and then go off on it like some flu ridden bloodhound on the train of a runaway convict.

I remember a time when DU actually had people had no problems criticizing when Democrats did something wrong.

Will Pitt, Plaid Adder, Crisis Papers. . .Hell, even the Top Ten did it with Lieberman, Miller and Nader.

But now. . .we all need to drink the kool-aid. D = good. . .even if they want to implement bad policy (going after MM dispensaries more than war criminals, not going after banksters), want to be Republican lite (ACA which was brought to us by an idea presented by Mitt Romney, reworking NCLB as Race to the Top) or continue bad policies (Gitmo, NSA snooping). R = bad.

Just line up for your lobotomy and stop thinking. A Democrat is in the White House.
