Memo To Centrist Democrats: TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSING
If you don't filibuster Alito...If you don't put heat on Bush to pull out of Iraq...If you chase Paul Hackett out of the Ohio Senate race...If you eschew Liberal/Progressives ideas and candidates...THEN TAKE FUCKING RESPONSIBILITY WHEN YOU LOSE IN THE FALL. DO NOT BLAME LIBERALS/PROGRESSIVES FOR LOSING ELECTIONS BASED ON YOUR STRATEGY AND CANDIDATES!!!!!

2. Hackett is NOT the Progressive/Liberal Candidate, what the fuck
Edited on Tue Feb-14-06 10:17 AM by cryingshame
are you talking about?

Compared to Brown, Hackett is the centrist.

And the Democratic Party is backing Hackett for the House race.

Furthermore, Hackett WILL get labelled a DINO within months of taking office in the House, if he runs against Schmidtt and wins.

4. Maybe you better learn a little about the candidates before...
...you set off on a rant about them.

6. do you knw how wrong this post is,..... factually
"If you chase Paul Hackett out of the Ohio Senate race...If you eschew Liberal/Progressives ideas and candidates."

hackett is the centralist here, or as i say moderate

a couple extreme did not support filibuster of alito. they are not centralist, or moderates i like to say..... they are right. a lot of centralist/moderates voted for filibuster

i think election has been stolen from dems, so i think we are winning

i will take responsibility for whole fuckin world, doesnt bother me

i voted for kerry. really really like kerry. agree with about all kerry says and wants to do. so what am i. i dont know. y define me, for me. i am conservative, traditional, support all the basic democratic policy. and love kerry. who amm i. i also love dean. oh oh and really like waxman, conyers, waters. hillary kicks ass at times, but pisses me off to, and really not trusting her. i like clark, but i think clark is tied to clintons which bother me a tad. but the guy is intellictually brilliant and i really value smart people

who am i

i dont have a clue. but if you want me to take responsibility for the democratic party, i can do that for you. if it makes you feel better, and more agreeable so we can get to work and kick some ass. i am pretty damn sure, i am on your side. jsut a gyuess though
