Response to Kos and the ubiquitous "waaaaaannnhh-waaaannnhhhh, Obama is not doing what I want" attitude.
Ok, so moveon is shutting down their ads - great, let the cry babies do what they want. That 'betray us' ad was stupid. The way to get to people in the middle - those who will change their minds - is not to call a general a "betrayer" of the people. Sure, the progs snicker and like it. That doesn't cut it in middle America. Maybe in San Fran and Seattle, but not in large chunks of the country. You need to make a coherent case to persuade people - not just name call. THAT is what Obama is referring to. If moveon can't take criticism, then they'll just take their ball and go home I guess. Whatever, maybe they'll be happier under a President McCain and a Republican administration again. Wankers.
I'm still trying to figure out why telecom immunity is so bad - they were told to do it by the government. Shouldn't the people in charge (namely Bush et al) be the ones that are prosecuted for this??? I don't think he is getting immunity. Who gives a shit if ATT is getting immunity? That's what you clowns are upset about?? Seriously Kos, grow the fuck up. No really, grow the fuck up.
If Obama did everything you wanted him to do, he would not get elected. Sad, but true. He needs to move to the center a bit (or, what is probably the case - PRETEND to move to the center a bit). My belief is that he will rule moderately his first term and be ultra-progressive during his second.
People in RED states will not vote for him if he doesn't appear moderate. Why can't you get that through your head? An ultra-progressive will never win in a nation that elected GW Bush not once but twice.
SO, STFU, and stop crying in your milk already.
Oh, and don't worry Kos, there are plenty of us who truly believe in progressive causes that we will overlook his faults and donate the max - simply because we don't need Republicans in power any longer. Of course, it looks like you are okay with that. Hey, money talks, and bullshit walks.
By the way, who would you like appointing Court justices for the next 4 years? That alone is worth MY $2,300. I don't care whether the prez is Obama, Clinton, Carter or the corpse of FDR. If you allow a Repub to get in power for the next 4-8 years, this country is in for some anal reaming - and I don't mean the good kind.
