Why? Because there’s no one out there with the balls, or with better creds. Also, in this situation (implacable Repug resistance to the will of the American people), a primary would be counterproductive: a waste of resources, diminution of the (already weak)Dem message, elevation of the repulsive Repug anti-Obama messages that have nothing to do with actual policy, etc. It’s all already been said in responses to your previous anti-Obama posts.
Simple: Obama is going to win again. (If progressives know what’s good for them, and go out and fight.) Why send him into his second term weakened? Not what we need. In these crazy times (See: US Political Party, Republican), anyone to the left of George the Third had better hope for a stronger, center-to-left president, not a weaker one.
Primaries are “fun”. Ask the Teabaggers. Primaries can even define a Party (but not quite like a Mardi Gras theme or a good square dance fiddler). The answers to our (Dem) problem are, as Obama himself said, change and hope. Change Obama. Change our representatives. Change how they view today’s American experience. Let them know–strongly–how they are misreading our lives outside their Washington enclave. And keep telling all Americans the Dem hope and the Dem way for a more just, accessible, rewarding American life.
The American people are already with us, and with Obama. We just have to help him become a better leader and help him message better. If he fails, I won’t cry for the Dem Party, I’ll mourn for America herself.
…where you can refer to people you don’t agree with without making up insulting derivatives of their names?
But seeing as how “Obama” and “George the Third” are the only people’s names I used, and I’m pretty sure neither the president nor the king would object, you must be confusing me with someone who is always respectfully civil. Sorry, not that guy.
for “BJ/Libertad of the left” but what are you talking about here? JHK are John’s initials.
Almost every post, there’s a variation of some name. In person, I wouldn’t give someone the time of day if they couldn’t constrain themselves from doing this.
Also, I don’t use “Obama” as an invective. And I use “President” often.
I can only imagine what Larry called Bush.
He meant…
Wouldn’t they all look like each other? Otherwise they’re just regular Pugs, not re-pugs.
But technically that’s “fawn.”
One sentence, followed by a C&P of an entire article, (from mediaite.com) is ridiculous.
Of course, President Obama is a one term President. He’s toast, no matter who the GOTP nominee is.
Carry on.
should be a reward reserved for much loftier achievement. Why else should we aspire?
Principle.
But you all seem to excel at it.
Cutting and pasting entire articles from somewhere else is against Colorado Pols’ posting policies and is just generally a shitty thing to do. We really don’t care about whether you agree with the rules or not, but you do have to follow them if you want to continue to participate here.
We’re all tired of his nonsense anyway.
You did your best to suppress Democrats Free Speech there as well, Especially that of those Dems advocating the Impeachment of Bush and Cheney. It was all about electing Democrats… even IF they were barely worthy of the term.
* However I am pretty sure I Have ALL of the Links somewhere! I’ll see if I can find them. I think I have “screen shots” as well… somewhere….
Does anyone Remember who is behind the phoney name “ColoradoPols”… but who works for ProgressNowColorado?
I’ll do my best to follow your rules but when the rules are used to SILENCE fellow DEMOCRATS… well there is something very wrong about that!!!
If Bush & Cheney had been Impeached thousands of U.S. Soldiers would still be Alive and/or un wounded and most likely the rank and file of the Democratic Party would be respected far more than under this Administration and we would have a better Economy than we are suffering through.
My response was to friend the person named on Facebook. He’s What makes you think anyone cares now? Have a beer and relax. It’s just the internet.
And the rest of the Democratic Party ARE SICK OF IT!!!

PS: IT Took A Lot of Guts for FONG of Square State To Publish that EXPOSE of ColoradoPols, that the controlling Identity (fake identity) at ColoradoPols.com is one of the managers of ProgressNowColorado.
Go die, John.
I’ll buy! And I don’t even drink!
Enough with the accusing each other of enjoying death/wishing death on each other/etc.
Get a fucking grip. That is utterly inexcusable.
You think I really want him to die?
Comments like that are why I hate this place now. Good lord.
That’s the kind of thing I’d say on a bad day, and it sounds weird coming out of a decent person’s mouth.
The allegation has been discussed before, and Pols doesn’t seem to take it too seriously.
I take it back. But I DO wish Mr. John H. Kennedy would find another sandbox in which to be the bully.
although “pooping in the corner of the sandbox and hoping others smell it and it messes up their afternoon” is not really the same as being a bully, at least not the way I remember childhood.
She’s a badass.
But I also don’t care who’s behind Pols. They’re just the people following along with the mop (apologies to Wikipedia for the theft of their definition of a moderator)–the posters drive the community.
You could make a meaningful and concrete difference for progressives today, really! I’m serious. Interested?
Here’s how — there’s a guy running around here named MarkG . . . you and he could spend decades together in a chat room — I’ll pay the rent. The world would be a much better place.
Nobody here is “suppressing” your speech. We aren’t telling you what you can or cannot say — but we ARE telling you that you cannot cut and paste an entire article that someone else wrote. You can make all of the same points, but you just can’t post the entire document. If you want to wholeheartedly violate copyright law, go start your own website and go to town. That has absolutely nothing to do with “free speech.”
1) If very few people agree with him, that’s “suppression” of speech, or a “stolen” election.
2) If only Dems had balls, Bush/Cheney woulda been impeached successfully enough to save American soldiers’ lives — even though that would’ve required lots of Republican votes.
3) Unicorns climbing magical rainbows are pretty.
Bush and Cheney, but Corporate Dems like Pelosi “Refused to Allow it”, Condemning thousands of US Soldiers to unnecessary deaths and mutilations.
The Republicans “vote as a block”.
There is no reason our House Dems cannot.
statement more reality based, Johnnie.
Yes, we had a majority in the House after 2006. If the House had voted by simple majority to impeach, the Article of Impeachment would be sent to the Senate where you need a 2/3rds majority to convict the President of impeachment.
We had a 51-49 majority in the Senate (with the presumption at the time that Sanders and Lieberman would vote with Democrats–and I’m pretty sure you know how that worked out regarding Lieberman.) At best, we had 50 votes, a bare majority.
Now, you’re a bright boy. Do 50 members equally a 2/3rds majority?
