(36,392 posts)I don't usually rec the posts by Will or Manny, though I am on their side in the Great Debate. Will's infamous name-calling post was beyond the pale and completely useless, and probably warranted a suspension. But this needs to be said.
The president and the party won a landslide in 2008 by conjuring up an image of the Repukes as enemies of the country and of its citizens. Ever since that landslide they have been mumbling, dissembling, cowering, appeasing, floating trail balloons on Chained CPI, asking for fast track authority to pass TPP, praising fracking, trying to end public education, passing Heritage Care...and losing. How can the Fan Club not put these two things together?
You want unity? Fine, get on board with a $15 minimum wage, an end to fracking, an end to torture, and prosecution of the war criminals and economic terrorists from the Bush era. It will be good for the country and even better for the party.
