(62,325 posts)issues like the Massive Spying, the constant violations of our rights, and rather than have any intelligent discussion, the minute someone even raises an issue anymore, immediately it's 'Obama'. Everything is about Obama, to THEM. It's simply inconceivable for them, or it's just a tactic, that for most Americans the President whoever it may be, is just not their primary focus in life. Their parents, children, LIVES which imho, are AS IMPORTANT as any president, are their concerns.
I find any kind of adulation creepy and dangerous to democracy. All politicians are to me are the people we gave a job to, because we all can't do it, a job they asked for. When they do it well, let them know, when they don't we most definitely must let them know.
I KNOW you are not the only one with these sentiments, there are LOTS of DUers who are sick and tired of what passes for political discussion here and are not fond of the people, the few, from other countries who have the gall to slam Democrats on this forum in this country for standing up for THIS COUNTRY.
Thanks for saying it and I back you 100%.
Maybe it's time for the admiins to clarify what this forum is supposed to be. Is it meant to be only a cheerleading, online campaign forum, or is it about ISSUES. Because if politics ISN'T about issues, what is it about? A team sport where the country takes second place?
No point wasting time on a forum where people have to walk on eggshells in order to support DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES and a whole lot of people have already made their decisions about that.
