		<description>I think Eileen should challenge Nye in a primary since she&#039;s so passionate about the environment and healthcare.  There will be plenty of contrast there.   Let the issues come out and the debate begin.</description>

		<description>Glenn Nye promised he&#039;d vote for the House Healthcare bill?  And if you care as little about Glenn Nye as you say you do Spotter, why do you insist on posting in this thread? 

Oh and has Barack Obama kept his campaign promises on healthcare?  Are you not ever going to vote for him either?

Am I Barack Obama now too?

Oh and what did I do to offend you again?  Ask someone to &quot;grow a pair&quot;?  Asking this person what makes her a &quot;good Democrat&quot; trash talking another Democrat?  All of this insults YOU?</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think that if a Republican takes that seat, it will make one bit of difference on health insurance since, hello, Glenn Nye voted AGAINST the health care reform bill he promised to support.

I&#039;m not infatuated at all.  I don&#039;t care what Glenn Nye does, or what he pays attention to.  I don&#039;t care what insults you, or he, or any of your sock puppets, fling at the good Democrats who expected Glenn Nye to live up to his word.  I really don&#039;t care what his latest lame excuse is, either.

I pay attention to whether people I voted for have integrity and keep their campaign promises.

Glenn Nye doesn&#039;t keep his campaign promises.  He has no integrity.  He will not ever receive my vote again.</description>

		<description>@spotter: and there are 50 comments on the latest blog post about the Apple Tablet at Gizmodo.com - proof that Glenn Nye and his office are deeply interested in the forthcoming Apple device.

Oh wait - the number of comments on a random blog actually AREN&#039;T indicative of a Congressman&#039;s interest in that topic? My bad.

Are you really so infatuated with yourself that you think Nye or his office believe you&#039;re worth sitting around all weekend (when they&#039;re presumably off from work, by the way) and engaging in this ridiculous back-and-forth with you? To believe that would require a ridiculous level of narcissism - or just a lack of ability to think things through to their logical conclusion, which seems more fitting for someone who doesn&#039;t understand that a Democrat in VA-02 can&#039;t be Dennis Kucinich.

&quot;A lot of voters are losing sleep trying to keep their health insurance...&quot; and you think that by not voting for Nye and thereby helping to ensure a Republican takes his seat, that you will somehow be improving chances that people will eventually get health insurance? It must be nice to be a mental twelve year-old, but those of us who have grown up and experienced life have learned that sometimes, you have to take the best you can get. If you think you can elect someone significantly more progressive than Nye, I wish you the best of luck. But I don&#039;t think you can.</description>

		<description>I wasn&#039;t referring to you, Scott.  You disagreed, you didn&#039;t insult.  Question only comments on Glenn Nye, and only to defend him.  There are 23 comments on this post, proof that Glenn Nye cares what Eileen and other Democrats think.

The people who voted for Glenn Nye want him to keep his campaign promises.  It&#039;s really that simple.  If he does not do so, they will not vote for him.

Whether or not Glenn Nye loses sleep over that is his problem.  A lot of voters are losing sleep trying to keep their health insurance, while he diddles around with health insurance lobbyists.</description>

		<description>Well actually, I don&#039;t personally know Nye.  I have commented before on other blogs on topics other than Glenn Nye.  My apologies if I did insult anyone (if I did then it was unknowingly), that wasn&#039;t my intention.</description>

		<description>And Spotter, what are you bothering me for?  You guys might get a hard on for attacking Glenn Nye, but have you seen me defend him?  Why can&#039;t I be a &quot;concerned voter&quot; as well who has questions for people who clearly don&#039;t know how to HELP Democrats?  Seriously?  Can you believe that?  How can she say she&#039;s &quot;helping&quot; Glenn Nye?  How is this &quot;helping&quot; any Democrat?

What sensible Democrat would even want her brand of &quot;help&quot;?</description>

		<description>So Eileen, why do you think you couldn&#039;t get what Glenn Nye was thinking on a climate bill?  Do you honestly think he didn&#039;t know where you stand anyway?  Do you at all even try to think these things through?  Or do you just react with the first twinge that comes to mind?  Seriously?

And what do you know about being a good Democrat?  Have you even read your blog post?  Which other Democrats have you attacked?  Why can&#039;t you answer my questions?  If this is your idea of helping Glenn Nye, describe what exactly is [i]hurting[/i] Glenn Nye?  And who in the world did you think you were &quot;campaigning&quot; for?(Who considers complaining over a internet connnection campaigning anyway?)  Did you read his website?  Campaign literature?  Did you even talk to him then?  Or were you still hiding within &quot;several coalitions&quot;?

And if you think he blew you off, what do you think he did with the other side?  Or have you convinced that he plays favorites or something?  Psh, if he did, Gee, I wonder why?

And AGAIN, what makes you actually THINK you&#039;re any better of a Democrat than Glenn Nye?  The way you&#039;re acting, you really think Glenn Nye needs a Republican to run against him?  Do they need to put you on payroll or just make sure you have the necessary bandwith?</description>

		<description>Whatever.  Again, I don&#039;t care if Glenn Nye loses sleep, or if he&#039;s in the best possible position going into the election, or who else voted for what else.

I care if Glenn Nye breaks his word and votes against something that Glenn Nye promised to vote for, based on some phony excuse about costs, because he ineptly believes that will maximize his political position.  And then sends people over to this blog to launch profane attacks against concerned voters as &quot;liars&quot; and &quot;not real Democrats.&quot;

It won&#039;t work.  And he won&#039;t get my vote, ever.</description>

		<description>Trust me, I think Nye won&#039;t lose an hour sleep over all this.  If you analyze it, its likely that he is in the best possible position going into the election.  And next cycle, health care reform and energy bills won&#039;t make it to the floor as they won&#039;t have the votes. The thing about health care reform is that it is a very complex issue.  Nye said he supported health care reform but he did not see the atrocious bill that came out of the House at that point.  Nye was not the only Dem to vote against it.</description>
