2. Before I rec or wreck your thread

I have to know which tent you mean. Are you a scummy traitor or snow-pure believer? Your answer should be expressed in terms of my opinions on what those groups are, of course.

11. Oh, he knows

We're friends IRL. He also expressed my issue much more clearly than I did.

On edit: It definitely depends on who your asking. By some people's standards here, I might as well be a Republican because I haven't washed my hands of Obama (although I'm getting unhappier with him by the day). But, among the people with whom I interact daily, I'm a raging socialist. Nevertheless, I still used to fit somewhere under the tent.

5. Me too, because I think I've been eased out.
I like a democratic party that does democratic things. That's been eased out, too.

9. we need to make sure we have one up
. . . in time for the 2012 presidential election.

Our party is a coalition of concerns. There isn't one interest or faction of our party which can generate enough support on its own to get us to a majority; or can garner enough electoral votes to hold the presidency.

12. To Get The Big Tent, You Need To Get Rid Of The Little Tents...
by raising us ALL up!



They were called Hoovervilles. In my town these days, they call it Tent City.
