Here are the rats that are fucking Democrats

105. Those wingnuts are "values oriented" too. I don't care much for their values, but

they do seem to win the day in some parts of the country.

I think running far to the left in wingnut enclaves simply ensures that the margin of victory for the wingnuts will be greater.

The fact that our candidate in KY obviously supported Obama, was a delegate, in fact, and yet ran from him didn't mean she was rejected for not being "progressive" enough. She was rejected because she came off as INSINCERE, a panderer. No one likes a LIAR, and she was pretty much lying.

She should have said "Yeah, I supported the President--I'm a DEMOCRAT, not a Republican, not a Libertarian, not a Romulan. That's how it works. I don't really 'get' why you're trying to play some kind of lame 'GOTCHA!' game in that regard. My opponent supported Bush, and McCain, and Romney--that is how politics works, so grab a clue, there, Skippy, and join the real world!"

What people rejected weren't her policies--it was her integrity (or lack thereof) that did her in.
Pity, because she would have been very effective, but she made a boneheaded calculation and paid for it by a hemorrhaging of support when she reached the finish line.
