the 1-2%ers. They are still trying to obstruct Obamacare. And vote against UI and Veteran Benefits, and are continuing finding ways to suppress votes and women rights. GOPers are also happy to see so called Liberals at each other throats - just see the DU.

17. Just because they are on DU, does not mean they are any kind of Liberal.

It is the 3rd Way, DLC, New Democrats, people pretending, people without a clue, people that think that the (D) is all it takes, people that think the real political center is between conservative Democrats and the tea baggers, people that think that Democrats should be lock-step like the Republicans, purposeful disruptors, outright bullies...
If we we were all some kind of Liberals and/or Progressives here, there would not be anywhere near as much fighting. Disagreements, yes, fighting no.
We'd make more progress, if the tent weren't so packed damn full.

Their masters are telling them what to do and say, so we need to elect people that will do the will of the people the real masters.

Gays for all the bullying in Washington. What the hell are Republicans even doing in Congress other than creating roadblocks to any progress. It comes down to a Black Man in the White house, is really what its all about. They just can't stand it!

is equivalent to what a laser-light does for a cat. The powers-that-be have them focused on something that has no substance.

22. Republicans never got over the humiliation of Nixon and Watergate
Fri Mar 14, 2014, 01:40 PM
Mar 2014

It is forever their Waterloo moment in history. The clearly don't like that black mark in history attached to their brand. It is shameful, and embarassing.

The ONLY way to negate some of Watergate's impact, the ONLY way they can hold their head up and be able to say "Yeah but your guy...", is to actually create a "..but your guy" moment. They think Benghazi is that moment. They theink they have finally found something that they can use that is of equal humiliation and damaging to the Dem brand.

If they can make Benghazi a big enough deal, they can start putting Nixon behind them. Until then, there will always be a Nixon Dems can use as the low bar Republican standard.
