I don't enjoy GD anymore

238. No, actually, I mix with ordinary people. Across the country. Most people agree with the

prevailing sentiment on DU regarding foreign intervention. Most people are far more concerned about losting their jobs and their health care and their homes and are asking where the money is coming from for all these foreign wars when we claim to have no money for education and HC and other REAL National Security issues.

You must mix only with political junkies by that same logic.

This 'you cannot govern' meme sprang up around 2004 to attempt to slap down the idea that Progressive Democrats were capable of running this country. I rejected it then and still reject it.

Please post a link to the numbers you just posted.

And who is this 'they' you speak of? The only people I know who adhere to the notion that Progressive Democrats cannot run the country are political insiders on both sides, and even half of them don't agree.

Just one more thing regarding 'governing'. Looking at the state of the country and especially the Middle and Working class, not to mention the poor, your argument is that the 'governing' Progressive Dems are not capable of completely falls apart. Unless you think the 'governing' under which we've been operating over the past several decades that led to the dire state of the country today, is somehow a success.

Polls show that a majority of Americans have lost complete confidence in this 'governing'.

Progressive Democratic 'fringe' policies MADE THIS COUNTRY what it was until the kind of 'governing' you claim is what we need, began in the eighties and the country has been declining in every way ever since.

Arguing on what constitutes 'governing' over the past several decades isn't going to bolster your condemnation of the 'left' or your claim that Progressive ideas are not acceptable for 'governing'. The record itself proves you wrong.
