You might get one or two posters who will play into your hands and allow you to post a dozen or so threads complaining that 'the leftists' are hypocrites, but you'll get nowhere near the level of base hatred that generally comes from the Cheney Democrats.

probably wouldn't understand this, but the rest of us are able to:

1. Disagree with someone without putting them "under a bus."
2. Not feel the need to make excuses when someone we generally like does something we disagree with.
3. Not twist every fucking thing imaginable into a grenade to use on DU to further divide people.
4. Not act like politics is an intra-party team sport.
5. Not start passive aggressive threads trying to mock other DUers when our "team" scores a point or their "team" fumbles.

Mon Jul 29, 2013, 08:33 PM
Jul 2013

I have heard many Senators voice the opinion that barring the most extreme of circumstance that the President should get his pick for those who work directly for him. Of course the compliment to this is that then the President must take responsibility for the actions of those he picks. Thus it is both a prerogative of Office and a burden upon the Presidency, and one to be lightly challenged by a member of the Senate.

I hate people like Baucus with a passion and thank god he is going. I accept Bernie as the conscious of the party and really like Warren. The point being that the ridiculous "all or nothing" attacks by some on DU are purposely divisive, particularly when coupled with artificial litmus tests.
