Teabaggers are screwing us, their new allies the extreme left are screwing us too. The current Democratic party problems are like family problems. they should be handled as such, but not so long as the extremists are in charge of the microphone.
When any family and many do have problems, they keep their arguing in house. They don't pull out a megaphone and start airing their dirty laundry to the community. Not the extreme left, their logic dictates that the only way to get the administration more in line is to blast them publicly. After all isn't that the Democratic way? Free speech, holding politicians accountable and all that great sounding wordplay. We the people and all that. Nice words.
I don't like this latest spending freeze idea by the administration, i hate it as a matter of fact. But I'm not gonna shoot myself in the foot by publicly badmouthing the president. You elitist left wing intellectuals think you can sway him over to your thinking by trying to publicly badmouth the guy. On the contrary, now he has to dig in his heels because if he caves to your public temper tantrum he will be seen as weak willed. God forbid you handle this quietly behind the scenes. No, not you guys. You guys are perfect and pure. whatever you say is holy. If you propose something it has to be the RIGHT thing to do. Honestly I think you high IQ Mensa types who are so in love with your intelligence just lack common sense.
The bottom line is the Radical right and the radical left are doom for this country. Look at what they did to Clinton, impeachment and witch hunts for 8 years. Forcing him more to the right than he may have wanted to go. At the same time the extreme left blasted him over welfare reform and NAFTA and other policy they did not approve of. Instead of supporting him and attempting to air out the differences privately, they joined the Clinton attacking from the left. Yet Clinton got the last laugh when the only metric to the people that mattered beyond right and left went his way, 22 million jobs created during his presidency.
I didn't agree with NAFTA, Welfare reform then or this spending freeze and Afghanistan now for example. But I wasn't dancing in the streets in opposition like most left wing extremists are now. They along with the bad moves the Obama admin are making are screwing the rest of us who will have to deal with some teabagger as POTUS. Maybe the new Left wing, Right wing chant will be long live Sara Palin. You geniuses deserve her.
And please, cut the victim card. How you have stayed quiet long enough. How you have to hold their feet to the fire. How you have compromised so much already. Or whatever other patriotic sounding slogan you come up with describing how by attacking the administration is not only your right but patriotic duty. You guys don't care about real people, you care about an ideology, just like the right. How else can a right wing Supreme court sleep at night giving Corporations the same rights as flesh and blood humans. We are screwed big time. In the history of this nation your progressive ideas have never been fully implemented because you guys cannot be a part of a team, good or bad. You want to run the show, you guys are all about yourselves. Wanting to help the little guy are big words, but it's all a smokescreen if you can't make it happen in the real world. By not compromising your holy ideals, your allowing an evil worse than Obama and Rahm to be unleashed on us again. But hey, you didn't betray your values so your clean in all this. After all you are the victims. And you are tired of settling on the lesser of two evils, ain't that right, lefties.
From 1968 for the last 40 years before Obama, Repubs have been in charge 28 of these 40 years, Dems 12. In those same 40 years Cost of living has gone up, quality of life has gone down, the middle class is disappearing, the poor are getting poorer while the rich get richer. with all these facts in front of you the left wing (so called base) thinks that infighting is the key to more progressive policy, Fantasy land I think.
Instead of bitching that Obama is having to make concessions to the Ben Nelsons, Mary landrieus and Joe Liebermans why don't you, the all powerful progressives vote them out. Aren't you the true representatives of the people, don't you have the masses behind you? How could they get elected if YOU represent all the people. Maybe, just maybe its because you don't have as many PEOPLE as you say you do. Otherwise this country would have only progressives as elected officials. So in the real world you guys don't have enough supporters in the general public, but want a President who was elected by many progressives AND centrists, Republicans and others to propose only policy you approve of. Get off your high horses, this country is too diverse, it isn't all about you. I'm sick and tired of you holier than thou types on the right and left fucking things up for the rest of us. You are playing the MSM's blame game and being manipulated by the right at the same time. Check your anger at the door and use your famed liberal intellect to see that what is going on is counterproductive. Obama is fucking up, I'm pissed at him too. But I'm not trying to air my families dirty laundry on public. I'm trying to work behind the scenes to get him to give us real change. If he doesn't I'll cast my protest in the ballot box, not on Rachel Maddows show, FDL or some other place that will just make it harder to get what this country needs. You guys are backing Obama up against a wall, and he seems to be pushing back in the wrong ways to not appear like you are running him. Stop the fuckin insanity, it isn't a you thing. It's a we thing. Another Republican Congress and administration will destroy this country. You are playing right into their hands but are so full of anger you cant see it. I don't give a shit if you like what I wrote or not, you don't pay my bills. It's my opinion and it's my right to express it.
