"Why Obama And Democrats Don’t Do Much of What Liberals Want "

5. Thanks NB...I'm still reading "Jerome's View" (personal to him)

I'll definitely download that.

I think it's long past time we need to EXAMINE...what went Wrong and What We did Correctly in the Netroots Movement.

Thanks for the LINK!

I think that airing the differing viewpoints is a "GOOD THING" about how we who Seized and Owned (We thought) the "NETROOTS" ended up not as savvy as we all thought. (Sorry Martha) but, she did have a way with words.

And, I will go to my Grave...feeling that we (Netroots) laid a Foundation for the Future...even if we Flubbed up on our early efforts.

I refuse to be a "Debbie Downer" as Ian and Jerome are. Both admit they've moved on...but those of us in the "Left Behind Crowd" know we have hard road ahead of us...but we laid the seeds for Edward Snowden and the rest upcoming to SEIZE the MOMENT. I'm perhaps making this too Inclusive...because who the heck knows what inspired Snowden...but, the seeds were planted for CHANGE.. And, we haven't lost those Green Shoots no matter which Political Op..kept looking at the PAST for their PLAYBOOK.

The NETROOTS REVOLUTION was a good thing...even though the early stages...had their hits and disappointments...it was still worth being involved in and I believe, it will morph.

That's why I thought that "Jerome's" Replies were worth a look. We are making History as we Live in it........and what comes will go down long after us. For all it's WARTS and Stop and Starts...there are so many YOUNG who saw this as their Future...and when it got "haulted" they then will take up the Baton, in whatever ways that THEY FIND...to keep going. As I said, I truly believe this...that GOOD will COME FROM OUR EFFORTS..which seems so long ago in the current news cycle.
