Obama less popular on DU than war-making

79. You must be kidding me. Forums? That's like farting in a hurricane. The noise isn't even heard.

Political discussions such as we are having right now used to be held in taverns across the world, and the is probably comparable to what we are doing electronically.

The problem is, it don't mean squat. Bunch of loud-mouthed half drunks mumbling about Revolution, but wanting someone else to be the first out the door.

What you and I post here, or on any other site, or anyone on the Right, is just so much blather, it changes no opinions, it fixes nothing, it is just what is is, words posted on a message board.

People that take this seriously, or even worse, personally, have a vanishingly small perspective of where all this fits in in the overall scheme of things.

To political junkies it may mean something, but c'mon, face it, we are actually a tiny minority in this country.

Most people don't even give a damn enough to give a damn about politics.

As far as Dennis goes, IMO he is actually a Green, he just won't come out and say so, as he knows that he'd never hold elected office in this state again.

The Democrats would run a candidate against him, and as Dennis is less than personally wealthy, funding a campaign would be problematic as a Green, so he stays under the Democratic umbrella.

I look to him to change as soon as he retires, he will no longer call himself a Democrat.

As far as the Northern European evolved democracies go, we'll see how well they fare after their economies and social programs are no longer subsidized by North Sea oil, as it is currently dwindling down.
