From Inside the Beltway: Don't listen to what I say - watch what I do

28. Adoration worked against us Dems...even though we needed to give him

a break for a year to deal with Bush Mess...that adoration and break went on too long...IMHO... And, from then on ...we were co-opted by not being unified in speaking out.

But, funding got cut for Lib Bloggers, Foundations (due to stock market crash) and other groups like Unions (because of the GM Deal & others that Unions had to cave to) and there was lack of Dem Party Big Money to keep the Obama Coalition together for 2010 Mid-Terms which the Repugs Swept. Also losing "ACORN" as an activist Grass Roots Group (because of Breitbart lies which weren't agressively refuted) hurt the "on the ground" voting registration. AND that our Dem Party didn't follow through with going past the Overwhelming support of Obama and his election to follow through on what Howard Dean BUILT...in his "50 State Effort."

Obama won...and it seemed as if we Dems Lost given the years following with Wall Street Bailouts and Big Business and Repug Teapartiers getting all the attention.

I actually blame our Dem Party Organization for allowing this ...sometimes more than Obama...because it was up to them to Continue the Obama/Dem Momentum...and they let us down...Big Time.

I know this view is not popular...but I'm an older Dem and have history to watch...so...just saying it here because some older Dems might understand from their own observations.
