Right?
Terrify?
You can't even get these Doormats (a far better Name for them than Democrats) off of their backsides at all. Everyone is waiting for the mystical coming of HRC and her pixie dust express that will magically cure anything that's gone wrong since Billy Boy left the White House.
2014? Its just another election, and elections don't mean anything to these doormats anymore, as long as one candidate in one office, in one election can fix everything in January 2017 with just one wave of the wand.
I do declare that I cannot decide which makes me more sick at the heart or at the stomach. These Doormats, who are sheepish and bovine enough to allow this travesty to happen unencumbered by Logic or self-interest, or, on the other hand, the general delusion sweeping over a once stalwart political Party that tells them that one person in one office will be able to cure all that sickens and destroys America Democracy, and the poor and hopeless who cling to it for scours.
Doormat Democrats have learned NOTHING, and moreover, the Party of FDR, Truman, and Kennedy has not only forgotten how to fight, they have LOST THE GUTS to fight for anything or anyone. Instead they have been reduced to a sniveling lot of cowards, frantically reading the entrails of some political chicken, hoping for salvation from their own folly by the vision of the Blessed Lady of Our Anointed Candidate.

My Democratic Part is the Party of Robert Kennedy and Paul Wellstone. I know too that to win a fight, sometimes you have to start one.
I suppose I really am a minority. But I'd rather be a minority than a DOORMAT.
