And yes, the use of the term HAS been made clear. Hopefully you will accept that fact.

You seem to be very impressed with what 'baggers' are up to. They are irrelevant and will disappear from politics simply because of their stupidity and extremism like all other extremists have in the past. Why YOU are so impressed them is beyond me.

I focus on who we need running this country and what the American overwhelmingly support, which happily turns out to be Democratic Policies.

You go right on focusing on baggers and right wingers if that is what you want to do, I will focus on good Democrats who need our support to win elections and then work to implement Democratic Policies and to fight to protect Democratic policies which is what people across the political spectrum want. The ramblings of extremists only HELPS Democrats.
