Looks Like Kos Crashed Into His Own Gate…SELLOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Noel’s writing is at his finest with DKos’ Moulitsas Crashes Into the Gate as Democrats Vote to Fund Iraq War ! Please take the time to read how kos sells out without a fight:
Maybe more important, are the Kos Kidz and netrootians going to accept such a lame excuse?
Only time will tell. However, one thing has been made infinitely clear: regardless of his seeming progressiveness and ultra-liberal maverick status, Markos is willing to play ball with the Democrat establishment when he believes it’s necessary.
As such, the Kossacks and the netrootians are going to either have to accept this, or find themselves a new leader.
Stay tuned.
*****Update: Some interesting comments from Kossacks after Kos’ post. For instance, this one from happiness cat:
Â
If anything, the closing line suggests that Markos will be empathetic to partisans who will eventually turn on the Dems. Â Empathy that he has refused so far to give and has scorned others for giving.
I wish he’d land on a position and stick with it. Â I’m getting dizzy from the bipolarity of his diaries over the past few days.
And this from RickMassimo:
But for one thing, five months isn’t that short. It’s basically a quarter of the congressional term. And what have we got to show for it? When it comes to Iraq, squat.
I’m tired of hearing about “September”. Did we do all this to change a Freidman to a Kirk?
I guess if I really believed that these guys were worth the benefit of the doubt, I’d give it to ‘em. But we’ve been Keeping Our Powder Dry For The Big Fight That’s Coming for about 25 years now. I’m getting a little suspicious.
The same member even recognized something that either eluded Kos, or he was too dishonest to address it:
What particularly sets me off about this vote on this bill was that it wasn’t even close. If the Senate was 51-49 with Lieberman tipping the scales, I’d be high-fiving and saying “Better luck next time.” But 80-14 on an issue where the public is 70-30 the other way is pathetic.
Finally, this comment here got quite an interesting discussion going.

Democrats don’t keep their campaign promises.
Not exactly news, but it is well spelled out.
