Sometimes I feel like I just can't keep fighting the same fights here.

[Cant trust em]

Corporatism, the war(s), Obama's bipartisanship attempts, whatever.

It just feels like groundhog day sometimes.

1. Imagine how Hugo Chavez feels.

[Skittles]

2. oh we are certainly stuck in a rut

it will be some time before we see any hope of real change

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. I hear you.

And we had such high hopes...

Hang in there...

[mikelgb]

4. You mean woodchuck day.

[immoderate]

5. The evils we fight are insidious.

Time is on their side. They will never stop.

But they can lose. They can be wounded.

6. Then stop fighting here...go to their sites and fight there.

You never know...there may actually be one or two people who will hear what you say. It will also be much more challenging than preaching to the choir.

8. Maybe I should just out myself as a moderate and move on.

In the real world I feel like a radical socialist. When I'm here, I just feel slightly left of center.

[Curmudgeoness]

9. But doesn't it feel good to have a place where you are not considered

some loony fringe. I love that there are so many people here who are all over the place. On some issues, I can feel normal here, but in the "real world", I know just what you mean.

11. It's weird, because sometimes I wind up getting lumped in with conservatives

because I'm glad that the stock market went up or something. I guess I'm just not anti-capitalism enough.

[Curmudgeoness]

13. LOL. "not anti-capitalism enough". Well,

I am glad when the stock market goes up to---well, at least my stocks. I AM anti-capitalism, or at least what we are calling capitalism these days. But I am also sucked into that rat hole called the "market".

Don't take the people who condemn you too seriously. I have the feeling that many of them just like to be contrary. (I know that sometimes I do.)

14. I don't sweat it. I try to stay true to my values, but...

it's a little annoying to deal with people who can't distinguish between what I'm saying and what John Boehner is saying.

[Curmudgeoness]

16. Aggggghhhhhh! You have serious problems. nt

[Cant trust em]

17. Actually that's never happened, but you get my point.

That was just a test.

:rofl:

7. WHY DO YOU HATE GROUNDHOGS?

:cry:

[lame54]

12. because they hog all the ground...

selfish bastards

[Cant trust em]

15. hehehe

[handmade34]

10. can't stop fighting...

if you do, there will be a little tug on your left shoulder just when you least expect it... and it will nag at you and pinch you and make you itch... it will be just awful :kick:
