I didn't get a chance to get back on to write a rebuttal to the comments in my last diary. By now, the diary is in the ether and the response I finally wrote this morning will not be seen. It's important that the arrogance on here should be noted, especially since not a whole lot of good is coming out of the writings from so many in the DKos community. If they are just going to kiss the butts of the Democratic Party leaders, than why bother writing. When Senator Obama appeared, you had a chance to BLAST the party for Kerry and all the stunts that Biden, Shumer, Hillary, the Nelsons, Feinstein, Landrieu, Pryor, Salazar, Dodd, Bayh and Lieberman pull off. They are destroying the party and the message for their own damn egos. Bill Clinton didn't get elected because he was middle of the road. He got elected because he showed Americans that he cared.
Can you believe that we lost the assault weapons ban and John Bolton got put in the UN, and hardly a word came from the Democrats. Kerry cared but he let Bush, an imbecile, use him like a dirty mop on a smelly fishing boat or perhaps swift boat would be better. And what do they do on Dkos when Senator Obama comes on...they treat him like royalty, especially after he voted to confirm Rice, which nobody has been able to explain to me.
Below is the rebuttal I posted at the end of my diary today. I want all you linguists to have a chance to read it because perhaps you write well but you don't do a whole lot for getting this party on the right direction.

You people are not informed, you don't have a scintilla of knowledge about economics and with all the cunning linguists on here, you say nothing and accomplish nothing. More insults but they're all true. What has the informed political discussion accomplished besides making some of you all proud of what you wrote?
What I said in the beginning of the diary was look around, we aren't gaining, we're losing. With all the bad things that have happened to the Administration, including treasonous acts, lies that led to the murder of 2000 of our soldiers and complete incompetence, what have you all accomplished with this discussion?
I was blasted just like this a year ago for screaming that John Kerry should wake the hell up and listen to some of our complaints. Many of you jumped all over me for that because we needed unity. We didn't lose a single vote because of a lack of unity, we lost because so many of you are as spineless as Kerry was and didn't scream along about all the stupid things he did. You most literate diarists are happy with losing by 3 million votes to the worst president ever...to a man who has never accomplished anything in his life...you losers are happy and looking forward to what? What good has come out of anything you've done? We thought Obama was one of the good ones. Uh Uh, he caves just like the rest. He doesn't go on the talk shows to counter the Republican lies about Wilson and like Kerry, he doesn't ridicule Bush.
So many of you have no idea what politics are all about if you think we should sit back and allow the Democrats to continue Kerry politics. Some of you are stupid enough to think Kerry should run again.
You're so quick to jump. When I put forward that Social Security and Medicare are unfairly taxing the middle class, some of you idiots thought I was a racist. You say I name call? Instead of trying to understand anything about economics, you follow your leaders and like them, do nothing. You can understand Abu Grahib but you have no understanding of the tax structure and you nee to get off your asses and learn.
We can't physically take over the Democratic Party but at least from this vantage point we have the ability to let Democrats know that we are pissed and want change or we won't vote for them. Pollyanna was a perfect name for some of you who were euphoric at what Obama wrote. I wasn't at all. I appreciated his appearance but he said just more of the same. How can you all be happy with that?
I don't have the time many of you have to sit on here all day and write perfect diaries. Yes, I make typos, spelling and grammar mistakes that the word spell checker misses and mistakes like switch no for know. However, what I write comes from a lot more knowledge and life experience than most of you and the idea that you cannot get by those errors but you excuse John Kerry is beyond my comprehension. Look for the content not the punctuation.
Why didn't any of you geniuses comment on:
Senator Corzine, a Democrat, is neck and neck with Doug Forrester, a typical Republican liar who would shove God down your throat to win one vote.
I also didn't hear anything about:
In Alabama, Condee, Senator Obama's choice for Secretary of State, was cheered very loudly an the football game between the Tennessee Volunteers and the Alabama Crimson Tide, deep in state America.
or:
My two asshole Senators, Shumer and Clinton don't attack Bush on lying about the war and Shumer said he'd vote the same way now as he did in 2002 because he believes in the Global War on Terror.
You didn't think it was necessary to comment on what Shumer said?
or:
Republicans are trashing Joe Wilson and they're saying that the Senate found him to be a liar. Where the f___k are the Democrats turning the tables on these Republican lies. It's not true! They lie and lie and lie and never get punished for it.
I guess you losers think that this is Ok too. Why should busy people like Obama bother himself with counteracting Republican lies? Right, that's how you think?
Well Karl Rove loves you all! You're supposed to be our best and our most concerned and you are afraid to tell the Democrats and Senator Obama and Representative Slaughter why you are furious with the party. Karl loves you guys picking on grammatical errors yet losing every battle. You're so effective at getting nothing accomplished, you'd think Rove put some of you here himself!
