Why are Republicans screaming that Obama hasn't fulfilled any campaign promises? Did he promise

[secondwind]

THEM anything? They keep shrieking about transparency, lack of jobs, etc.

1. They'll bitch under any circumstances. Not unlike the good people at DU.

2. Ah... they are trying to get in the middle of the Liberal/ Progressive /Democrats..

They like us, check in here and other places liberals blog (as we check out the howlers on the right).. and see what people are chatting about and letting off steam about..

Just trying to sow the seeds of dissension, hoping it will bring victory in 2010..

10. And this is what they say when they read our infighting....

..... here's a blog post by a teabagger friend of mine, her reaction to some negative stuff posted by Hillbuzz. Interesting to see how they other side takes what WE say in anger and frustration and runs with it...

And in reading the comments section I saw many similar comments saying basically there are people willing to call themselves “former Democrats” if only the Republican party will get their act together.

It is maddening. It is one of those things that I cannot wrap my brain around, how clearly we can see that the Republican party will be strengthened, not weakened, if we run to our strengths and call out LOUDLY and BLUNTLY the progressives/liberals. sorry for all the caps today. but I am yelling.

5. Interesting stuff there. Took me minute to fugure out

you have to look under Obameter (?) to see promises kept, broken, compromised, in the works. Thanks for sharing!

4. Dogwhistle to those who pretend to be on our side...

Letting them know they need to increase their endogenous efforts, even as the republicans attack from the outside.

7. do you mean indigenous?

or is "endogenous" something I'm gonna have to look up? ;-)

[BlooInBloo]

9. Depends on whether you know...

what "exogenous" means. :P

6. They want to undermine him from the Left, so they

help fan the flames of progressive outrage, strange bedfellows be damned.

Did you notice that a lot of people on this board are "shrieking" about the very things you mentioned? And I'm not talking about <500 post newbies.

8. He did make a lot of promises on transparency.

Jobs are kind of assumed to be a promise. I remember how squeaky clean he was on lobby money though and that is the greatest letdown for me. I guess it's not enough to make sure your President isn't bought because congress makes the laws.
