I removed nutbag because it wasnt what I meant to say. By fundamentalist, I meant someone who is in lock step with the ideology of the far left. I've spent months complaining about the GOP trying to "purge" it self with anyone who isnt in lock step with the far right ideology. I think it's stupid to rejoice over some on your side retiring because they didnt completely agree with the far left ideology 100% of the time. I LOVE the fact that the democratic party is a more open umbrella than the GOP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just making the argument that sometimes it's better to have someone on your side, even if he isnt completely with you. I wonder, having watched the last year, whether Ben Nelson, Joe Lieberman, and similar folks have done more to hurt the Democratic party than they would have had they been outright republicans saying 100% no on everything. We're in this funny zone right now where the people who benefit from no action on anything are the people who currently have all the money, and pretty much any change would wind up hurting them.

Rex Kickass Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 Evan Bayh just proves that he's the piece of s*** so many people thought he was, by blaming gridlock as his reason for retiring. Instead of fighting to get things passed, he's just rolling over to obstructionism because of obstructionism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
