Dr. Jeffrey Feldman is a smart, insightful and good man. But what the fuck is this?
I am sorry, but if Dr. Jeff thinks that is the biggest problem with Daily Kos and the Left blogs at the present time, I think he is actually illustrating what the biggest problem is – the inability to think for a fucking second about the issues RIGHT NOW!
Iraq. FISA capitulation. A Democratic Congress that sucks utterly. Is it fucking impossible to focus on issues now?
The Netroots are so fucking bad now. Completely useless. I am disgusted.
I am going back into my cave now. I do not have the stomach right now to say what needs to be said about all this bullshit.

I suggest anyone read Talk Left for all the ammunition you could possibly need.
Between Jeralyn and I, I do not think there has been a site that has covered Rudy as critically as we have.
But we also have tried to demand action from the Democvratic Congress too. It is not that fucking hard.
Bullshit from Dr. Feldman.
a pretty massive fight about ENDA “right now.” SCHIP is very much on the radar too.
Still, I hear you about FISA and Iraq. Rudy we can worry about later.
translation:
“In order to be a blogger I must think of something to fill this blank space and off the top of my head I guess it’s got to be Rudy.”
Don’t let semantics get you down man.
…. at dKos (in a different diary) saying basically the same thing:
Of course that was about impeachment (your fave issue), but I feel the same on all the other issues as well.
Just glanced thru Feldman’s diary. I simply cannot get enthusiastic about the ’08 race when so much has to be done now and is not being done.
I’m going to try once again the reasons why I will forever condemn this global warming concept. My objections lie in the totalitarianism of it all. We are just replacing the war on terra meme with a war on the enviornment meme. A war is still a war.
The same people who rally on about the neo-cons and their war on terra also tell me with the very same dedication of Faux News viewers that my conversion from $600 every ten days for oil to a pellet stove is just not good enough? WTF? I was told wood pellets rely on machinery?
For most this is the only green solution.

I still have to endorse who you are and what you do for us all.
Big Al Gore with his massive compassion for humanity could have rallied himself with thousands of other completely worthwile causes. Depleted uranium is one of them. Perhaps a real investigation solving the questions more and more people have about 911. How about why media has supressed information about a simple drug that kills multiple versions of cancer.
Simply not, the establishment must remain the establishment and carbon trading as the new Wall Street will be justification for the massive repossetion of the western world’s modern lifesyle.
Meanwhile carbon exempt China and the gold rush of factory building continues to churn out contaminated dog food, lead laced childrens toys and now lipstick.
Should we all give up and turn it into an emmigration forum?
just the chap to start a congressional stampede…
is that there are no leftists there.
Daily Kos is center-left at best, and no where near the rhetoric and passion of real leftist, they drove those unicorns into the sea.
Same with Huffington Post to Talk Left, they are all moderate liberals, not a real leftist among them.
Though I am sure they whisper themselves to sleep at night how they fight the man, when they are actually just shadow boxing.
…so near as I can tell, is that I read them.
But what do I know, I just got in a shouting fight with a dk frontpager, lost my temper, and said if my ‘tude bothered him so much, he should have me banned. Then I went and did a TC where I personally rec’d one of his comments :} Let them be confused (it was a good comment!)
Personally, I figure one of the great benefits of dkos is it brings together working policy types such as yourself, raving lefties like me, and middle of the road democratic types who really just want a nice life, to see if there is anything to talk about. I’m realizing, however, that I don’t have anything to bring to that discussion (or this one)…but it still seems worth doing.
…in party politics deserve what they get, in my opinion. The trouble is they keep dragging the rest of us down with them.
Nominate a Dem who’s willing to defend the Whole Bill of Rights.
The megachurch crowd may vote the way their pastor tells them, but the firearms folks will not go for Rudy if they’ve got an alternative.

It doesn’t seem that hard to figure out.
We know what we’re running against. The problem is, it usually takes more than being against something to win an election.
That’s where we fall down, because Democrats, as a party, really haven’t established much of a record to run on. There’s not much that’s been passed this year that we can point to and say, “here’s what we’re about.”
Jockying for ’08 began in ’06, and in the process, the opportunities of ’07 are slipping away. As of yet, we have no legislative record to be our common ground, regardless of who becomes our nominee.
