“The fact is that there's hundreds of thousands of incredibly motivated, active political partisans working on the blogs. These people generate buzz, it generates local activism. These aren't the kind of people that pay attention a little to politics, turn it off and then do something else. They live and breathe politics. And anybody that wants to build a movement or a successful campaign needs people like the people who read blogs.” PeopleKindPoliticalAttentionSuccessfulBreatheActivismPay AttentionMotivated Author:Markos Moulitsas
“I don't necessarily have any designs in being in politics for the rest of my life. I don't necessarily think that this is the best thing for our country to have an environment so polarized that the political discourse is this aggressive and this nasty. I don't think it's a good thing. But until we see a sort of backing off from the Republicans that have created this environment, I don't see a reason why Democrats should hold off and act any differently.” ThinkingCountryReasonPoliticalEnvironmentDesignRepublicanGood ThingsDemocratAggressiveNasty Author:Markos Moulitsas
