I love this place. Don't get me wrong. I was in Las Vegas for the first convention and in Chicago for the second. People were great. Energy was amazing. The debate was off the hook yo. But seems to me things have changed around here. Too many off topic posts, Kos railing against newspapers, people spitting on Krugman for not towing the party line. What the hell is going on?
I used to be more of a lurker in the early days. Representing Canada and Toronto on Howard Dean's campaign. For real, shit was tight back then. We had a mission and we went out and executed it. Media elites decide Dean deserved another fate and we were banished to the backrooms. Carville and Rahm decided to push DFA out. Bullshit.
Now what do we have left. Obama has got mad political skills. Got to admire the ducking on weaving on photos and gay military shit that don't matter. He is focused on the big picture. Health care and the economy. Like he should, I guess. Anyone who read his books could tell his was not true blue liberal. Nothing wrong with a big tent.
I still love the guy and all but he ain't sticking up for the little guy anymore. Appointing a GOP Utah gov to the most important post. For real???? That shit is wack. We all soldiers but why am I fighting for this?? Somebody has to set him straight yo.
Brings me back to this place. We got those GOP crackers on the run. Time to bring down the hammer. Instead it is John Stewart who is holding Obama accountable. That should be our job. In this community. So stop letting Obama get away with it. Tell him stop with the poetry slams and organic gardens and get on with changing America.
Peace.
