Because what I see is that:
We criticize corporate media and Cable, but we keep watching closely hoping that they will change their tune, which they rarely do (did you see Anderson Cooper standing in the water with his hip-waders again, yesterday? meaning the shit is gonna stay the same.)
We say we don't believe in polls, but we post them as soon as they come out; multiple times, and panic over them.
We don't do media push back as often as we should, because we don't believe it makes a difference, although it has shown to work....but why bother.
When it is the Republicans who have the money, and the ground game.....we are afraid.
When it is the Democrats who have the money, the ground game, and even the issues, we are afraid.
We are renowned experts at criticizing our own (and that includes me with this OP....LOL!)
We have evidence that media and GOP operatives use information from our Blogs, but we post like they couldn't possibly be reading and using what we write against us.
Although we claim to know how to win an election, few of us really know what in the fuck we are talking about.
When an evident freeper posts some insane shit, he gets 101 responses before the thread is locked.
When a clear thinking DUer posts some fantastic news, the thread sinks after 10 replies, 2 of them being post kicks from sane DUer Op writer.
When something negative happens to our side, we post about that one thing in 55 different ways.
When something negative happens to their side, we immediately determine that it won't make a damn bit of difference again this time.
We like to write on blogs, but don't like to write to newspapers, or respond to the author of negative press stories.
We have no patience and want instant results about everything....and we want it right now!
We have more confidence in Karl Rove's editorials, than we do in the nominee of our party.
We assume that most voters are stupid except for us.
We post everything that the Right Wing says, as though spreading their tripe will help us win.
We demoralize each other instead of working to demoralize the opposition.
We have no faith that we can make a difference, although we could, and we have.
We say we understand Psyche ops, but yet we don't use it to benefit ourselves.
We Fight Freepers that come here, but we seldom dare venture and post our shit there.
We say we care about the real issues, but we don't post much on the real issues.
We say this election shouldn't be about personalities, but then post what the National Enquirer has published.
We say that this election shouldn't be about race, but then post every negative observation about race and stress how much it will matter as often as we can.
We listen to Sunday Talk shows, and react as though those pundits are the boss of us.
In other words, if we are what we have been waiting for, we are truly fucked.
(edited to add - ..."for those who this does not apply, this ain't about you." )
