(135,425 posts)There IS a distinction there, but you like to ignore those nuances and draw everything like a Charlie Brown cartoon--simple lines, few details.
You are the one who--without fail--will always compare George favorably to Obama. It's almost a signature move with you. Pardon me for noticing it. It's not "garbage" or "utter crap"--it's what you do, and you just did it in that post upthread.
You also try like hell to create a divisive atmosphere between POTUS and EW, but you seem to forget this rather key endorsement. That kind of adversarial thing is childish, yet you keep doing it. And people who are not politically savvy buy off on your BS.
Similarly, you love to craft these overwrought OPs that paint Hillary--or any Clinton--as some kind of evildoer, and EW as the Saint to the Clinton Sinners. Again, cartoon characterizations, that completely ignore the personal friendships and pragmatic relationships that exist between these individuals, all of whom are members of the DEMOCRATIC Party.
You display a complete lack of mature nuance when you compare the advise and consent role of the Senate with regard to a TREATY, which is a binding agreement entered into by our nation and which ties us to other nations on our honor for many decades at a minimum, with the right of a President to choose his own advisors for the duration of his term. These are entirely different decisions, made on a completely different plane of thought. The Senate doesn't have to like a Presidential pick (John Ashcroft, a shitload of the Supremes, for example), they simply have to be vetted for essential competence and an absence of conflicts of interest.
But there you go again, drawing with the Charlie Brown pencil! Why make DU a place where Democrats gather to support one another, when you can set to work playing Divide and Conquer Manny? You just can't help yourself, you just HAVE to snark and be snide, or come right out and be blatantly hurtful--you just can't seem to help yourself. It's as though you can't ever build up, you always tear down, divide, and find fault. And you don't let accuracy get in the way of your broad brush characterizations, either.
But hey, like I said, pardon me for noticing.
