"Obama needs your back"? No.

Evidently, what he needs is our advice and guidance, before he strays so far from his base that he discourages / turns off their support.

Public financing reversal?

FISA reversal?



Today, all I heard on TV was speculation regarding right wing VP choices (led by homophobe Sam-freakin'-Nunn?)

No! Loud and clear.

It's our job to tell our leaders what we want, and their job to do it. (Thus, the name "Democrats". Seriously, it means something. We believe in democracy. They believe in a republic. One's bottom up. The other's top down. Think about it.)

And, please, don't emulate the "loyal bushies". Maybe if the loyal bushies were less loyal, and offered more helpful friendly criticism in advance of disaster, Bush's administration wouldn't have been so god-awful.

1. And if he doesn't listen?

What if he decides that he knows what he's doing, and this is what he has to do to win? What if he just feels like he knows better than you what it takes to win, and just won't listen to you?

Do we vote McCain then?

Democrats aren't sheep, we are lemmings.

6. Nothing wrong with lemmings...

That follow the best possible course.

[jobycom]

8. They don't follow the best course, they follow a course laid out for them in ancient times.

Often with no understanding or where that course leads.

And yeah, I know lemmings don't really run off cliffs.

[The Doctor.]

9. If that course had to do with 'survival', then is was a good one.

It's a good idea to follow a similar course now with so much at stake.

2. So what are your feelings on the Bill that will pass regardless of

what Obama does.

I thought that was the issue. Or is it? :shrug:

3. 2000: It's not like our votes matter anyways! Vote for Nader.

[FrenchieCat]

5. MYDD has not much improved since Hillary suspended her campaign

Especially bringing up the Public financing in order to pile on Obama.

Sick.

4. Exactly...

"...And, please, don't emulate the "loyal bushies". Maybe if the loyal bushies were less loyal, and offered more helpful friendly criticism in advance of disaster, Bush's administration wouldn't have been so god-awful."

7. Hey, preaching to the choir in my case.
