some of use are still ANGRY about all the dog whistling that happened in the 2008 campaign, here we have an example.

It might be one thing to say "hey, Politics ain't no tea party" , but the fact is when people are attacked and attacked, then the same people will be wondering "Gee, why ain't no one standin up fer me now?" Because, ye who love Hillary's attack machine, when you attack everyone, including the people who want to keep the GOP out of power, then there is no one to stand up for you left, and the GOP will just quote a line from Bob Dylan:

"You say you never compromise
With the mystery tramp, but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And say do you want to make a deal?"

and it does not help that the centrist wing of the party has made so many deals that we might not have anything to hock anymore.. What is worse?, selling your soul, or realizing that you have no soul to sell anymore?
