60. I refuted your ridiculous claim that Chaffe is a "Liberal" upthread.

I expressed my opinion clearly,
supported it directly,
and gave your claim all the time that it merited.

Can you see the humor and irony in THIS statement?

"you don't get to dictate shit to me"

Fortunately, I HAVE a rewarding and demanding life outside of DU,
so I don't have the luxury (or curse) of hovering over the keyboard, responding to your demands, or baby sitting your tantrums.
You will just have to get along without me sometimes.


The Democratic Party HAS drifted dangerously to the conservative right over the last 25 years. THAT is undeniable.
Part of this Rightward Drift is opening the door to Republicans,
giving them a seat at our table,
and a vote in our Party.
NOw, some can't seem to figure out why we can't seem to pass even the most remotely Democratic Policies like a simple Public Option....in our OWN Party,
but lets all party for the New Republican!!!!
Well DUH!

So I'm not joining the parade welcoming another Republican into our Party,
giving him a seat at the table,
and a vote on our Policy.
You, of course, are perfectly within your right to celebrate another Step to the Right.
That doesn't ruin my day or precipitate a childish keyboard tantrum.


We disagree, one of us politely.
