Recently, Mole333 expressed to me his concern that I’ve spent more time bashing fellow Democrats that I have criticizing Republicans. I disagree, but the perception is surely not to be dismissed lightly, even if much of the commentary on TDG is also dedicated to fellow-Democrat bashing, and even if Rock’s most over-the-top comments about the evils of our junior Senator went by without so much as a peep in this neighborhood.
Mole is clearly not without a point; we live in a mostly one-party town, and I comment mostly about local politics; it’s hard not to focus on wars within the family, although I’ve always reserved my harshest criticism for examples of party disloyalty, which means that when I criticize a Democrat, it is usually for committing the unnatural act of lending aid and comfort to Republicans.
As a peace offering to y’all, I am offering these links to three pieces in service to bashing Republicans and electing Obama. I will confess that one piece is mostly an extended bash of one particular Democrat, but I am bashing him for his conservatism.
I will also confess that that same piece probably looks at some international issues in a manner not usually seen in these quarters. But, you know some NYC bloggers has to hustle Obama votes from non-progressive Democrats, and I haven’t noticed that anyone else out there is doing it, so be glad that someone is.
