I'm bored with all of the Armchair Campaign Advisors and the Scared Nellies! Just DO it!

[FrenchieCat]

If you are so confident in your view as to what should be done, then be proactive enough to please drop off a note to the campaign
at: [e-mail]

and then perhaps do an HQ Activist "to do" project to help Barack Obama be elected
here. You can suggest what we can all do to fight John McCain and his 24/7 media pals: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topics&forum=106

We know that you have great ideas and want the best for this country....however, telling the rest of us on a public forum, that you fucking damn well know is spied on by the media to come up with quite a bit of the bullshit they serve, means that you are helping John McCain.

Yes this is a free country, and you are free to whine and cry about what you don't like that you see. But please know that unless you are making your complaints heard in a smart way by those who need to hear what you are proposing, you are, yourself not making a damn bit of difference in any way that will help those who need the help the most. And know that this ain't no child's play, so this is not funny, or a game, or anything close to that. In fact my children are not amused with the methods in which you have chosen to "help" the Obama campaign....because you see, you are of no use in this way at all....in fact, you are part of the problem.

Thank you.

1. This armchair nelly shit is Really How Kerry Lost

The way to win is to shut up and DO IT.

[angee_is_mad]

7. Amen Sista

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. It's almost like some people want Obama to lose.

Keep telling yourself, "Yes We Can, YEs WE CAn, YES WE CAN" and we will!!! We can do this people!!!!

[AndyTiedye]

20. It Must Be Nice To Be Able to Just BELIEEEEVE Something Just Because You Want To

Keep telling yourself, "Yes We Can, YEs WE CAn, YES WE CAN"

If that works for you, great. It must be enormously comforting.

[cliffordu]

21. ...And so, what would YOU suggest??

[AndyTiedye]

26. By All Means, Go with Hope and Confidence If You've Got It

All I have to work with is FEAR.

But McInsane offers plenty to fear! (He sure scares me!)

[LittleClarkie]

40. The point is, I believe, to take whatever it is and DO something.

Just don't sit there, is all. If you're already doing something in the campaign, good on ya. If you're not, why not?

[JoFerret]

33. Maybe the "nellies"

have more sophisticated ways of working for a democratic victory that slagging people off and trashing good dems.

What do you think?
Maybe they actually send money and vote.

[AndyTiedye]

42. That's What I Do

I'm not going to drive 12 hours each way to spend every weekend knocking on doors and try to persuade swing voters.
I don't have the persuasive skills to do that.

I applaud those who can.

[Stinky The Clown]

2. So .... the media reads DU but the Obama campaign doesn't?

Really?

[FrenchieCat]

3. It's like writing a secret note on a Blackboard at school to your crush.......

If you want someone to know something address it to them.

This public call out shit is really quite dangerous to this election.....at this point.

[FrenchieCat]

4. where are all the backstabbing armchair public advisors......

Can they answer my post? Am I asking too much of them?

[seaglass]

5. No, you just keep repeating the same point over and over

and it's getting boring.

[FrenchieCat]

6. Yes I am. You are correct.

The difference is that I already sent my message to the Obama campaign....and wrote my letters supporting Barack Obama today, and yesterday, and the day before.

I don't backstab Barack Obama, our nominee, at this public forum. I have his back.

[leftynyc]

30. This is a discussion board

Not a cheerleading squad. What makes you think that those who are bitching haven't also written to the Obama campaign? Is there a reason you can't do both?

[Cha]

13. You're boring.. Frenchie is helping out and trying to do

something about the negativity.

[seaglass]

27. from someone who adds nothing to any threads except "me too"

or a Clinton insult, no original thought. Your opinion means zero to me, but thanks for joining in "me too."

[Cha]

34. You're full of fucking insults and I'm flattered

you're nothing but a big zero who worships at the altar of the lying clintons.

[seaglass]

41. Proving my point. n/t

[27inCali]

15. the boring part is all this bitching

and self-fullfilling prophecy of doom.

[seaglass]

28. DU has always been about either the sky is falling or we're

finally getting what we always wanted - not so much boring as the way it is.

[barack the house]

19. If Frenchie has to repeat a million times so be it we win this with action. It's our job, even more>

than Obama's. You only have to read the terms of the site it's an activists site not defeatists site.

[seaglass]

29. Posting on DU is not being an activist. It's a discussion board

where people express their opinion. Do you get the difference?

[JoFerret]

46. So what's with the

"nellies" then?

[geek tragedy]

8. the intern at the campaign who reads that email

probably isn't going to be setting policy any time soon.

[FrenchieCat]

10. Why do you pretend to know ?

Why be a poser? :shrug:

[cliffordu]

22. You're right. We should all just curl into a fetal position

and quit now. It's hopeless.

[Wetzelbill]

31. all I can say is

I have that person on Ignore, and if I have somebody on Ignore, they most be nearly batshit. I don't even have a bad side, so to get on it is one helluva feat. I say never ever reply to them or take whatever they say serious.

[cliffordu]

36. You might be on to something here...

Short of a "nuke" button...

:hi:

[Wetzelbill]

38. I mean seriously

I have like three people on Ignore and one of them is still Al Capone. :)

Yeah a nuke button, that sounds like a good idea, until I think about how I probably would have been nuked a million times by now, lol.

[cliffordu]

39. Yep -I'd have been nuked at least once yesterday....

It's too bad there isn't a way to find out how many people have me on 'ignore...'

I'll bet it's a bunch. I've been swearing too much. Dammit.

[Better Believe It]

9. I have sent notes to the Obama campaign.

Never got a response. They pay more attention to the DLC. They know how to lose!

[FrenchieCat]

12. Should a suggestion warrant a reply?

Feedback is just that. You give it, and they get it.

This ain't about you so much, now is it?

[Better Believe It]

14. At Least An Acknowledgement That It Was Received

If suggestions aren't read why in the world request them?

[27inCali]

16. I'm sure the most effective path to victory

is to spend lots of precious time and energy answering letters from millions of supports who I am sure are advising a miriad of different and contradictory things.

[Cha]

11. Rec'd! to The Greatest Page..

This needs to be read by everyone here..what a great idea and useful information.

[AllentownJake]

17. Thank You Frenchie

I read this today at work and today has been the worst concern day since the Primaries closed. I'm getting a little sick of the defeatist attitude on here everytime there is the slightest bit of bad news. I think some people on here expected overturning the past 8 years would be easy.

[barack the house]

18. High five toFrenchie cat.

[RNdaSilva]

23. Spot on...

[Eurobabe]

24. Did already, got an email BACK from them re: VP choice

Pretty cool. :D

[ClayZ]

25. Bravo! Thank You!

K and R

[Virginia Dare]

32. If you want Obama to win, WORK FOR HIM!....n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

35. there's so many 'doubting Thomas' on this board

[azmouse]

37. kick

[Cha]

43. Kick 'cause it's such an Awesome suggestion and not "boring"

at all like The Orwellian bullshit tries to convince. :bounce: :party: :kick: :patriot:

[redqueen]

44. Great point! I just PM'ed someone about sending fellow DUers a notice about typos via PM

if they want to avoid embarrassing the person they're correcting.

Not exactly rocket surgery, is it?

:thumbsup:

[JoFerret]

45. Maybe the nellies have reason to be scared

A McCain victory is a disaster for "nellies" scared and otherwise.

Maybe they have a real interest in Obama's success.

Could be why there is "nelly" anxiety.
