(19,926 posts)Yet another right wing idea/tactic. The less people that vote the better it is for the right wing. Thom Hartmann plays that quote and I can't remember who said it, but it was a right winger stating it as a plan.
Seriously, it's like Faux News and Karl Rove working together. The Popegate and the one where they claimed Bernie mistreated his wife when it clearly wasn't on the video (of course) and now the chair thing, that is classic Faux News stuff there.
And now they are more concerned with smearing their opponents than standing up for democracy. That's some old school Karl Rove stuff there.
Very eye-opening primary. They have really showed their true colors and I think they have gone so far that there cannot be unity. How do you unite with people like that? Would they unite with Republicans? It's the same degree of difference that needs to be overcome. Or maybe more for us to unite with the right wing of the Dem Party than for them to unite with the GOP. I mean they are what moderate Republicans used to be, Obama said that about himself. And DWS actually backs Republicans over Democrats!
