A Question on Trolls
Its been proven over and over the past couple decades that the Democrat's biggest problem is that they are seen as pussies. Specifically -
(1) that they have no core beliefs, nothing they will stand up for
(2) so afraid of "appearing weak" that they vote with the republicans even when they disagree, making them appear...weak
(3) afraid that if they take a stand against a guy with 30% approval ratings, they risk appearing "un-american"
(4) they frequently highlight the fact that they "voted differently than their base wanted", proving they "aren't liberal nut anti-american pussies like their base!"
(5) once in power, refuse to use that power to hold Republicans accountable for their crimes and political misdeeds...even though the Repubs did far worse when they were in power. As in, "lets just let Rove go here, why press on, he only broke the law and harmed our country. Why do we need to know the specifics anyway?" (Why is it on issues like this they DO NOT do as the Repubs do? The Repubs go after innocent people and crush them using their oversight powers. Or you know, use the AG office to put innocent people in jail who are running for Gov.)
Now, with that in mind, what are we to do with all the trolls here on TPM? Those that pretend they are Obama supporters, but then tell us its "great to move to the center, how brilliant!" Or, "who cares about FISA! Just shut up!" Or, "Shut up for during the next 4 months! Be silent!" You know, all those things that will cause Obama to lose his base, appear like a pussy who fears the Repubs, a guy who doesn't believe in his own ability to convince the voters of what the correct stance is on various issues - esp. those concerning the constitution which he took a pledge to uphold.
Obviously these trolls simply want us to do what we've done in all previous losing campaigns - NOT THIS TIME you McCain trolls. I want Obama to fight. I want Pelosi and congress to hold Rove accountable. I want them to vote down any FISA "agreement" that includes immunity for AT&T et al.
I am not going to "shut up". I am not going to cheer when Obama moves to the center (then states he is not), causing his base to lose enthusiasm. A move that will show the "up for grabs" voters that he's just a typical poll, no different than the others. I know you McCain trolls would love that, but you're far too obvious.
Nice try.
