133. I agree with you

except I do like the confrontational approach when it is needed and I personally think it is. Even if I did not being an older person, my sons respect it and it is what will get many younger people interested because many of them don't think anyone does care. I also think with the "isms" we absolutely have to stand up and shout "NO!". I understand the politics and strategy of Nancy Pelosi and am not against what she is doing but I AM against people who say we should just sit down and shut up and let her work her magic. There is a place for all of it. There is a need for all of it. Still, we are keeping Harry Reed's powder dry. I don't think this has proved out to be helpful.

I think all of this is the R's defining us as a party in disarray. Seriously, a party not in some kind of disarray (large or small) is a stagnant group of people who are not really trying to change the game by much. We are in such a place I think they are missing the point. Their tiny step approach for at least 40 years has kept us going backwards in a hurry. We have had a few good gains but the R's always take it apart and we really hear nothing about it. There are times I actually think our party is agreeing with what the R's do. That is being too quiet because they do not agree. They just do not want to look like we actually ever lose our cool. This is the time we should be leaving our cool splattered all over every wall. IMO

In politics disagreement and angling for your position and working in the public's view should be the way it is done. Blindly saying, "Whatever my leader says" gets us nothing but backwards movement. The R's are saying it now but they are still blowing their mouths off all over the place, agree with their leaders or not.

We need to not care what R's say and not listen to the people in our party who want us to just let them take care of it and vote for them.

Sorry for the rant. I have had a hot and busy and unpleasant morning and I just sat down and out it came. I will leave it but I so respect your thoughts on diversity, we need more approaches and I think we agree.
