(37,573 posts)in fact, after 2006, DU sorta became a Pelosi-bashing site.
And I thought it was kinda stupid, that a large contingent of DU wanted Bush to be impeached - even in September of 2008. The #1 question of the blogosphere for candidate Obama was "Do you think Bush should be impeached?"
But it is not all about the shiny object. My main points are that
1. there are some people who like to bash Democrats - because they want to elect Republicans and libertarians.
2. they want to discourage people from voting by showing that "all politicians are just a bunch of crooks" (and thus it does not matter if Bush is President or if Gore is President or if Pelosi is Speaker of the House or if Boehner is speaker.)
3. If we want to win in 2014 perhaps it would be more useful to promote OUR side and bash the OTHER side instead of being so quick to do the opposite.
4. the Republicans already have a RWNM to bash OUR side. Unfortunately often the leftwing blogosphere just sings in harmony with the RWNM.
5. As I have said before, perhaps we could promote our ideals more instead of just bashing the politicians for not following our ideals.
