Reply #5: If they don't deserve the enthusiasm, then they don't. Artificially firing up [View All]

[Better Today]

Democrats or even looking for a way to fire them up artificially is just counter to anything I want to be a part of.

If them Dems want an enthusiastic base, they need to pump up the HCR bill so they quit losing those of us that wanted Health CARE reform, not Health INSURANCE mandates; show that transparency they claimed they were going to; end the wiretapping; charge the war criminals; get Blackwater and the like out of conflicts and demand repayment of the billions of lost and fraud; get stimulus to the little and middle guys;.......

If all of these things were being done, the Afghanistan issue would be "forgiven"

I sure don't understand everyone being so friggin focused on the Afghanistan issue. You're claiming it will be THE thing that causes all of the disenchantment, but it isn't. Obama said he was going to focus more effort on Afghanistan, I had no expectations that he would do otherwise. It's all this other shit that is losing me.

Edited to add: OH! and lets not forget things like DADT that he should've solved by now, particularly if he is going to send more troops out there.
