“Things aren’t getting better; they’re getting worse. 
The White House is completely disconnected from reality. It’s like they’re just making it up as they go along. The reality is that we’re losing in Iraq.”
—Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Nebr., quoted from U.S. News & World Report
Republicans are free to wander, unlike
Democrats, who have a closed shop, strictly
enforced.
RSF, this is another of your responses made without providing anything to back it up. That’s not surprising, because it’s fallacious.
It’s as though Republicans exist in another dimension where facts and truth have been dispensed with by common agreement.
How do you explain Sen. Harry Reid, who’s not only a Democrat in good standing but got elected to lead Senate Democrats? He’s unapologetically pro life.
How do you explain Dennis Kucinich, who unlike most Democrats running for president last year was emphatcally opposed to the Iraq war, before the invasion and ever since. While everyone else was saying we have to stay the course, he said, “Elect me and we’re out of there,” as quickly as possible, consistent with the safety of our forces and our allies.”
No one has drummed either of these Democrats out of the party or censured them, or anything else.
I could go on, but I think you knew better before you wrote that.
It seems to me in many political battles, the Democrats stick together more as a block. The talk is often about “peeling off” some Republicans to shift a balance. I don’t see many Democrats coming out in support of the War on terror. In the judicial nominations, I didn’t hear about many Democrats coming out in support of the nominees.
