118. Those who insist that THEY "Live in the Real World"...don't.
It is not a valid argument.

I don't "hate" or "loathe" President Obama.
I actually like the MAN, and admire his family.
I have NEVER attacked him personally (like you just did to me),
but have ALWAYS directed any criticism toward policy, and positions that allow the implementation of Conservative Policy. It is not MY fault that this administration, in "seeking bi-partisan consensus" has lurched WAY to the right of where a Democratic President with a Mandate for Change should be STANDING.

Pushing FOR Cuts in Government Spending and De-Funding the Safety Net during a Recession
IS STANDARD REPUBLICAN DOGMA. I don't support it because I'm a DEMOCRAT,
and that is only ONE example.

The only "hate" and Loathing I see here is coming from YOU.
You don't live "in the REAL World".
You live in your own little world.

I DO believe that "Centrism", "triangulation", and "Seeking Bi-Partisan (Republican) Approval has been very destructive to the traditional goals of the Democratic Party,
and has damaged the Democratic Party Brand, but THAT didn't get started with president Obama.
He is simply the guy riding the "Centrist" horse today.

My problem with "Centrists" is that they agree with Republicans 1/2 the time,
and I am a 100% FDR/LBJ DEMOCRAT.
I can't support Republican Policy no matter WHO is pushing it,
and THAT is MY "Real World" of Working Class Americans for which I have been fighting for over 44 years when I joined the Party of FDR/LBJ.

So you can take your little hate filled personal attack,
and keep it in your own vile little world.


"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans.
I want a party that will STAND UP for Working Americans."
