David Plouffe is close with this administration. He said this in November after Obama's big win. He is warning the left. Seems to me when "the left" tries to stand for things Democrats traditionally have stood for, things like Social Security and public education, they are often "warned" they will harm the party.

We’re all familiar with the Obama administration’s “I won” approach to compromise, but White House senior advisor David Plouffe today earned the scorn of liberals when video of him naming Medicare and Medicaid as the chief drivers of the deficit made the rounds. MSNBC’s Ed Schultz was among those trying to reel Plouffe back from the edge of reality.

1. This kind of talk is something we need to nip in the bud.

I heard Debbie Wasserman Schultz recently talk about entitlements as a problem that needs to be fixed. We really need to get on these people who make these false arguments about - particularly -- Social Security's alleged relation to the deficit. Obviously, that is a falsehood.

4. How do you propose we do that? They pay absolutely no attention to anything but big bucks.

5. Which tough things has government required the 1% to accept? Fuck Plouffe.

Twice.

Arrogant, condescending, self-important little RW shit that he is.

2. They made a lot of progress all right. BTW, Latest Threads shows new Political Videos

But not new threads in LBN 2 or General Discussion 2.

That's where I saw this.

3. Does it matter if Latest Threads does not show the newest threads in GD?

My forums are arranged in order of newest posts. So, to see the threads with newest posts in GD, all I have to do is go to GD.
Ditto in every other forum.

If your threads do not display that way, see if you can still set that as a preference in Options.


Most of the posts are in GD anyway. To be candid, with so few new posts, I wish everyone would post in one forum. Spreading a handful of posts around on several forums doesn't make a lot of sense to me. But, that's just me.

6. I agree, and stopped posting in LBN and LGBT forums, but if someone else does I'll

reply to them, if I think to look at those forums. I only post in two forums, videos (because I want the image of the video that pops up on the right side of the page of latest threads to still give the feel we use this site, and because people watch videos a lot), and GD. And, as you said, with so few of us here, roughly a half dozen of us posting something at least every week or so (even though there's several who show up out of the blue to post, and several dozen who just read, Hi stalkers! hahaha) should make it obvious we should keep our stuff together for easy access.
