The KOS kids attacking someone to the far left? Amazing!

Posted on August 30, 2007

Dr. Steven Porter announced his candidacy for Congress in the 3rd district of Pennsylvania by saying he had withdrawn from the Democrat Party and will run as a Progressive independent. He bashed the dems for being no different than the Republicans and that the Dems had abandoned their liberal/progressive roots. The Netroot kids at KOS were generally not happy with him.

I won’t quote the rules to you but at the end of the day, I think you’re just going to hand the election to the Republican. Thanks for nothing.

Lieberman has burned us all on Independents.SORRY not possible.

Lieberman is no progressive. Wake up. Special interests control us. We need independents.
####
You obviously don’t have the judgement to serve in Congress. Oh, and speak for yourself–no “special interest” controls me.

read the FAQ But the charter of this site, it’s raison d’être, is to elect Democrats.

Coming in here and trying to get us to vote for anyone but a Democrat is like showing up at a Black church wearing a white sheet. We aren’t going to interpret that {censored} as playing Casper the Friendly Ghost.

Enough with the “wake up”

Everyone here is wide {censored} awake and it’s just condescending to imply otherwise.
We’ve seen what happens with independent candidates and 3rd parties and the results are not good.

It is not progress if your candidacy helps a Repub win the House seat.

Emphasis and {censorship} mine.

These KOSites are just such nice kids - and did yo notice that the whole reason for KOS existing is to elect Democrats to Congress - I thought it was so that foul mouthed ill mannered kids would have a place to call their own.
