General Discussion

I've voted in every election and primary (even if it's for school board and even when I've had pneumonia - because that's where the sneaky Michele Bachmann types find foot holds in MN politics) and I've even been a local delegate.

Liberals tend to be election judges, volunteers, drive the elderly to the polls, do door knocking, stuff envelopes, phone bank etc. Do you have any empirical evidence that it was we liberal folks who are shocked by the President's proposal of chained cpi who didn't vote in 2010? This has become such an urban legend to bash "libruls"and it's offensive. What were your GOTV efforts in 2010?

Yes, the President is the President of us all, not just the wants and desires of the Republicans. I find it sad that you're willing to give up THE major plank of the Democratic Party, the plank that is a huge selling point for people to vote Democratic to "get things done" and because to you it's not the "end all be all". Well, for many it is. For many it's everything.

Just what do the Republicans offer? What was that? Nothing? So we chip away at the Democratic Party's legacy for nothing? That's unconscionable. This is eating the seed corn well before winter.
