I am not a crazy liberal, but when I hear Obama speak, I always cry. He fills me with hope and I believe that he can unite the country with his positive message. I like John Edwards but he isn't really popular and he hasn't really been running for president for 8 years like his critics say. I like Hillary but she's a woman and as we all know, the Clinton years sucked.
We have Barack Obama now. You may have heard of him, but if you didn't, why did you log on to this site? Don't you know that this is now Barack Obama's home turf? Why are you reading this diary when you could be reading every single recommended diary that tells us how great Obama and how awful his opposition is?
All I know is that after visting dailykos.com 4 years ago, I was inspired by the collection of lost blue souls in this red country. We were united by change. Not change from the suddenly evil Clintons, but rather by change from the f'ing Bush years. Iraq, Homeland Security, environmental destruction (although dailykos.com never really did give a shit about the environment at the time). The point is, we all hated Bush.
Today, not so much it seems. Our readership doesn't give a shit about anything now other than recommending Obama diaries. WE GET IT, you are for Obama. Next. Ah the good old days when we could worry about our freedoms being taken away and an unjust war. Fuck it, the war is over, the surge worked, right? I mean, who cares if a million are dead and four times that have fled? It doesn't matter because we need to elect our man. And we're safe. You can't be free if you don't give up freedom, right? No more terrorist attacks in the US of A. Who cares what Congress is up to, we need to put 784 more Obama diaries on the front page. What? The earth is getting attacked by Martians! You all can run, I'm putting up an Obama diary.
Oh dailykos, how I long for what you could be.
I'm ready for the politics of new. You know, the politics where you destroy your opponent. Oh wait...
