Nate Silver: Senate may tip for GOP in 2014

[MADem]

47. I think that many of the complainers don't do anything BUT complain.

It's not that I "don't want to read them," it is that I tend to not take seriously anyone who tells me, with a straight face, that there is "no difference" between the GOP and the Democratic Party. That's either a clueless analysis or some serious trolling. And when they never get off their best intentions and do any work for candidates, I just have to consider the source. I'm afraid there are more than a few "sources" here who love to spread negativity, doom and gloom, and who never have a good thing to say about any Democrat for any reason. I find that curious and tiresome.

I hope we do have a majority here that are concerned enough to see the difference between candidates who want women to have equal pay for equal work, and those who think that it's OK to pay them less, or that a "minimum wage" should be an optional thing. I think more people should realize that even an imperfect plan to provide health care is better than no plan. I should hope that most people here are supportive of civil rights for all, are worried about how voting rights are being abrogated in some places, and are concerned about those sorts of issues.

Some days, though, I wonder.
