8. No, it's just increasingly apparent that she really doesn't give a shit about the Democratic Party.
If she doesn't get the nomination she was promised 8 months ago, she's determined to make life miserable for everyone who "betrayed" her.

6. This morning on RW talk radio, I found out that "Obama hates America".
That is a direct quote.

38. Forget it.. John Lennon threads sink like stones. I posted a couple
and they got zip, zero, ziltch, nada.. Then I saw a post claiming that anyone who has a John Lennon avatar is usually a moron. That's when I gave up. You know he would be loving this right now. Change, hope, revolution, all John's babies... or... punishments :rofl:

13. Mmmm Hmmm. There's a difference between being outraged about something real- like the IWR vote
and being outraged about a speech Obama's Pastor's cousin's dry cleaner's college roommate's cat babysitter gave while not wearing a flag pin.

22. Don't know - and don't care too much
He ran to be our Democratic Nominee - If he didn't feel he fit in the Democratic Party (running to be our highest elected leader)- why did he run?

27. Not being a Gravel supporter, I can't say. Although the difference between small-l and big is
instructive.

People tend to confuse libertarianism (small l) the political philosophy with the big-L Libertarian PARTY. They are NOT the same thing.

An overwhelming majority of DU, for instance, as indicated by several polls on the matter, identifies as left-libertarian. That does not mean, however, that we (I am certainly one of 'em) support the Libertarian Party.

I'm left-libertarian, and I'm a Democrat. I think our party should move in the direction of protecting rights and freedoms for individuals, particularly pertaining to consenting adult behaviors that don't harm or endanger anyone else, individual control over their own bodies, restoring the bill of rights, etc.

...capice?

30. I won't judge your political philosophy no matter what
(well, if you start calling me a dittohead or something crazy like that ... maybe)

BUT - for a person to ask Democrats to elect them to the highest office AS A DEMOCRAT - then I think they ought to be one.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/off-the-bus-reporter/mike-gravel-to-seek-liber_b_93463.html

Now he says he's a Liberatarian and is seeking THEIR party's nomination.

What? If that doesn't work, where will he go? (Lee Mercer has his own following, I don't see any of them jumping ship for Gravel)

I'm not REALLY outraged about it - just slightly miffed.

My post was made to go along with the 'outraged' theme of the thread.

:hi:

32. I'm sorry! I completely wasn't aware of that. My bad. You are, of course, 100% correct.
Sounds like Gravel isn't a Democrat any more.

24. Can you imagine their faces when Andrea
non-journalist-Mitchell pulled that sentence out of her ass? I bet they were scrambling to post on DU about how "outraged" they were and yadayadayadayada. I wouldn't know because I got a good bulk of them on ignore but I'm sure they were excited. Too bad this isn't going to help pull Hillary out of her slump. If only they can turn that fake outrage into some cash to help Hillary pay her debts, deadbeat.

35. I'm outraged as a hot sauce eater.
Although as much as I love John Edwards, stick a moustache on him and he's a ringer for the Tapatio dude.
