36. Really?

Wasn't I warning that the Senate was in danger back in March? Wasn't I warning about how things were perceived by the population a year ago? http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024057502

All I do on this board is give people my opinion, and why. So it's what I think, and why I think it. It turns out I was absolutely right to be concerned, and now I see the party doing something amazingly stupid. So I say something about it, and you act like this is faked.

Pfui. Nonsense, crap. If I was a RW plant, would I tell you that this course leads to disaster? Would I warn that the Senate is in danger? Or would I tell everyone that things are going great, ignore the polls, they're crap. Just keep going man. I'd want the Democratic Party to screw up and shoot themselves in the foot. Instead, I come here and post again, the dangerous and self defeating plan of action we seem to be taking. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025786007

So I was right in March, I was right in November, and I've been right all year. Not on the political spectrum, but on what dangers faced us. If I'm a RW plant, I'm the most inept one in the world, telling you and the Democrats how to win. Or I guess that there is another alternative. The Democratic Party could be the most inept political group in history. Even when they're given good solid advice based upon polling information and public opinions, they insist on doing the stupid thing.

So tell you what. Go on with this plan. Because I'll be here after the next election too. I just don't want to be reading how the fucking Republicans won another one. But if you insist that is the way we should go, then one of us doesn't have the best interests of the Democratic Party at heart. Perhaps it's the one who joined in the verbal beatings of the person sounding the alarm that the senate was in danger. If there were RW plants, wouldn't they want to shut him up or at least diminish the warning until it isn't taken seriously?
