"Republicans fear their base, Dems hate their base…" do we see this here?

[Rowdyboy]

74. Well, my health really sucks and if I'm lucky I'll be here to vote for whoever we nominate in 2016

Voting, bitching and moaning is about all I'm good for at this point. Here in Mississippi today party structure is virtually non-existent and, over the years (even when Dems were a serious force here) the party hierarchy was not welcoming or encouraging.

I pity my nieces and nephews for the world they will inherit, and I pity them even more if any Republican is elected President in 2016. The only minuscule glimmer of hope I see is that a future, less right-wing supreme court could reverse some of the horrifying decisions of the Roberts court and that hope will vanish in an instant if a Republican wins the presidency.

And, sorry, but I'm afraid people will be citing "piece of shit used car salesman" for a long time here. I didn't post in the thread-I just watched it and the follow-ups unfold like a slow motion train wreck. DU and its various cliques are often entertaining and always turn nasty but this meltdown was epic in proportion.

I have friends who are intellectually challenged who would resent your comparison. Personally Rahm reminds me of the slime trail a slug leaves when oozing across the back porch to try to get to the cats' food bowls-something noxious and nasty that you don't want to touch.
