I mean, at least Clinton waited until -after- he was elected to start throwing people like Jocelyn Elders under the bus. god. wake me up when...well, no, it isn't all over any time soon, is it. in two years? in six years? ever? oh, fuck 'em all, maybe we should just give it to McCain and let him piledrive us all the rest of the way to hell. or, i don't know. "someone save us." ...oh, shit, they're not coming, are they.

If Edwards hired Amanda because of the contents of her blog and how she ran it, then what kind of swaying in the wind would it be to fire her for the same reason?

Well, frankly, yeah.

god. wake me up when…well, no, it isn’t all over any time soon, is it. in two years? in six years? ever? oh, fuck ‘em all, maybe we should just give it to McCain and let him piledrive us all the rest of the way to hell.

or, i don’t know.

“someone save us.”

…oh, shit, they’re not coming, are they.

This is a moderate country. It's not like we're overrun by far right nuts. George W. Bush, george Allen, Brownback, Malkin, Coulter, Donahue, they're at least as far to the right as Amanda is to the left, but us moderates, we like our mainstream far right and uncontroversial. Frankly, if we combined all the prominent elected and media darling rightwingers in the US and amped them to the thousandth power, they still wouldn't be reactionary enough for a moderate like me.

How embarrassing. That's what I get for trying to post while rushing out for a job interview. Fixed.

But their political will to do the right thing is short-lived, and they will be the first to tell you to shut up and accept the bones tossed to you." -- WOW, this crystallizes my thoughts exactly (thinking of so much bigotry and lack of concern by liberals and progressives on issues from marriage equality to racial and class bias.). It's why, as just one example, I don't vote straight party Democrat anymore. CBrachyrhynchos Says: “Progressives are only allies when they can be persuaded or coerced into doing the right thing.
