It was at the top of the greatest page for quite some time. A large number of DUers took the bait unfortunately. Many had no idea the article was written by a well-known conservative.
I'm trying to make sure the same mistake is not repeated.
Understand that there are interlopers who use these forums to split actual "Democrats". Not everyone on the internet, or DU, is who they claim to be. Just ask a recently banned "troll".
here.
And if you bash Obama all the merrier, cause it's all about the rec's. Throw a Dem under the bus off to the greatest page. Show the positives of what we have accomplished so far...and the outrage in 5...4...3...2...1 
and then it sinks.
The sad thing, EW is my Senator. I met her and she is awesome. Yet since she was elected I have said little about her here. Not that I have issues with her, she is doing what she does best in the Senate. She will be there to focus on the issues of the middle class and can focus on wall street. EW can do this as the Senior Senator from Mass. She is in her element and the GOP fears her and wants her to fail.
I have always questioned the rush of some to want her out of that seat. Why is that...hmmm? She can do far more damage to the GOP where she now sits. So, again I ask, why the rush to have her move on?
I have asked it many times here and have been slammed. I have been told with a laugh...so a Senator has more power that a President??? My answer was that as a Senator she can focus on the issue of the middle class and the banks. A President can not focus in on an issue or two. They have the whole country to run and our foreign affairs.
We need EW where she is and she is indeed where she wants to be. 
For those that want her gone.
Just look what Teddy Kennedy did for this country as Senior Senator from Mass , may he rest in peace.
As for who wants that seat? Probably Scott Brown... he lost to her. Is now running in NH and will probably (hopefully) lose.
Obama bashing candidate X, Y, or Z comes along. Remember that hot minute when Brian Schweitzer was all the rage? Until people started digging into his actual positions on the issues, and learned that aside from his Obama bashing, he really had very little in common with liberals, or most Democrats for that matter.
The folks clamoring for an alternative don't inspire much confidence, do they? Gee, I wonder who will come along after O'Malley's fifteen minutes are up?
game" while liberals are almost solely focused on the White House. What makes them think they don't have to do the work? Whoever the POTUS is, they need a Congress they can work with. 
by some around here. They should be so lucky, huh?
If it wasn't for DU I wouldn't even know what Third Way was. And to be honest, nothing they could ever do could make me have less respect for them as I do the ones here that believe that they are the source of all evil in this world.
Edit: And I wrote this post BEFORE I even saw post 38!
quinnox was famous for it. Whatever was galvanizing Dems at any given moment, was met with his equivalent of "Benghazi". The Trayvon Martin debate seemed to upset him mightily. The Christie bridge scandal...same thing. He'd start threads like, "if you're tired of hearing about x, y, or z...you can hide. Things that normally would've been important to Dems of all stripes were particularly upsetting to him and his clique. I saw that one coming from a mile away...you Better Believe It!
Believe it or not, that last one was posted here by one the president's most vocal detractors. I couldn't believe what I was reading, and couldn't believe the entire board wasn't offended by it, but it's a new day on the Libertarian "DU".
No doubt from one of our staunchly "liberal" lion "allies" that believes that the only issue that matters is class and that Obama/Dems use social issues to "fool" the Dem base into supporting them, right?
It has ceased to have any real meaning anymore, my dear Cha.
clever 
Tarheel
the GOP is everywhere! 
That's right. We all should know this, but maybe some younger DUers haven't learned how to scrutinize what they read. It really only takes a minute to pick it apart. Remember: you can't believe everything you see or hear. You MUST consider the source first and foremost. And I totally agree about being leery of any article that plays up a division in the Dem Party... especially in the run-up to an election. The Republican opposition research group really doesn't have much to work with. So they just blather out blatant lies, and their base believes it. "Skeptic" is my middle name. 
I liked that graphic btw 
Thank you for the OP.. I come here to learn and golly gee you guys are always there for me.
