I'm sorry folks, but I'm going back to being a lurker. At least for a little while.
The degree of nonsense and puritannicism I've seen on this site in the past two weeks has been frustrating and unbearably sad.
We are so close to something so real and important, and this is what we muster? Sheesh, most of you won't last a week when he's President.
It was one thing to call out Obama on FISA, which was certainly not what I wanted him to do, but I wasn't gonna judge him on it, considering that what one would do when President is different from what one would do when they are a senator, presumptive nominee or not.
But to not cut him slack on this Clark business is a bridge too far.
This site has become a repository for wingnuts who no longer draw conclusions on anything but what is directly in front of their nose. They are unable to see stratagems beyond their ideology, and they give their candidate, the best we've ever had, no slack.
What have we become?
Not even Kos is immune from such poor judgment.
I will make up for his absence, as well as for the absence of other purity trolls and get Barack Obama elected.
Hey Markos: I don't think Barack will bust out the tiny violins for you.
This site has changed, and no longer for the better. I have been here for four years, and what used to be a place for constructive conversations has become a haven for the kneejerker, the seeker of political pornography.
I'll be back when and if it begins to improve.
