If you really want to punish Gibbs, here's what you do...

[derby378]

Last I heard, we're still supposed to have Democratic primary elections this year in Alaska, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming as well as the District of Columbia.

If you're sore at Gibbs, let his boss know. Vote for the liberal/progressive Democratic candidate who is NOT endorsed by Obama.

Just look at what happened in Pennsylvania with Arlen Specter.

That is all...

[Vincardog]

1. Do you like what happened in Arkansas? Obama's candidate won the primary and will loose the electio

[derby378]

2. Aren't you making my point for me?

Lincoln was Obama's candidate, after all.

[valerief]

3. Lincoln's not even a Dem. She's a Blue Dog. That's like a mutant Dem. A Mutocrat. nt

[Vincardog]

23. Did that keep the WH from supporting her as opposed to the liberal candidate who looked to win the

General election?

[valerief]

26. Goldman Sachs support a liberal? Would never happen. nt

[Vincardog]

Vote for the liberal/progressive candidate period

[LostinVA]

9. You just made the OP's point

[Sebastian Doyle]

12. If you're in Arkansas, listen to Mike Malloy's show tonight.

I will not elaborate any further to avoid the DLC swarm. Just tune in.....

[JVS]

24. This is odd. The appeal of the centrists is supposed to be electability.

[Political Tiger]

4. Vengeance!!!!

"He who seeks vengeance must dig two graves: one for his enemy and one for himself" -Chinese proverb

[derby378]

6. Nah - just reminding Gibbs where the REAL power is

That way, Gibbs doesn't shoot his mouth off about how he's so much better than the Dems who put his boss in the Oval Office.

[myrna minx]

8. No, it's called working within the democratic process to effect change.

It's how our system works. :shrugs:

[LostinVA]

13. I know, weird that voting for a Dem is now vengeance?

:shrug:

[myrna minx]

14. The other day, someone here called my elected Dem Representative, Keith Ellison,

one of the 'Professional Left'. :shrug: Who knew being a liberal Dem was so subversive!

[rucky]

18. If this is the end result, then I'm sending Gibbs a fruit basket.

I must admit I am more motivated now to get some new *progressive* blood in Congress.

[LostinVA]

11. It's not vengeance, it's working for change, voting in more progressive folks

Like everyone of you tells the rest of DU to do.

[Forkboy]

16. It's what people keep telling us to do.

Now someone says they'll just what they've been told to do, and sure enough, one of you fucking bitch about it.

[Political Tiger]

17. Someone told you to "punish Gibbs?"

If I told you to jump off a bridge would you do it? And who is this "one of you" you are having a tantrum over?

[Forkboy]

25. No, we've been told to work to get our candidates in office.

If I told you to jump off a bridge would you do it?

Only if you're coming with me.

[ljm2002]

22. Or alternatively...

..."Revenge is a dish best served cold."

Seems to me that saying is very well suited to the OP's point.

[LWolf]

5. What primary elections do we have coming up in Oregon?

I voted in a primary in May. The candidate I voted to nominate for the Governor's race, Bill Bradbury, was defeated by John Kitzhaber.

fwiw, I always vote for the most liberal-left candidate on my ballot.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

7. No. Vote for the best candidate in each race.

[derby378]

10. Would the best candidate go with Obama's plan or demand something better?

Never settle for scraps from the table. Always demand better.

[BrklynLiberal]

15. It really cannot hurt to elect representatives that more closely reflect OUR attitudes.

[Stinky The Clown]

19. That is more or less what I have been suggesting for a while.

[Whisp]

20. is it really worth all this effort to 'punish' Gibbs?

good grief you are way off the track.

If you so loveth those yapping and hollering pundits to defend them so...


:shrug:

[mcollins]

21. Same with Colorado.

WH endorsed one guy, Bill Clinton another. WH 'won' that round.


FUCK BUCK

[Erose999]

27. I already voted for the underdogs in the GA primaries. A lot of (D) candidates are running unapposed

in our primaries though. I suppose a solution to that would be not to vote for a candidate who runs unopposed. Since is is only a primary they will still get the nomination, but you send a message to the party leadership.
