Every day???

You really need to make some life changes. That's not a healthy way to live.

Or maybe it's you who has the problem.

As a woman, I really hate when other women cry "foul" and blame sexism for everything.

Hillary managed her campaign badly, made herself unappealing with her harsh attacks on Obama and - most importantly - never apologized for voting for a war that has murdered over 4,000 Americans.

It's not always about sexism.

For someone who doesn't care about politics, you sure pay a lot of attention to details.

But honestly? I can't take anyone seriously who 'doesn't care' who wins this election. Saying that just invalidates any other opinions you might have.

I know you won't understand why, but trust me. As a casual reader here, who has no idea who you are or what your agenda is, reading that just makes me disregard everything else.

I don't think the original post says that disagreement is a bad thing. I certainly disagree with Obama on FISA and a number of other issues actually.

If you re-read, you'll see that his point is that people on the left are starting to sound like people on the far right have sounded for years.

I am far to the left of most everyone in this country and - being a realist - I don't expect that stamping my feet or whining about that fact will change it. Nor do I expect my politicians to fall on their swords and lose an election just to confirm my view of the world.

Instead, I believe in working to change the mindset, so that politicians can operate more freely.

I also believe that even the best leader will sometimes disagree with my positions. If I wanted anything else, I should be running myself.

So the complainers need to act and not just howl at the moon. It ain't going anywhere and reality ain't changing.

Excellent post! Both Greenwald and Kos have been such disappointments to me in the last few weeks. I try to remember that they're young still (compared to me anyway!) but still ... they are beginning to sound just like fundamentalists and that is always an issue for me. Life is filled with shades of gray and pretending otherwise just makes you look silly and very immature.

Except Greg is totally cute so not at all like the scrawny kid ;-)

Those people on that site scare me.

Is it rewriting history to be respectful of a man who just died?

Well said.

Let's just hope that when we die, our colleagues and employees and friends mourn our passing as much as the people who knew him are mourning Tim Russert.

It would be nice to be a flawless paragon of virtue, worthy of nothing but praise, but most of us are flawed and hope that others will give us the benefit of the doubt. Especially on the day we DIED.

Great post! I actually laughed out loud when I heard that reference to Carter. Ancient history but for McCain it seems so recent.

Also, why bring up Obama's attack on him - he's just reinforcing the message.

Oh wait.... why am I complaining?
