I just read an interesting article, in which the premise is that the progressive wing of US politics has retreated from any kind of real desire to discuss issues, or negotiate to achieve their goals.

Instead, they have retreated to snark and the demonizing of anyone who disagrees with them. The further to the left, the stronger this inclination.

Since Obama was rated as "the most liberal" senator, I've seen nothing in this campaign that discounts the article's thesis and plenty to support it.

Well, Firm it isn't interesting at all really, it is a right wing regressive's bad breath blowing back in his face.  You see they have retreated from any kind of real desire to discuss issues, or negotiate to achieve their goals.

Instead, they have retreated to snark and the demonizing of anyone who disagrees with them. The further to the rabid right, the stronger this imbecility.

According to the progressives here, the rest of the world loves us because of Obama.

Now here's the truth... These floats were part of the annual Carnival Parade in Germany

You don't know much about the political part of German carnival, do you?

quote:

The float shown above is indeed quite benevolent measured by the standards that apply to the occasion.
It is a humorous caricature without any true bite. How a rather well like politician would be treated.

Maybe do your research first before spouting bullshit.

Woods also repeated a version of events that the White House says is not accurate, that “the White House Situation Room was watching our people die in real time, as this was happening.”

In the spirit of things let me just say....bullshit!
That should just about cover it...and by "it" I mean your phony article ,your claim of snark ,your implied assertion that the right has any desire to negotiate (by the way to "negotiate" means to enter into discussions wherein there is a possibility and even a desire for give and take from both sides.Your side and their bullshit Grover Norquist pledge has never been willing to move and/or negotiate anything in good faith).Firm this stance of yours is old ,tired and so very full of shit believe me the only ones buying your act are those idiots who stand on the same side of your aisle.
So to your OP to your post....and to you.....BULLSHIT.
