When will the Democratic leadership learn?

[markpkessinger]

I heard Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) being interviewed a little while ago on MSNBC, taking the Democratic leadership to task for its handling of the Weiner scandal. Specifically, he said they "should have called for his resignation immediately" instead of "allowing it to drag out for weeks." And I can promise you, this is the spin we will hear on the matter for the next several days. When will the leadership of the Democratic Party wake up and realize that when you play the GOP's game -- no matter how well you think you're playing it -- it is still the GOP's game and one the GOP will win every time. The whole thing could have been a great opportunity to hammer the GOP on its hypocrisy (in light of David Vitter, and in light of the fact that Ensign served for months following the break of his scandal without similar calls for his resignation). Do you honestly think that by demanding (and ultimately getting) Weiner's resignation, that Democrats will win brownie points at the polls for upholding such "high moral and ethical standards?" Much was said of Weiner being a distraction. OK, so now the distraction is gone. Do you seriously believe that it will now be easier to work with a recalcitrant opposition party, merely because this so-called "distraction" is gone?

If I could, I would sue Pelosi, Wasserman-Schultz an every other Democratic politician that jumped on the "he must resign now" bandwagon for political malpractice.

1. They have learned. They are doing just what they

want to do. Before too long we will be a one party system.

2. You would have to sue many more than that...

4. As usual the Democrats permit the Republicans to lead them

around by the nose. Because the Republicans made noise the
Democrats appeased.


When the Republicans have a problem they seem to get the Media
to. understand they will handle the situation and shut down
the noise.

The Democrats have shown the Media over and over they can be
made to roll over. It is that simple. NO DISCIPLINE.
Every last Democrat seems to have to get in on the act.
Republicans let the Lseadership handl it.

The Puritans must do the shame and shun , shame and shun
then do their best to pjut that SCARLET LETTER ON THE CHEST,
