1. Atman, I'm feeling better already. I knew there was a solution.
Now, it's OK for me to go out and buy that Cadillac SUV with 3 MPG, stop recycling anything and, I'm proud to say, litter indiscriminately. It's such a burden lifted.

I can also condescend and think about the "little people" and how I, master of the universe (or Mandarin to masters of the universe) can participate in the gutting of the planet with pure denial and justification.

You made my day!

Scenes like this no longer bother me! Bring it on, quickly.

2. WE don't need any solutiuon, atman....
We're not the one spouting impotent rage and drawing up enemies lists to be purged, to show how "progressive" we are.....

3. You're right about one thing...
You're doing nothing to show how progressive you are. You're stuck in 1999, ready to get your ass handed to you again. Thanks for posting. Are you trying to get another thread locked so no one gets to see things you disagree with?

9. Let me ask you a question, Mr. Benchley
Once a Democrat is in office, that person should automatically get reelected each and every time. We should ALWAYS vote for the incumbant as long as there is a (D) behind their name - no matter who is running against them in the primaries. Is that what you're saying?

10. Funny, I don't see any goddamn question....
Just like I don't see any of our progressive purists telling me any reason to vote for any of their wowsers...in fact, we hardly ever see ANY Democrat put forth by the Junior Joe McCarthy Club, unless it's a DINO like the Green Party buffoon who's running against Hillary Clinton.

11. Who are YOU to be calling anyone a DINO?
You are always one of the first to lash out at anyone who complains about DINOs in Congress. Now you suddenly have the right to call someone running against an incumbent a DINO?

Again, I'll ask you the question, but I'll put it more succinctly for you this time.

Should we support any and all Democratic incumbents, regardless of their stances on various issues?

Should we never suppport anyone who is challenging a Democratic incumbent, even if the challenger is a Democrat themself?

15. And you have a problem with this for what reason, exactly?
Remember, most of the Green Party were Democrats at one time who were fed up with the two-party system. So you have a problem if some of them feel that going with a 3rd party was a mistake, and come home to roost?

16. Fuck the Green Party and its supporters.....
"most of the Green Party were Democrats at one time"
Good riddance then.

By the way, please produce the quote by this asswipe in which he says the Green Party was a mistake. I'll wait right here. (snicker)

17. This person is a fucking democrat now!
And who gives YOU the right to choose which Democrats you will or won't support, especially when you bash anyone else who dares go against the establishment Democrats?

"I'll wait right here."

In exactly the same place he's been since 1999.

21. I voted for Nader in 96 and in 2000. I voted for Kerry in 2004
Steve Greenfield is not the only primary candidate for the NY Senate, by the way.

While I support almost all of Steve's positions, I would never support him in this race.

Steve has stated the being Green often means being ignored by the press. I think that is as close as he has come to stating that greens are mistaken...

14. Brilliant! The whole thing is like a list of DLC talking points.
The difference being only that the DLC wants to keep a (D) after their names.

32. Hey, that's what major corporations call "insurance"
one way or another, they'll be getting someone they paid for into office-regardless of what the ideology of the people is in their district.

20. Or perhaps the DLC haters should just join the Green Party
Either way the Democratic party would be much weakened minority party.

22. It would be a much stronger DEMOCRATIC PARTY...
...if we'd all just act like democrats.

Oh, wait...we are. We're infighting, whining, capitulating and quivering. Never mind.

Sorry. Getting tired of this line of questions today. No offense. We need the hearings back on teevee so we can discuss something we all agree upon again. It's been a nasty day on DU so far!
