Why I have issues with the left

This is why I have distain for a lot of people on the left.

CHRIS MATTHEWS: I am so proud of the country. To reelect this president and overcoming -- not because of the partisanship or even the policies. Here's an African-American guy with an unusual background -- part immigrant background, part African-American background -- with all this assault on him from day one. From Mitch McConnell, from the clowns out there that will never be elected, never will be to anything.

And the way he took it, as someone said, with coolness and charm and dignity and took it and took it and kept moving forward and doing his job. And the American people, and I know we look at these percentage, 40% of white vote. Fine. That's about right among Democrats in the last couple cycles, three cycles or four. Good work for them. Good work for him. A good day for America.

I'm so glad we had that storm last week because I think the storm was one of those things. No, politically I should say. Not in terms of hurting people. The storm brought in possibilities for good politics.

You can disagree all you want but your wrong. I am using his own words.

Mike this has nothing about who won or lost, this is about some jerk saying that the hurricane was good.

No he was not!....I respectfully disagree...

I heard a little (which is way too much) of Rush earlier and it was the same sour grapes I see here.
Your candidate of choice lost and trying to ameliorate the pain by digging up someone to rail against is, at best, unbecoming - in the truest sense of the word.

Idealistically, there are probably as many things I like as dislike on the left.  (Chris Matthews being one of the dislikes....)  Anyhow, what is echoing louder and louder around here is the ability to become flexible, try something knew.

We aren't even trying things to see if they'll work (for the most part).  We sit in stalemate, point fingers, place blame and all the while every issue goes unattended... like we'll eventually forget about them.

What we need is these people to step up and say, "here's the plan, and we're going to give it a go... if it doesn't work, we are already working on another plan."  

We just need to try something.... anything.....
