The Case for Liberal Apathy
Liberal Democrats are twice as likely as conservative Republicans to stay home this November. Establishmentarian liberals are urging left-of-center voters to ignore the President's failure to deliver--and his refusal to try--on the issues they care about."The biggest mistake we [Democrats] could make right now," urged Obama last week, "is to let impatience or frustration lead to apathy and indifference--because that guarantees the other side wins."
"Impatience"? That implies there's something to be impatient about. That Obama is moving too slowly. But that's not the case. Liberals don't see a slow process. They see no process.
And what, exactly, is this "other side"? On issue after issue, Obama has cut-and-pasted Bush's Republican policies. Which isn't surprising, given that he didn't appoint a single liberal to his Cabinet.
The real problem for the Dems is a perception gap. The Democratic Party leadership thinks it deserves credit. They think they've accomplished a lot. "We've done the heavy lifting," bragged Nancy Pelosi, citing passage of the bailout, healthcare and financial regulation bills. But liberal voters were against the bailout. They see the healthcare and financial reform bills as useless sellouts to corporations.

Right Wing Trash
Liberal (Socialist) Rally Leaves Lincoln Memorial Ridden With TrashThe liberal “One Nation Working Together” rally in Washington Saturday was a trashy affair — much trashier than Fox News host Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally held at the end of August, at least according to one member (who didn’t want to be identified by name)......The Daily Caller
“I consider [The Daily Caller’s article] to be highly inaccurate. The garbage at the “One Nation” rally was no different than any other rally. Trash, it seems, is apolitical......Bill Line, Spokesmen for the National Park Service
Looking at the pic of the trash can and the field behind it. I think those Liberal Socialist Commies did a fine job. For the real Pigs at the Trough, check out these comments.
The Stogie is sorry. He usually dosn't post Right Wing Propaganda but was asked to by a friend!

Honor the Fallen Bike Ride
It was an emotional night. Before we biked, I read the names of Diane and five other bicyclists killed while pedaling since July 29. Ed Collins then talked about the loss of his dad, LeRoy, and his frustration that the driver who killed his dad was never cited. Then we started pedaling and it was amazing to see the long line of bicyclists biking down Central Avenue.here
