I agree with you about the state forums, too--I put stuff up in mine on occasion, and just get responses from the few die-hards...whereas in DUs past, those groups used to be jumping.

I'm sorry Manny didn't respond to you in his thread Capt. Obvious Apr 2014 #2

Manny self-deleted his thread. MineralMan Apr 2014 #22

I'm sorry he didn't respond to you eaither Capt. Obvious Apr 2014 #25

Yah, but Manny never really responds to MineralMan Apr 2014 #26

Maybe he has you on ignore Capt. Obvious Apr 2014 #27

No, he doesn't have me on ignore. MineralMan Apr 2014 #28

That one was particularly OTT. MADem Apr 2014 #33

I thought so, too. Apparently Manny, or whatever his name is, MineralMan Apr 2014 #38

You do get that it's a Nineteen Eighty-Four reference, right? Electric Monk Apr 2014 #40

Yes, of course. Hasn't everyone read that? MineralMan Apr 2014 #41

Tip O'Neil said that Dyedinthewoolliberal Apr 2014 #20

I should've known. He was a helluva legislator, and apparently a soothsayer as well. Tarheel_Dem Apr 2014 #29

Mah man Tip! Friend to all, including a geezer or two in my family! MADem Apr 2014 #36

One good way to spot 'em is they rarely, if ever, participate in threads that aren't about Obama. Tarheel_Dem Apr 2014 #45

Yer darn tootin! I've had enough, though--and I think a lot of us have! MADem Apr 2014 #48

Exactly....we have to get the mushy middle off the couches to vote in the midterms! VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #81

Yep....you have to appear POWERFUL to appeal to those....you have to make them understand VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #87

Exactly. But I'm under no illusion that we're actually dealing with "Democrats". It's the internet. Tarheel_Dem Apr 2014 #90

Yep...I tend to agree with that sentiment... VanillaRhapsody Apr 2014 #91

Tarheel, now that is an excellent STRATEGIC post. Thanks for that. Number23 Apr 2014 #100

It's time to move beyond them. Let them do their 3rd party thing, and leave Dems the hell alone. Tarheel_Dem Apr 2014 #106

I believe that's how the repubs started it. pangaia Apr 2014 #83

They have both the money Bobbie Jo Apr 2014 #127

Nader wouldn't have been the image I would have chosen myself BainsBane Apr 2014 #137

And how many Democrats in the Senate voted to confirm those five. hobbit709 Apr 2014 #6

What year was that? JoePhilly Apr 2014 #7

Nader had no more to do with than you did. hobbit709 Apr 2014 #9

Did voting for Nader help prevent Bush from getting to select the nominees? JoePhilly Apr 2014 #11

Just keep telling yourself that. hobbit709 Apr 2014 #12

Certainly did not help stop him from getting to do so. JoePhilly Apr 2014 #13

And TWO of the justices that gave the election to Shrub had those lopsided votes 30 years ago. hobbit709 Apr 2014 #15

So clearly, we should blame the current Democrats. JoePhilly Apr 2014 #17

I knew that was coming. What I call Standard Answer 35B. hobbit709 Apr 2014 #18

The reality, is the president basically gets the SCOTUS nominees he wants. DanTex Apr 2014 #14

Evidently NONE of them voted their conscience. hobbit709 Apr 2014 #16

Your point being? DanTex Apr 2014 #21

Robert Bork would disagree furiously! (Of course, that's what he ALWAYS did...!) MADem Apr 2014 #46

Why are you trying to make sense of nonsense? Benton D Struckcheon Apr 2014 #24

If we lose the Senate - then maybe progressives should leave the Democratic Party en masse Anansi1171 Apr 2014 #30

Point taken - and being "leaderless" was misguided Anansi1171 Apr 2014 #50

Gore was too corporate for you? That's all this would have taken stevenleser Apr 2014 #62

See, I didn't even say that, and I voted for Gore fascisthunter Apr 2014 #67
