2. Oh, it will be a coalition of both groups combined with non-critical Democrats and
third parties and non-voters. But ultimately it will be the fault of the candidates who haven't convinced a majority of voters that they deserve to keep their jobs. Whether that's in 2010, 2012, or 2062.

3. Definately Democrats
But then, they had the world by the tail and blew it this year by thinking corporate campaign cash was more important than securing a base that would have remained loyal to them much like Reagan did for conservatives.

A self inflicted wound.

18. You mean "liberals who at least expected 'a seat at the table' for all the work they did"
But found that all the "seats at the table" were already
occupied by Corporat shills, DLCers, and Republicans?

5. You forgot the correct choice
"Conservative Democrats who decide that just because the Republicans have decided to withdraw from the legislative process doesn't mean that their views shouldn't be heavily represented in the writing of legislation, so they decide to do the Republicans' work for them"

6. But we'll be so much more UNIFIED when we are whining about how THEY'RE
ruining the country. Like the good ole days under Dubya. :silly:

7. DU in particular has been very helpful to them
what with numerous posts asking DUers to stop giving them money or not vote for Democratic candidates and trying to bring down the Democratic President and Congress.

33. Don't support pukes like Evan Bayh
The sob chose WellPoint and the health industry over the people of Indiana that voted for him as the lesser of two evils. Let's end this never ending cycle of different flavours of evil.

9. I'm always amazed that libs in DU don't realize that the chaos-creators are Repigs
Repugnicans pay operatives to sit in on websites like this one, pretend to be disgruntled libs, and create havoc.

My only question is, why can't some libs get that through their heads? Some libs are soo gullible, that they'll fall for anything, and before you know it, they're falling in lockstep with the chaos-creating Repigs in here.

11. The sad part is, I suspect many of the disruptors here really are lefties.
The left has always had that whole parade-of-cats self-destructiveness thing down to a science. :eyes:

12. Some might be, but don't you ever start thinking it's only lefties
I actually MET a paid Repuke operative. It was a neighbor. He got PAID for spending time on an AOL chat room and pretending to be a lib, then shaping the conversation so that libs fought with one another. Then I began to read articles about how the GOP pays operatives to do exactly that.

Until then I was quite innocent. Now? Now I've got my eyes wide open. I know some of the "libs" in here that disrupt things to hell and attack other libs, Obama, etc. are REPUKES posing as libs.

13. i've heard similar stories.
Edited on Sat Dec-12-09 01:55 AM by RepublicanElephant
and you just know that all those gop billionaires can well afford to hire a virtual army to swarm the internet as well as call-in shows on c-span and even liberal talk radio shows.

bottom line... we REAL dems need to realize that as dem politicians are torn down, repubs get more emboldened and are NOT going to stay home on election day.

38. And they do pay operatives to apply for membership here at DU and everywhere
These people just sit here pretending to be libs but actually disrupting. They're here to create chaos, to disrupt, and to stop any cohesion among libs.

39. I'm not saying there aren't a few lib assholes - I mean look at Lieberman
HOWEVER, that there are paid GOP operatives in here and in all other lib websites, clubs, groups, etc., you BET there are. There are articles written on that, I've met one in the FLESH, and I suspect my very own family member who is a GOPer has been involved in that.

14. Ineffectual Democrats
I know that those dang loud-mouthed lefties will be blamed, but the cause of any Republican victory--and I mean even before elections, I mean in the middle of our legislative efforts--will be wobbly-kneed Dems.

21. The DNC leadership is the right answer
Kaine and Daughtry and that crowd. And of course, those who get hired to do one thing, and then do another. Cynical politicians.

Blame for any coming losses will lie squarely with the administration the Washington Dems.

35. Then why do the voters pick such corrupt people?
It has to come back to the voters eventually. this is a republic. We pick our leaders. If we do such a bad job they are always corrupt, it's us we have to fix.
