21. Excuse me, but if Senator Obama isn't good enough for you
then you'll never find an electable Democrat you could support. You guys want to blame the DLC for all the country's problems, yet when a brilliant, electable, non-DLC Democrat like Sen Obama comes along, you can't wait to lynch him.

I'm just as angry as you but that doesn't change the fact that leftists are and always have been a minuscule minority in the United States. Please give me a link that disproves that statement...Cite me an election in American history when a leftist has won...Give me one example, please, just one, of where a leftist nominee or candidate has ever accomplished a damn thing besides glorious defeat (see Adlai Stevenson, Stuart Symington, Gene McCarty, Bobby Kennedy, George McGovern, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis, Bill Bradley, and Dennis Kucinich...(I deliberately omit Howard Dean because he's one of the most politically moderate Democrats in America in spite of his supporters delusions).

And if you consider Barrack Obama a centrist, then I cannot help but consider you "fringe".

BTW, implying that I "have a lot in common with Al From" is funny. If you're so politically sophisticated, and deeply involved in changing the party, and on the state committee and all, why don't you know how to spell your enemy's name? It's Al Fromm-but I guess accuracy is not your strong point. Just smearing anyone who dares to disagree with you.
