...needs to understand that this is an effin war with the bat-shit crazy right, and whenever he chooses to attack someone like Nancy Pelosi - one of the good 'guys' - he's providing aid and comfort to the enemy. Sure the question of bought and paid for politicians should be addressed, but the way the question should be put to someone that would actually be willing to change things is, just that - a question like... 'How do we go about changing this mess and getting the money out?'...not ambushing her just to appease conservative critics that says he goes easy on Democrats. I mean, what's the point? No matter what he does the Wingnuts will still hate him - and never be part of his audience anyway. Comeon Jon, it's time you got back to calling dicks, dicks, and not worrying about playing to conservatives that only pay attention when you criticize him.
