(23,664 posts)1. I can relate to how he feels
I'm a Democrat and I'm pretty disgusted by the Democrat party these days.

(9,936 posts)2. "Democrat" Party?
Interesting to observe this Tom Delay-crafted use of a noun as an intentionally demeaning adjective finding its way to DU.
Jack Rabbit
(45,984 posts)3. This is the man who once stood up on the floor of the Senate
. . . and called Jesse Helms "obnoxious" to his face.

(223 posts)4. Simpson is a WY politician, not CO as labeled in this video
Coloradans have our own burdens to bear (Gardner, etc.), but Simpson is not one of them.
A more important factual error is Farron Cousins resorting to both-sides-do-it criticism of Democrats. Just. Not. True.
