This WAS NOT a liberal decision, this was an ELITE decision.

EXACTLY. We can't allow ourselves to fall for it when the media tries to get liberals and conservatives to blame each other. This isn't a liberal vs. conservative issue, there are just as many DUers pissed of about this as there are Freepers.

Maybe we could set up the first ever joint Freep/DU event to protest this decision? Nah, that's crazy talk...

No, I think its a good idea. Maybe Jim R or Kristinn or somebody else could contact somebody over there. They are all for it, just look at this thread:

It would send waves through the blogosphere.. and the media... Could you imagine? Even if we just had a 'joint' statement that we both agreed on and posted in on our respective sites. (lol - love to see the replies on that post)

The Washington Elites and media could not ignore both of us. True power to the people.

might be worth a shot.

We would have to take off our tinfoil hats, and they would have to take showers (kidding!), but it could work!

That's exactly right. As I've said before, they've got a dog in this race, too.
