Democracy for America

Quit the bullshit handwringing and whining about Wisconsin. Yes, the money was a factor, but Walker would have still won with even money. The people there were tired of the recalls and they didn't want to recall a sitting governor. And yes, they should have focused on November. Dean has essentially said exactly what I have said on this board time and again.


Dr. Dean is also right that Netroots needs to focus on beating Republicans and getting a strong progressive turnout to do just that, and enough of this total crap about being "disappointed with Obama." Just ENOUGH. Ya, look what happened in 2010. You have THE MOST PROGRESSIVE BODY OF LEGISLATION ENACTED SINCE THE GREAT SOCIETY and yet way too many progressives whined and bitched because it wasn't purity, stayed home, let TeaScum get elected, and now they are REALLY bitching about that. Ah well. Elections have consequences. The "occupiers" need to get out of camping in parks and start working on progressive Democratic campaigns and focus on beating the right wing.

Finally, no Daily Kos guy, Obama should NEVER have gone to WI to campaign for that recall there. So enough of THAT insanity too.
