(11,949 posts)Nor do I attack natural allies such as Angus King unless I become aware of actions that ally has take that I feel deserves criticism(I hate the word attack in a political reference)
And if a MEMBER of the Democratic Party criticizes the party while working and battling within the party apparatus to make it better, they will receive my praise, even if I disagree with their goals. Because that is what a successful political party does. A group of generally like minded people fight like hell to reach a goal that none love, but all can agree on.
But when someone who became a member of my party when convenient and necessary to achieve their goal, and then leaves the party when the party is no long convenient starts throwing rocks at our party...well I might be inclined to attack.
Reminds me of the people who continually and loudly complain about their homeowners associations here in Florida. Everyone love to hear it an it makes them feel very popular. But if you ask them to run for the board and actually work to make the changes they espouse, they suddenly change the subject.
