243. Don't hold your breath -- they are frozen in a state of righteousness

which is why they selectively forget about where this debate started -- with silly claims he'd never ever propose it, and then onto moving the goal post with the "chess" etc, BS after he did.

Given that he's explicitly expressed a "willingness" to do exactly what he's proposed, I suppose that too is part of the "Grand Bluff", as opposed to just rank lying on his part for which no diminishment of him occurs.

That would simply mean that they've adopted the "the ends justify the means" rationale behind all the profuse lying and rightwingnut liars that have elevated it to an art form in the last few decades.

And all the stress, tension, and discord he's created in the lefty masses over this is justified on the same basis no doubt. Imagine where we'd be if he started a "Just say no!" to such campaign from his bully pulpit instead.

Let's face it -- those you wrote about are the functional lefty equivalents of the Bushbots they likely bashed for eight years on the same grounds. One doesn't need to be an ODS-sufferer or Obama-hater to criticize him over his words or deeds.
