20. What it comes down to is the Republicans stick up for each other
no matter what but the Democrats toss their own under the bus, always.

2.  I will be waiting for the dem onslaught on the rethugs now to happen and soon on
I wish all the wimps good luck in their Wiener-free congress. I hope to see what their so-called messaging will look like and how strong they will be in standing up to the overlords - the rethugs. I have no regard for the wimpy ass party!

8. It takes more strength to admonish one of your own than to cover up for and protect them

12. Uhm
It is a bit more complex than that.

The strength we show is the willingness to shred our own party platform and ignore the will of the people and refuse to stand up to what was the most regressive and obstructionist minority party in American Congressional history (Republicans 2008-2010, obviously).

The strength we showed was that we would continually throw out any progressive or drive them from the cabinet or congress whenever any of our opposition complained or squeeled about them.

Being a clucking, moralizing, scold, and squeeling out mea culpas and cries against anyone that may have had some kind of non-sexual sex crime isn't courage. If crying out against supposed allies in public is a virtue I suppose the rats that named names during the McCarthy period are saints.

Seriously there is no courage nor conviction there. There is fear. Fear of being associated with someone that texted a few scantily clad photographs.

19. What does it take to 'admonish' war criminals and fraudulent
banksters, and lying SC Justices??

Contrary to what you say, it is EASY to attack one's own, it takes real courage to go after the criminals and liar who have taken this country down.

They KNOW there will be no price, or at least they think they do, for this. So, please explain where courage comes into caving to Andrew Breitbart?

17. More Like Punk-Ass Democrats!
Why so many claim membership in the party of FDR and Harry Truman is beyond me. They are worthless and weak. That is NOT what my party is about.

If they want to drive somebody out of the party, try Ben Nelson, Max Baucus, Bart Stupak...

23. If they are doing that, it is becuase they are 'paying him back'
For resigning. He did what they wanted, so they now are nice to him. They are not saying it for you, but saying that he did what he was told. It was all about control.

If what you say is true, then it proves they never cared about what he might have done, but just wanted to get rid of him. And have him do what they say he has to do.
:shrug:

It is just more control stuff.
