So when Bush and the wingnut talking heads used that remark *against*
Kerry, they were being dishonest? I'm shocked, shocked.


And I'd offer that those decent Dems might wish to compare those who
dumped Kerry with those that dumped Lieberman and those who might have
be involved in sending Obama to stump for Ford.

And I'd offer that you're transparent attempts to foment acrimony
within the Dem ranks are especially lame.

Er, you suspect that posting to ROFF would be a useful tool to "foment
acrimony within the Dem ranks?" You really do need to retune your
tinfoil, Gracie...

Dems have the House. Dems have the Senate.

Well, not yet, but IAC, I'd offer that there's a good chance that rather
than Dems managing to block the most-right of the GOP's legislation,
it'll simply be the GOP blocking the most-left of the Dems...the mundane
(i.e., the non-vote-threatening) will get done as always.

They were sufficiently united to pull that off.

Yeah, just keep telling yourself that...

There's going to be disagreement. There are going to be power grabs.
BFD. A willingness to consider differing opinions is a *quality*, not
a liability IMHO.

Absolutely. And which of either end of the spectrum do you think will
actually do it?

Cumbayah, dude.

Hey, get rid of the pinheads on both sides of the aisle, and sure, why
not...

HTH,
