Barack Obama

I live in a red town in a blue state; that means that we don't let our guard down, we're always working on something. Last night we had another phone bank. Weve got some terrific Democratic candidates for local office, and there are some issues that were working on as well. When we finished for the night we sat back and chatted for a bit.
The subject of Syria came up, and we talked about the various pros and cons. Interesting that in a room full of very ardent Democrats no voices were raised in accusation of President Obama; no, it wasnt a case of he can do no wrong, we often discuss areas where we disagree with steps he has taken. The point is, we can disagree without condemning or accusing. Thats a rare thing in some places. Im damned glad to have my local Democrats to talk with.

(53,698 posts)Sadly, the Obama haters seem to be the most prolific posters. And the shit they're saying about John Kerry, such as the fabrication that he said "bombing is not war" or that he has "no soul" makes this place look like the Blaze.

you spent the evening with Democrats, real working Democrats ... not "progressives" that occasionally vote for Democratic candidates or (civil) libertarians that occasionally vote for Democratic candidates, or anarcharists that occasionally vote for Democratic candidates, as are found here on DU.
There is a big difference.

That doesn't mean that DU isn't valuable, even when we disagree.
