Fully agree. The left has a lot to learn from the right, who have now the extreme right (Teapers). These folks are so united that they managed to get a good-for-nothing person like W not only get elected but get elected twice in spite of going against their own mantra: fiscal responsibility and strong against terror (Bush didn't take bringing Osama to justice seriously. It took Obama 30 months to track and kill him and Bush had almost 88 months to do so) Their complaints are nothing short of amazing to me. They have learned nothing from how the right operates in this country and the success it has wrought. Nearly 32 years........and what do the Dems have to show for it.....two presidencies. For decades this country believed in trickle down; that Rs are more effective fiscally; that Rs are more patriotic; that Rs are better at governance, etc. It took 8 years of a GW for Americans to start thinking otherwise and to give Dems a shot at governance. And what do Dems do.........fight with each over every little nuance they can imagine and criticize Obama ad nauseum. Rs don't set up a circular firing squad for every bill in front of Congress........and no koan, its not impressive that Dems whine and nuance every bit of legislature to death. It comes off more sniveling than progressive. Rs walk in lock step behind their leaders and hold their noses. That's how they get things done with a minimum of public griping. Its called working for the common good.....in this case, the R common good. Rs don't criticize their president to the point where independents get turned off and begin to wonder what the Rs are seeing that they don't see. But that's what Dems are doing. Obama is one of the best leaders in the free world. He is admired globally.....for his intelligence, his poise, his empathy, his belief in democracy. Do these Obama haters think its coincidence that the Arab Spring coincided with his administration? Every time he trashes Bashar or Qaddafi or Mubarak some Syrian or Libyan or Egyptian at great risk calls into CNN and thanks him. They wait on his every word. In the meantime Obama is working his tail off and getting things done. Does he get any gratitude from Dems? Of course not. He didn't get the public option so Obamacare sucks and isn't worth talking about. Waa....waa.....waa. Frankly, its getting way past old! And its not just people on this thread who feel that way. I get PMs from people on other threads who are sick of the non stop complaining by the leftie mafia.
