For the record, I quite like New Donkey, at least when he’s not complaining about Dean supporters.
But these two twits need to go. Arguing that ‘others’ in the party don’t contribute to a strong message misses that when they sit there and whine in the Wall Street Journal or the Washington Times, they mix the message up. They create a sense of a disparate party with little in common. Criticism is useful, but when you run out and find the most obnoxious place to put that criticism and take joy in doing it, don’t be surprised when much of the party tells you to take a flying leap. For those of us who are closest ideologically, the New Democratic Network is far more appealing.
What bugs me most about their screed is that they spend 2/3 of it hammering on other Dems, and then their political prescriptions are weak. Don’t tell us we need to talk about ideas, just talk about ideas!
