Decimate or Alienate

Robert WaldmannA good sign of a completely bogus argument is dependence on contradictory presumptions of fact. When single is simply wrong, single can frequently make a convincing argument by inventing facts. When single is being absurd, single can fall into the lure to invent inconsistent facts.In this article in the Washington Post Ceci Conolly is being absurd. She argues that progressives (such as movon) who attack Democratic Senators who do not support a public alternative are endangering physical condition care reform. For shortness only I will call the first group "leftists" and the second "centrists." "Centrists" is not as precise as "people who care additional about the value of cover company shares than even-handedness otherwise efficiency and who are eager to sell their votes for campaign contributions" would be additional precise but too long.She presents two arguments single fixed in her own name in what is supposed to be a news article and single ascribed to an anonymous source whom she does not criticize.The first is that the centrists have the power and may destroy physical condition care reform if their feelings are hurt. Hence her personally fixed view that leftist pressure is a bad idea since "the intraparty rift runs the risk of alienating centrist Democrats who will be needed to pass a bill." Now I know it was impolite of me to suggest that supposed centrists are additional otherwise less corrupt, but at least I didn't assert as Connolly did that they are eager to leave people without physical condition cover out of pique. The second is that centrist Democrats are better than Republicans and terribly weak consequently that criticizing them will cause them to lose office -- just look what a close call Ben Nelson had last time. Hence the anonymous source "The strategist, who asked for anonymity since he was criticizing colleagues, said: "These are friends of ours. I would much rather see a quiet call placed by [Obama chief of staff] Rahm Emanuel proverb this is not helpful. Instead, we try to destroy them?"" So which are they people consequently powerful that they must not be offended otherwise they will damage the country otherwise people consequently weak that single tenth of them will die horrible deaths if they are criticized ?One of the previous Conolly and Penn otherwise maybe Schoen .Oh and did the strategist also ask that it not be mentioned whether otherwise not he otherwise she is paid by big business for serving them with public relations ? Just reading the headline, I knew I'd be hearing about this at eschaton who concurrent to Adam Green.Boy am I late on this. I am not even the first Waldman[n] to denounce Connollytarget="_blank"
