people are in desperate straits.

Here is Glen Ford on that very subject -

Having humiliated and marginalized the core constituencies of the Democratic Party in his first term, Barack Obama calls upon these same groups to give him four more years. For most, it would be difficult to even find the words to refuse. The president's essential conservatism, masquerading as consensus-building and bipartisanship, has helped move "the parameters of the national political conversation to a narrow spectrum, that goes from Obama, the corporate, center-right Democrat, to the Tea Party, the corporate-financed white nationalists." Left Democrats are wholly adrift.

There was no push for a national jobs program in Obama's first year, despite good chances for passage, because Obama did not want one. Labor's most sought-after legislation, the card-check bill that might reverse the steady decline in union membership, got nowhere in the Democratic Congress, because Obama did not support it. Then, in the second year, he dropped even the pretense that jobs were a top priority, and began shouting like a Republican banshee about deficits and the need for "austerity." Blacks saw their futures flushed down the toilet while Obama dismissed them with nonsense about fictitious rising tides. Latinos, whose growing numbers are shaping America's future, watched while the Democrat that two-thirds of them voted for deported more immigrants than his Republican predecessor.

Who has Obama NOT betrayed, in the traditional Democratic base? The environmentalists got their education in Obamaism last week, when the president made the executive decision to stick with George Bush’s pollution standards, to great applause from big business.For those who were looking for a president who would stand up to Wall Street and the Pentagon, Obama has been a dismal failure. But for those on the Right whose mission in life is to utterly smash the power of Blacks and unions, Obama has been a godsend.

The Democratic base, to the extent that it votes, will vote for Obama in 2012, seeing him as the "lesser of evils." But he is, in fact, the "more effective evil," having done more damage to Democratic core constituencies than any Republican could dream of.

98. Striker was the squadron leader. He brought us in real low. But he couldn't handle it.
Buddy couldn't handle it? Was Buddy one of your crew?

Right. Buddy was the bombardier. But it was Striker who couldn't handle it, and he went to pieces.

*Andy* went to pieces?

No. Andy was the navigator. He was all right. Buddy went to pieces. It was awful how he came unglued.

*Howie* came unglued?

Oh, no. Howie was a rock, the best tailgunner in the outfit. Buddy came unglued.

And he bailed out?

No. Andy hung tough. Buddy bailed out. How he survived, it was a miracle.

Then Howie survived?

No, 'fraid not. We lost Howie the next day.
