The Black Commentator - Cover Story: Obama Mouths Mush on War

i`m really disappointed he`s mouthing the appeaser's in the democratic party. to bad he`s doesn`t have the balls as murtha does....

[mopinko]

1. if, repeat if

he has joined the dump cegalis brigade, i have some big doubts, also. but seriously, i always thought he was a centrist, and a political animal. at any other time, that would be an acceptable position. in these times, we need people with cojones.

[Bjornsdotter]

2. I had my first doubt

....when he voted for Rice. I'm keeping a close eye...

Cheers!

6. I wrote a note to him when he voted for Rice. Extreme

disappointment

[billyf65]

3. Oh Lord...

Murtha? Nice comparison, whoever made it.

Murtha's been a hawkish dem, trusted by the pentagon for decades.

Obama's been in the Senate for 11 months.

DU - the place where pragmatism goes to die.

See it all the time, haven't figured it out.

[tofubo]

4. if no one phillybusters scalito, we'll know he and all the others are

bought and sold fucks

if he joins the phillybuster, we can at least think he's ok

[Chicago Democrat]

8. He's a shithead....

so disappointed...

[dogfacedboy]

20. Just out of curiosity, what are you disappointed about?

What has Senator Obama done, or not done, that has you angry?

[dogman]

21. Check the profile.

I don't think you'll get an answer here. Anger is as anger does.

[jeffrey_X]

23. Huh?

Why aren't you answering the question?

[davsand]

24. That poster is no longer "with us."

There is a tombstone showing for the profile meaning they have been removed from DU.

You are not gonna GET any answers from that poster!

:hi:

10. obama peace scorecard

Yes, he has a low rating on The PeaceMajority Report scorecard. Very disappointing.

[davsand]

14. Yeah--bash Obama--that will REALLY prove you are a progressive.

I might take it a bit more seriously if you were actually running as a DEMOCRAT.

15. I don't understand. Isn't B Scheuer

running as a democrat?

[kevsand]

16. Nope

He's running as an independent. Melissa Bean is unopposed in the Democratic primary. Bill intends to make it a three way race in November, a move that will only help the Republicans.

[rosesaylavee]

17. Ahh, that's why I checked out his website

and it looked democrat but didn't mention it. Why doesn't he just be up front about it?

[alusmotdnabed]

18. Because Bill Schuerer is an Opportunist

Who would rather let Republicans control Congress than re-elect the woman who beat the tar out of him in the 2002 primary. Case in point?

Bill Scheurer, DEMOCRATIC candidate questionnaire (IVI-IPO), January 12, 2004:
Do you support: a. the Human Life Amendment? No.
b. parental or spousal notification or consent to obtain an abortion? No.
c. restoration of Medicaid coverage of abortion? Yes.
d. a ban on so-called partial birth abortions? No.
e. insurance coverage for abortions for federal and military employees and their dependents? Yes.

Bill Scheurer, "Independent" candidate for Congress, Lakeland Media, October 13, 2005:
"Scheurer, who considers himself a life-oriented person, opposes abortion ... he would allow for 'extenuating circumstances' such as rape, incest and the life and health of the woman."

Bill Scheurer, DU blogger, December 7, 2005:
"I'll be posting my views on the website fairly soon. I refuse to accept the labels of 'life' and 'choice' in this important discussion."

Well, I refuse to accept Bill's self-serving crap. If he hates "Bush Democrats" so much, then he should run as a "Pure Democrat" instead of helping a Repug win -- except he knows he'll lose a primary and has trouble being "pure" on one of the biggest parts of the party's platform.

Sell stupid somewhere else, Bill. And if you're going to pick an issue to be inconsistant and pander to right wingnuts, try one people can't find out by doing a google search and looking at your webstie;.

[rosesaylavee]

19. Amazing.

Thanks for clarifying.

22. Hi alusmotdnabed!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Walt Starr]

25. Why are you posting on a Democratic web site when you are opposing

a Democratic incumbent?

Did you know you are in direct violation of the DU rules you agreed to abide by when you signed up on DU?

Towhit:
Democratic Underground is an online community for Democrats and other progressives. Members are expected to be generally supportive of progressive ideals, and to support Democratic candidates for political office.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/forums/rules.html

Since you are an Independent candidate seeking to unseat a Democratic Incumbent, you are in direct and flagrant violation of the rules here simply by posting here.
