BTW this also kinda deflates the wingnut theory that we never criticize president obama, doesn't it wingnuts?
Total misinterpetation. They are saying dem voters will not vote for politicians who don;t follow through with what they say about reform. They aren't trying to bring the party more left. They are trying to hold dems accountable in congress for what they say in the election or they won't come back to congress. That is a reasonable request. Its obvious that some of the blue dog dems are not representing the majority of the people that voted for them by being more republican than democrat so why should dems vote for them. T
he republicans are saying both in congress and the talking heads and blogs that the party needs to be obstructionist and prevent the government from working at all until obama is out of office. They are also saying they are unhappy in general with all of government including republican congressman and want to start a new party. That is far, far different rush. We dont have a hoffman on the liberal side undercutting a democrat in the general election. If we did, we would do it in the primaries and put them on the democrat ticket and not create a whole new conservative libertarian wingnut party. Plus, i THINK repugs are ignoring the fact that congressman are doing exactly what they want - being the party of no, the do nothing party, being the obstruction to any vital change. They are spewing the same venom telling obama to shut >p, talking at teabagger meetings, talking about secession, spreading a climate of fear based on non existent radicalism that they somehow think obama is portraying. Look at Inhofe lying about global warming and telling the world he uses the bible to guide his decisions in congress and paul being a libertarian in congress. nOT right enough for you? How about the entire party voting no on the stimulus while most agreeing on at least the first bailout. I dont know if its conservative but its stupid so I guess it must be.
As for the Democrats, they keep thinking the way to get elected is to be a little more like the Republicans. Look what its got the two Democrats in Virginia and New Jersey, a pink slip.
I really wish the Democrats would be Democrats and not spineless wishy-washy politicians, some have become. Obama stood up and showed he was a Democrat and he waxed McCain in the election. When will they learn?
