234. Ummmm
nice little bit of revisionist history. The "blue dogs" didn't lose because they were too conservative...THEY LOST BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T CONSERVATIVE ENOUGH.

It was the wingnut tea-baggers that came out in force in November 2010. Folks like West were too busy pissing on the President, because he didn't govern like a "fricking" dictator, to go to the polls.

Now, every "blanking" thing we are dealing with...

- Busting of Unions
- Wingnut Redistricting
- Restrictions on Voting Rights
- State budget attacks against the poor and the middle class
- Privatization of Public Schools
- Demonization of teachers and public servants

all of this and more can be laid directly at the feet of folks like Cornel West. DU ought to repudiate Mr. West, not provide a forum to highlight his anti-Obama rants.
