Reply #49: Repeat Republican shit [View All]

You're buying into it. Repeat the correct frame, you're helping make the necessary change to the perception of the party.

I am really tired, disgusted and discouraged today. I worked hard to get the correct frame on ANWR out there. I heard Democrats in the Senate speak to alternative energy, the resulting jobs, security, etc. To hear you act as if none of that happened is just exasperating. I don't know how we're ever going to win back a Dem seat in rural areas when we've got Dems who don't help spread the truth about what our Dem leaders are actually saying.

You'll never change the fringe left. Ever seen people hold a candlelight vigil over 10 oak trees being cut own to build a parking garage? You don't need to tell me about the kind of lunacy that hurts the Dem party.

I feel like a yo-yo. Trying to pull the pure environmentalist in to thinking about rational economic frames; then turning around and having to get people like you to stop perpetuating the myth that all Dems are that left fringe; it drives me wild. For some reason it always surprises me when this stuff comes from you.
