re: #253 Obdicut

Yeah. That’s totally why I’ve said that the Democrats have fucked up the campaign for the health bill, have moved way too slowly on gay rights, have screwed up ideas about gun control, and are, in general, far more responsive to special interests than they are to their constituents.

It’s because I’m so partisan.

The Democrats are at least trying to actually do something. The GOP has nothing to offer at the moment. What’s more, the GOP is actively promoting climate change denial. Their current incarnation sucks. It’s not partisan to acknowledge how badly the GOP is failing.

I’m out of this thread.

Obdi … I know you left the thread, but in case you circle back, I’d like to say that criticizing Dems you feel are not “progressive” enough does not make you non partisan. A better test would be for you to find some GOP types that you like and agree with and cite those examples. And I don’t recall you ever doing that on your own. You may try to do it now in response to my post, but unless it’s organic and comes from your heart, it is not convincing. I noticed in the next thread, you asked if there are “any” GOP types (other than Huntsman) with potential for the presidency who have both integrity and sane positions? The fact that you made that post suggests you think the answer is “no.” And I see that as a very partisan position if you feel the ONLY Republican worthy of the Presidency is Jon Huntsman. I mean, a true non partisan would see more good (albeit imperfect) candidates in the GOP than that.

Peace …
