Why do so many DU'er praise Repubs when they get one thing right

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

and then villify Democrats if they even remotely veer from their agenda?

1. Expectations?

High and low.

2. If I didn't know better....

I'd say you were shocked! :-)

6. Nope. Just a bit perplexed by posts lauding people like

Lindsay Graham while villifying John Kerry.

9. so... nothing shocks you anymore

but does perplex you.

Sounds like a good compromise! ;-)

3. simple

praise the good, criticize the bad. that's how you encourage proper behavior. It is done to extremes? by some sure. but hey that's life.

7. I don't. Like I say the only good republican is

Hey! What am I saying. There ain't no good republicans! (Even dead they stink something awful.)

8. Yes. On a related note, and spokesperson for USPIRG (envt'l group)...

... this morning sort of praised Bush for getting this one right (regarding strengthened emissions standards on vehicles, I think).

Geez, you shouldn't even be throwing him a bone, lady! He only did it because an election is coming up, and you know it. You also know his environmental record has been horrendous! You should have said "While this move is welcome, this administration has nevertheless accumulated the worst environmental record in history..."

10. Maybe their parents didn't nurture them enough?

You know, something like they think of Democrats as their surrogate parents so they blow out of proportion any perceived transgression whereas they simply reach out for affection to anyone who gives them the slightest encouragement?

Just a thought.

12. seriously

Repukes are always worthless. They dont ever get anything right because its always for the wrong reasons.
