Where Michael Moore and other so called progressives lost me
When they (Moore, Kucinich, etc.) surrendered their principles for political expediency.

Listing numerous excuses for why they've chosen their candidate -- and, I MEAN excuses not reasons! I know the party is morphing into little more than a conduit to streamline the party's candidate (aka the one with money/celebrity endorsements/political clout) into the nomination.

If things don't change quickly, I think I'll pass on participating in this sham.

4. Don't know where you are getting your information, or even what the hell you are saying.

As of two days ago Moore hadn't endorsed ANYBODY for the Democratic nomination.

I'll give you a 10 for righteous indignation and a 0 for logic.

9. I think you are being more than fair.
I'll up that another 10 for its obtuseness.

We have to win this time -- if we don't, we'll have no nation left.

10. We have a word for liberals like this--"Doomsday Donkeys."
OK, maybe it's only my word, but I'm trying to popularize it.

Don't bother taking any action! It's all over! We're all going to die! The media is watching! Nobody can be trusted! Turn your back on society! etc.

But at least on our side, they don't hole up in bunkers with rifles and bibles and prepare for the Second Coming....

15. I have two words, but I'll settle on the relatively non-offensive one: coward.

14. Since when did Michael Moore ever surrender his principles for political
expediency? Have no idea what you are talking about. I do know H. Clinton would not give him an interview, is that what you are complaining about because of his comments on her? Guess if you are a Clinton supporter, maybe that is what you are trying to say, can't really figure out your point here. Don't know if you are a Clinton supporter or not.

What I do know is Michael Moore would not surrender his principles for anything.

16. He's an Edwards supporter
apparently he's angry because Kucinich isn't supporting his guy and Michael Moore isn't endorsing him (even though he wrote nice things about him and neglected to mention any of his negatives).
