I'm done with reading the Blue Mass Group blog. Elvis has not only left the building, but is dead as a doornail and lying face-down in his own vomit.
Immediately after the ConCon, they had a number of blog entries hand-wringing over how terrible it was that the anti-marriage amendment was killed procedurally. A certain segment of their contributers wants everything to be open and transparent instead of being back-room dealings. They don't care that even Mr. Smith learned how to pull off a filibuster and procedural dealings have been around since America was born.
Second, there was an entire argument that it was a bad thing because there was a health care amendment in line to be voted on that got killed as well, because it was next in line to be voted on.
These discussions became very divisive and had the nasty side-effect of making the gay marriage people and the health care amendment people hate each other and want to poke each others' eyes out with little sticks.
I was willing to put all this down to temporary insanity, but I just visited the Blue Mass Group and they had a post from a right-winger in libertarian clothing who had a post, "10 Things I Hate About Liberals".
Right. Why should I bother reading a progressive blog that peddles the same trash you can hear on right-wing talk radio? Why should I bother reading a progressive blog that seems to want to set its natural audience at each other's throats?
