Whiny Liberal Bloggers Full of Self Importance…and Why Their Helping Obama Appear Moderate
July 1, 2008 by IrishSpacemonk
Lately I’ve been biting my tongue.
McCain is such a dull candidate he can’t even get the progressives excited about taking him on. Instead, some lefty bloggers are having a hay day challenging Obama’s “surprise” move to the center.
Instead of focusing on real news, policy issues and solutions, like the escalation of bombings in Iraq, or the fact that Afghanistan is still a war claiming lives, or that it now costs over $40 to fill my Honda Civic (which I’m sure concerns most of you out there)… no instead of focusing on the stuff that really matters, the liberal bloggers like the Kos of KOS (sorry - don’t buy the line about getting out the checkbook and penning $2300) who claim the mantel of progressive have had fun bashing Obama.
I’m fine with critiquing policy positions based on fact, but when discussion becomes skewed by idealism, it starts get old, and I start to get less “slightly left leaning.”
But of course no one’s listening.

It’s pretty funny really as if they don’t know what it takes to get elected, as if they don’t know that Obama has to to what he is doing to get elected. Huff-Po which annoys me often, did have a funny post today titled “Liberal Bloggers Accuse Obama of Trying to Win Election”. The truth be spoken. I wish everyone would shut up, they have little of significance to say anymore.
I agree. I think it’s time everyone took a little summer break from the whole politics thing - myself included. And god konws I’ve been trying.
