Nobody tell Brian Schweitzer that Obama's approval rating among liberal democrats is at 84% [View all] Cali_Democrat Jan 2014 OP

Don't tell liberals Schweitzer is probably more conservative on a whole shit-load of issues than O Drunken Irishman Jan 2014 #1

FDR imprisoned American citizens in direct violation of the Constitution. Ikonoklast Jan 2014 #104

And it was a travesty then as it is now. What was your point? R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2014 #105

The point is there are no perfect politicians. Ikonoklast Jan 2014 #106

This is not about perfection. God, what an awful answer you concocted! R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2014 #107

You don't like my answer, even though it is factual, so you attack me personally. Ikonoklast Jan 2014 #108

We're not talking "oops honey I shrunk the kids." R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2014 #109

I see. You have no answers, you have non-sequiturs. Ikonoklast Jan 2014 #110

If he runs on an anti-corporatist, anti-neo liberal platform, and makes a clear statement in Zorra Jan 2014 #23

"If he runs on an anti-corporatist, anti-neo liberal platform" polichick Jan 2014 #26

Compared to what? BlueStreak Jan 2014 #27

Yes but Obama isn't running next VanillaRhapsody Jan 2014 #28

We shall see. The Mayor of New York won an overwhelming victory BlueStreak Jan 2014 #46

But HE didn't run "against" President Obama... VanillaRhapsody Jan 2014 #54

Who is running "against Obama"? That's a straw man argument. You know you can't BlueStreak Jan 2014 #60

I didn't choose the discussion.... VanillaRhapsody Jan 2014 #61

Me sloppy argument...that's rich...you just proved you are not reading the OP...just trolling me... VanillaRhapsody Jan 2014 #62

And I repeat. The premise that Schweitzer is "running against Obama" is a straw man. BlueStreak Jan 2014 #81

Nope...posting now a days...your concern is duly noted. VanillaRhapsody Jan 2014 #69

What is it that you want, VR? DisgustipatedinCA Jan 2014 #73

The mayor of NY won because the Clintons--HRC, mostly-- raised over a million bucks for him. MADem Jan 2014 #79

So did Lieberman. How did that pay off? adirondacker Jan 2014 #88

The Mayor is in office. Lieberman is not. And it's 2014. MADem Jan 2014 #95

Just attempting to demonstrate the the repercussions of bad decision making. Some of us are still adirondacker Jan 2014 #98

Well, the Dems didn't endorse Lieberman once he went to that "Indy Dem" label. MADem Jan 2014 #99
