On an open thread, I was wondering why Hillary and Joementum completely ignore the blogs and what the grassroots think about issues such as the war. Do they think we are just some pesky gadflys who wield no influence and have no valid point of view? Do you wonder what Bill Clinton has up his sleeve for Hillary by advising her to continue to support this misguided war? What does he know that we don't? Does he think Iraq will turn up roses by election day 2008, and by having Hillary support the war, she will look stronger and smarter than people like Edwards and Kerry?
I have been amazed that people here have been months ahead of even the more progressive Dems; it seems to me that the more aware Dems have people monitoring this site, and reporting back to them. So Hillary and Bill should really pay attention to what happens here. It seems that what happens here affects the mood/opinion of many Americans a few months later.
As far as Joementum, has he really lost his mind? Or does he not care that Sean Hannity loves him, and intelligent Democrats think he is nuts?? And why does Joe not join the Republican party? He is hurting people like Murtha and others, who speak clearly and honestly about this war. Hannity and the other wingnuts use Joementum, hold him up as a "sensible" Democrat, thus painting anyone who disagrees with Joe's nutty opinions as "extreme," and THAT hurts the party.
I am going to send Joe a fax tonight, asking him to please join the Republican party, because he is nothing but an embarrassment to honest Democrats everywhere.
