I am done with this place
Every god damn expert on Massachusetts politics is pontificating, bitching, threatening, whining, and making stupid ass statements all over GD & GDP. I've had it. There is no hope left here. I'm done. Over and out.

4. Mass people can't figure out Mass politics, never mind someone from across
the country. What riles me up is the very people who've been dividing us here expect different results when it comes to this election. Talk about being part of the problem.

I am so done with this baby shit. Either they should take a course in Government or Critical Thinking or shut the fuck up.

57. Graywarrior, when Coakley wins on Tuesday I encourage you to create a post in GD
that just says one word: "Martha!"

You can add as many party and dancy smileys as you like. If the number of recs you get can rival the recs given to some of the idiotic, pointless drivel that's been blanketing this site for the last **14 MONTHS** (:crazy: :wow: :crazy:), then perhaps my DU bookmark won't deserve to be dragged into the recycle bin icon on my desktop.

6. I don't want you to go yet, but that is because I am afraid of being
the last one to go.

Two hours ago I was right there with you and that is because I ventured out into GD and onto the Dean thread. This place is full of vile decomposing posters that once was perhaps complete human beings. After I came back here, I began feeling safe again and like I was among my own. I take on a false sense of being again part of a group of Democrats, and that I am not hidden here in the underbelly of what once was the Democratic Underground.

I sent a message to the Moderators then about what would happen if this was allowed to continue, so if you leave you will be helping me make my point but I would rather you not go. But then again, I don't know how much longer I will be here. I guess what I would rather have us do is stick it out here for awhile and then come to a decision together where we shut this place down and leave together. We would be the ones as a group to shut off the lights and lock the door of the Barack Obama Group behind us. :cry:

8. Hang in there, gray. And hang out HERE or in the Lounge.
I know just what you are feeling, and reading crappy post after crappy post is frustrating and pisses me off. But when I take a dip into the BOG, I feel so much better. Same with the Lounge.

I'd miss you and your duck something fierce if you left.

all the way to the floor!

You know it really is a shame because some of these people have been such terrific advocates over the years.

But then look at this FDL blog on John Kerry, and then read the comments, you'd swear it was freeperville. No wonder these people are getting all riled up.

And again, the responses. It actually becomes very clear that these are Greens and Naderites and not really Democrats to begin with. That's fine, I just wish they had some other approach to political disagreements besides scorched earth.

22. The internet makes everyone an expert on everything.
I had a very tough time during the bid for the Olympics. Watching some people cheer as loud as any RWer when Chicago was eliminated from the process was really heartbreaking--especially since most of them were not from Chicago or even from IL.

40. Their hero
Howard Dean spoke and that got em all riled up again. Add that to the MA election and the anti-Obama's can't contain themselves. If Coakley loses they will jump with joy. What has become painfully obvious to me is Democrats don't stick together. I can see why Republicans say Democrats are weak. Take a look at what's being discussed and all the negatives comments.

42. The Democrats rarely speak with one voice, because that is the inclusive nature of the party
I find it ironic, but it was Howard Dean who encouraged that inclusiveness, i.e. 50 state strategy. I remember him going to the most red parts of Southern states trying to attract them, even though he didn't agree eye to eye with their points of view

bringing in the Blue Dogs is all Rahm's fault. It's was Dean's strategy but Rahm's fault. Well at least that's the word from those who choose to ignore the facts. We voted for Blue Dogs in 50 states because Rahm told us to.

Don't give up, it just takes a little bit of patience - but inevitably their arguments can't stand logical rebuttals - don't give up.
