Whiny Lefties and Mean Righties

I will say it again for me as a moderate Democrat nothing is more offputting than the whining of the far left. You can pick the issue, it does not matter, but when the far left gets going with their victim mentality you just want to tell them to shut up.

When those on the right do their normal manipulation of non facts and repeat them often enough to convince some that they are the truth you can at least respect them for having some gumption and drive.

On the left though we use a Chicken Little The Sky is Falling approach and any chance of gaining Independent Voters from our efforts fly out the window. A year or so ago I wrote about friends of my wife from Colorado who are so far removed from the life of the typical American voter that as an example of an Obama voter they do more to hurt the cause than help it, these people and people like them are those that you hear complaining, whining, or speaking in a condescending way of those who do not agree with them. It will never achieve the aims of the good, reasonable folks in the moderate middle.

Obama got his ass kicked last week. There is no explanation and certainly no excuse. It was not Jim Lehrer's fault and really, running an ad with Big Bird in it, that is supposed to convince undecided voters that you are the serious candidate.

The people on the left need to get a grip and Obama needs to do better at the next debate. It is just that simple.
