I Have A Question For The Class...
How come, so many times, if we quote a Democratic Congressperson or Senator who disagrees with something Obama has done/is doing, we get shit for it?

I mean, as Democrats, we are allowed to support our Representatives and Senators, are we not?

Aren't our congress critters Democrats, too?

Just seems a tad Presidential-Centric, no?

:shrug:

1. see, we're not supposed to look further than WH press conferences for our information
At least to some, that is.

I personally love the fact that there's an uproar. About freaking time. Stockholm Syndrome, it would seem, has not settled in as hoped.

3. Cult of Personality
any group will have a percentage that will acquiesce to the leader no matter what the leader does. Yes lemmings come to mind.

4. Ya See... That's Why It's Hard To Take SOME Seriously...
SOME will defend their King against anything, or anyone.

And while in some ways that is admirable... the first thing WE did as a country, was get rid of Kings.

5. I know but this falls in the category of the true believer
king or no king. Hell, somebody told me today, a few in fact, that he is not my employee, and don't work for me. In a way they are correct, but not for the reasons they think.
