try working on your position on the NSA spying issue. The bingo thing is funny, but does not say anything about your side. Since you keep posting "hair-on-fire" humor instead of your position, I am forced to guess. Here it goes...

Your position on this issue is: " Barack is a Democrat, therefore it is unacceptable for anyone to dissent about anything that happens during his term, because it makes Democrats look bad". You are a Democratic strategist ( according to Fox... Liked the support for Social Security,btw ), so you MUST know that arguing for spying and against Constitutional rights is a Public Relations Loser. While I liked you clip from Fox News, I must say that I noticed your website has a lot of "safe" material; Pro-Social Security, anti-rape, and womens rights. All "slam dunks" that no one with a sense of decency would argue against. The tough stuff ( i.e. NSA spying/ whistleblowing ) just gets these weak " Hair-on-fire " attacks. Ridiculing an opponents talking points is not the same thing as refuting them. I could easily do the same "bingo" gag, except there aren't enough " pro-spying/ Anti- Constitutional" talking points to fill even one line on the board.
You seem like a decent cat. If you want to try to reach those of us that object to the NSA overreach, you will have to do better than "Hair-on-fire". If you just want to stick your finger in the eye of anyone that you think is making The President and/or Democrats look bad by prolonging this issue, then keep the ridicule coming .

We ARE on the same side, but this is an issue where Partisanship should be absent.

Good luck on whatever else you are working on.......

What I said in post 11 to Sunseeker IrishAyes Jul 2013 #12
Why are you here telling anyone to work on their position on anything? If you don't care for the OregonBlue Jul 2013 #35
Uhhh .... IrishAyes Jul 2013 #5
This was supposed to be a safe haven, not a forum. So, we are not allowed a safe haven on DU. freshwest Jul 2013 #8
Are the mods not group members? Are they asleep at the wheel? IrishAyes Jul 2013 #10
There are no mods, in the traditional sense. Only juries and hosts. freshwest Jul 2013 #14
Are we then reduced to having to swat each mosquito individually IrishAyes Jul 2013 #22
There is a problem at DU that we no longer have 'mods' as we did at DU2. This stuff would not have freshwest Jul 2013 #28
