1. To punish the democrats we must primary them.

As if a more leftward Democrat candidate would win the general election?

How's that work, one wonders.

61. My guy McCain?

More tiresome predictability from one of the snarkiest party-over-principle types on DU.

64. I have principles; one of them is responsibility.

88. Responsiblity for accepting the status quo and siding with the powers that be is more like it.

Not something to be proud of, IMHO.

30. we are already suffering and those in charge are doing nothing to alleviate that.

so what do you expect people who have been lied to to do? reward the liars?

i am not young, and i have been a lifelong democrat but i am through with the democrats.

my two democratic senators helped to vote down the opportunity to re-import our own drugs from canada at cheaper prices. this was the last straw.

in a free market we should be free to buy our drugs from canada if we like.

The primitives don't promise to vote for any Republicans to replace wayward Democrats.

Instead, the primitives spend most of their time insisting wayward Democrats need to be "primaried out" by more left-leaning Democrats.

Again, as if that's going to help in the general election.

The primitives are so weird.

Since when do leftists want cheaper prices and free markets??

54. Actually, it's a straw man.

Based on a false dichotomy.

76. It's not a false dichotomy.... either Republicans will control congress or Democrats will

The proper place for a Democrat/Progressive/Liberal to exercise their anger is to defeat Democrats in the primaries that have not done their job well enough.

But after the primaries.... either a Democrat or a Republican is going to win each and every congressional seat.

At *THAT* point... if you are a Democrat/Progressive/Liberal and you do NOT vote for the Democratic nominee... then you are - by your inaction if you don't vote - helping the Republican win.

Now... you're a smart guy, jgraz. A little misguided at times, but smart. You *HAVE* to realize that the worst possible outcome for every issue you care about is for the Republican party to regain control of congress.

It won't "teach the Democrats a lesson". It will put the Democrats out of power.

How did 1994 to 2006 work out for you?

Work against Democrats in the fall, and you'll get to relive it.

You mean back in 1994-2006 when the R's controlled the House, the economy was humming, and people had jobs?

The "Dear Leader can do no wrong" cult followers are pulling out all the stops to shame their fellow primitives into falling in lockstep like they've been told to do.  The cultists on Skin's island need not worry.  When the time comes, the primitives will all fall in line.  For all their talk of "independent thinkers," that's the last thing they are.

65. I do more than vote 
 My NGO contributions total about $2500/year
Obama gets almost a letter a day from me
Mark Begich gets about two letters per week
I don't waste time writing to Lisa Murkowski or Don Young, but I do copy them on my frequent letters to Bernie Sanders (I like to think it annoys them)
I also send targeted donations for specific purposes (I sent Sea Shepherd $100 when the Japanese sank the Ady Gil)
I am currently boycotting all durable goods, restaurants, national franchises.
I divested all of our retirement funds from stock-based investments
I withdrew all savings from our bank in Nebraska and redeposited the funds into our CU in Alaska
My Facebook page is totally political

And I plan to travel to DC in March 2010 to join Cindy Sheehan on thee 13th and hang around for a demonstration planned for the 23rd.
 

Ha Ha!!!

I dunno, but I'm guessing bobbolink does that all the time.  She is homeless, you know.

How come nobody told me the bobbling primitive is homeless?

Damn, I miss a lot.

This is where genetics could help, we could all have our DNA modified so we could have a shell like a snail or a turtle and it would be like our own apartment we take with use everywhere.  Nobody would ever be homeless again!

I take it he/she/it is not buying anything from GM, McDonald's, or Walmart....

I'm sure they are suffering extreme economic hardship as a result....

I thought it was a fancy way of saying it is avoiding soap, warm water, and clean clothes.

That's what I thought, too.

They want a party purge akin to the one moving through the GOP as begun by the votes that stayed home since 2006 and catalyzed by the tea parties.

The stoner, loser misfits want to be us.

Yeah, they're trying to copy our own loser misfits. If they're as successful as ours, we'll soon have 60 Republicans in the Senate.

How's that work, one wonders.

The standard Liberal response for years when they'd lose elections was that they didn't go to the left enough.

I have to wonder if toliet paper is one of the "durable goods" he is boycotting. Cause I know they enjoy wiping the asses on washcloths and all, but that gets hard to do if you boycott laundry detergent and purchasing more washcloths........

I believe "durable" goods are durable in that they are used more than once. Washing Machines, Dryers, Dishwashers, Refrigerators, Air Conditioners, Automobiles, etc etc could all be considered durable goods.

No, but democrats try to be good stewards to "the planet" by following the malodorous Sheryl Crowe's one-square rule.
