You might be a ratfucker if you attack party brothers/sisters on the eve of an election

53. I can't tell you how upset I am.

I wasn't highlighted with my long winded posts describing the bereft of content campaigns that our candidates have been running. I can't tell you how upset I am that you didn't include that as one of your Rat F-ing things.

But hey, lay the blame on the posters here, not the candidates who ran campaigns utterly devoid of substance. Don't blame Senator Landrieu for insulting the people she needs to vote for her. No, don't bother blaming her, she's cool you see, she told it to the RW, um, one question. Would she file for unemployment in DC, or Louisiana?

Blame the folks here because Udall ran on Reproductive rights, and pretty much that alone. Don't take my word for it. Take the apparently RW CNN. http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/03/politics/udall-heckler-colorado Of course, since it was a major doner to many Democratic candidates who was shouting it out, perhaps the DNC will learn, nah.

Blame the folks here for sexist attacks on our opponent in Iowa. I'm sure that someone here wrote the speech that Harkin gave. Great job Senator, make the Republican the victim with one thoughtless comment. Damn those media outlets that reported on it so people in Iowa were aware of what was said and made it the damned news focus for the last vital days before the election. http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/elections/2014/11/02/iowa-harkin-senate-ernst/18389193/

But it's the people here who are gnashing their teeth and raging at the incompetence, the stupidity, the ill conceived actions of the party that are the blame.

We ran on Women's issues, and lost the support of women. We banged the "war on women" drum so often that it became a phrase that made people grit their teeth and cringe about as much as "Is that your final answer?" or "Wazzup?"

But it's the folks here who are to blame. Not the campaign strategists who couldn't have come up with a worse political plan if you had hit them in the head with a cricket bat. Don't blame the candidates for failing to consider an issue for two seconds before screwing up the answer so badly that they look like a me too kid from school. http://www.masslive.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/05/gop_candidate_charlie_baker_hi.html

No, it's the people here on DU who somehow managed to turn our supporters against us. Yes, the handful of users here influenced public opinion way more than all that other stuff. Yes, I admit my own share of culpability, probably more than my fair share if it makes you feel better. Because back in March and April i saw the danger of the election that starts in just a few hours. I tried to warn people about it, and suggest historically proven strategies like running on issues for the candidates. Outrageous ideas when we were all assured that the Republicans had screwed themselves good with the Government shutdown, the Citizen United decision, and let's not forget the Universal Background check.

So let me ask you this. When did you start telling people that we had to take the Republican threat to the Senate seriously? I started in March, were you one of the voices who said that we had nothing to worry about? Were you one of the overconfident ones who gave our party a false sense of security instead of a health respect for our opponents? Nah, don't bother answering that. Just rage at me for being a Rat F-ing a-hole. That's way easier that looking for truth in the world.
