A card-board cut out of Nancy Pelosi defeated Colbert-Bush? Benghazi?

The GOP starts brush fires and Democrats run helterskelter disorganized and fighting each other while tough talking Cristi gets l-band surgery in preparation to eat The Dem's lunch.

I"m depressed because on the ground, at the grassroots, we are fighting GOP at the state level while they chip away at what has been settled law/policies - women's rights union rights worker rights...

The Senate is a mess..why the hell doesn't some tough talking LBJ-like type corner Graham in a dark corner and wave the Aug 6, 2001 President's daily briefing memo titled "BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO ATTACK...." and tell him "you want a fight, let's fight"

I do not want DU rationale reason or intellectual dissertation blah blah blah about why this and why that. The why this and the why that is not working for me..

Hillary lovers
Hillary haters-just pull the lever and stfu.

I agree.

The people who are dividing the party are happy with Sanford and Christie.
The truth is, the majority are not actual democratic party people, but those against the democratic party

Why yes, yes it is. Using SC as example to bash the rest of us with is like holding up Pat Robertson and claiming all straight folks are like him.
Not sure what you expect. In 2008 primary Obama toured SC with a 'faith and family tour' featuring Donne 'we are at war with gays' McClurkin and a bunch of other hate preachers and singers. That's how he won Democrats there, by employing people so bigoted and hate filled and ignorant that the rest of the country is still disgusted by it. OFA people calmly told me that Obama 'had to use prove his religious standing using hate preachers in SC'.

will never get our act together. So busy micro analyzing that the big picture gets missed. For example; most of the responses to my OP.

So disheartening.
