(2,720 posts)And believe it or not, I remember back in 2006, there being calls on the D.U. to shut down the government if Bush didn't immediately do everything the Democrats wanted. Just like the Tea Party tried to do to President Obama.
I remember this because I remember telling those D.U.ers that such an act would absolutely destroy the Democratic brand and ruin the massive wave election that we were due to have in 2006 and 2008. Much as the Republican brand has been harmed due to Tea Party antics.
Those people are still around today - having tantrums about Democrats, for not doing some other stupid act of gesture politics.
So it goes both ways.
The difference is that GOP lunatics are running the Republican show. Democratic lunatics rant ineffectually on websites.
