(47,803 posts)5. I hope so -- At least the WH would know what people are thinking...
Maybe something would filter through the haze of elitism that surrounds the WH and the Democratic poo bahs.

(53,475 posts)7. Your observation about blind obedience and defense of the administration is accurate.
Your question as to whether some of these defenders are in "the administration" is reasonable.

(30,481 posts)8. Are many of the dissenters here paid operatives for the GOP?

(600 posts)10. I do wonder if there are intentional disrupters

(45,693 posts)11. If they are paid to be here, then the admin/ whatever organization is really wasting their money.
More importantly, is it really out of the realm of possibility that some of us Democrats here on Democratic Underground support the Democratic Party and President Obama's Democratic Administration? Really?
