Apr 2015

personally offend you.

Not one thing you approve of. Not one.

And when I posted a complaint about this silliness I got 11 posters telling me how wrong I am and got alerted on.

This is not the sort of bullshit I expect on a Democratic board. I don't expect blind loyalty, but to imply that Obama is in the same league is, say, Shrub, is disgraceful. You're saying Obama is a sellout and a failure. This is not the place to do that. Not only is it not true, but if it must be said, it belongs somewhere else.

It's an insult to every one of us who goes out knocking on doors, making phone calls, giving money and otherwise working for Democratic candidates for all races up and down the board.

Your words offend me.

Precisely what are you doing for the future of the party, and the nation, besides posting anonymous bullshit on an internet board?

And alerter (I just know this will be alerted on) -- knock yourself out. The worst that happens to me this time is I don't get the pleasure of posting in this thread again, but you have to live with your miserable self.

No, that "36%" was 39.9% in 2010 and the I believe the 18% was only in California in 2014. BlueCaliDem Apr 2015 #38

ok, so 51% of 39.9% is 20.3% or so, and 51% of 57.7% is 29.4% Erich Bloodaxe BSN Apr 2015 #46

Those who don't vote, don't count. BlueCaliDem Apr 2015 #58
