Re: Pointless. (3.00 / 6)

if you don't mind, could you give us a schedule so that we know when it's ok to have fun with the blog we write on for 10 hours a day 7 days a week?  thanks.

Re: Pointless. (none / 0)

Matt,

Its not about having fun. I support what you guys do as much as anyone, and you damn well know that you're not looking a schedule. You guys are the bloggers here, its your site, but I don't see why a sharp rebuke from you is necessary at ANY time when someone disagrees with one of yo.

If you could, let us know when its not okay to take seriously things that are written regarding serious topics. 'Oh, this time, we're just having fun, so no disagreeable comments, please.'

Re: Rahm's a Democrat right? (3.00 / 0)

I don't understand all the sarcastic comments about Rahm Emmanuel.

The last time I checked he was a Democrat. The last time I check he headed the DCCC that produced the largest Democratic House victory in 30 years.

I don't understand all the hidden animosity.

Matt, you're kidding around? If this article was praising Howard Dean, I think you're going to see Alleluia & Praise the Lord from the same people who are being sarcastic.

Until a certain segment of our party realizes that the Left won't Fly without moderates &  moderates realize that we will not soar with the Left.

Having Fun? PLEASE !

P.S. Just like Joe Lieberman was just declared Today by NY Times & Wall Street Journal as the MOST POWERFUL MAN in the Senate. Was that funny too? I wonder why.

Being a Democrat doesn't automatically mean that what you do is right.  And I don't think the animosity has ever been hidden.

Yes, he was heading the DCCC for this election, but it does not automatically hold that he is RESPONSIBLE for that.  You're probably wearing a shirt right now, and if you flap your arms, you won't be able to fly.  Just because both facts are coexisting does not mean that the one impacts the other necessarily.

Re: Rahm's a Democrat right? (3.00 / 0)

That's because Dean actually implemented and fought for (not against!) the 50 State Strategy.

So yeah - Emmanuel is an ass for taking credit FRAUDULENTLY.

Dean was right, Rahm was wrong - exept now, Rahm was somehow right and Dean just went along for the ride?  Or better yet - they did it IN SPITE OF Dean?

Yeah... I wonder where the animosity is coming from... where could it be?


McCain sucks!

Rahm was the major force behind many wins (1.00 / 1)

Face it, his recruited candidates: Schuler, Jennings (who won), Giffords, Mitchell, Ellsworth, Arcuri, etc. etc. mainly won their races.

Also, the 50-state strategy was FAR from the only field operation in town. The DSCC and DCCC actually spent more money on field than the DNC.

Dean himself has said repeatedly that the 50-state strategy is long-term and is still only in its infancy.
