29. How much is it the fault of Democrats either pretending or misreading the populace?

This phenomenon that even die hard traditional "family values" Republicans seemed to just fall into having no trouble at all accepting locker room talk from their President, and all his other bad behavours.

That we are the opposite. We fire anyone that dares to say a bad word. Almost immediatley out of the gate, Obama fires Van Jones for having the audacity to call Republicans "assholes"......because they acted like assholes by saying they'd make Obama a one term President. And it went on from there...to forcing out one of their strongest most popular Senators for making a crude pantomime years ago as a comic, and touching someones waist.

We risk making a joke out of our knee jerk reactions to anything that might be percieved in the smallest way by the most minority of special interests. The party greatly misread the country in general, and their appetite for forgiveness for crudeness or being impolite. And it has backfired. That "when they go low, we go high", sounded good in theory, but in real life, contemporary society post-social media, they realize, too late again, that the age of being nice and punishing your own party members for not being polite, is over. At least I hope so
