        1. Hi Lilu. Sorry for the issues. This is the first time I have been able to get to comments in a long time. Please leave any comments / icons /emojis you want to. I think I solved the comment issue. Sometimes if you are a first time commenter the comments need to be approved for display. I have approved yours so they will be. The other thing is the system trips at 3 links and needs approval. But all good I love you being here. Hugs

  2. No. This is wrong.

    When we become cruel like this, we become them. I’m so exhausted with this sort of energy from media who are supposedly on our side. They’re only suppressing voting, and bringing politics into situations where people should treat each other as humans. We’re in a very bad spot right now, because these media-supposedly on our side-have portrayed Democrats as the same as the rest, no matter how obvious it is that most are not. So we first end up with moderate, establishment Dems, because people with money who are not rightwing nuts are also moderate, then we end up with the awful government we currently have, because not enough people bother to learn or to vote at all. So making everything political and being cruel to Dems may be fun for somebody, but it’s energy that just makes me want to go elsewhere and try to help people instead. I really hope I don’t see this here any more. Some days, it’s tough to scroll by and ignore these, but they wear me out.

    And no, I did not watch this awful video. The headline tells me what I need to know. If those words are not spoken, and someone is not abused in this video, then they shouldn’t put up an abusive headline.

    1. Hi Ali. This is not what you thought it was! As you said: And no, I did not watch this awful video. So all you know of the video is the clickbait title that Crystal Ball had nothing to do with!

      I disagree with your assessment of the video which the only thing that touched on Fetterman’s brain damage was when the host played a clip of Fetterman speaking complete nonsense blaming the democrats for making flying unsafe and other crazy stuff about the shut down. When asked about what was said, Crystal replied “her first thought was are you OK because it sounds like your brain is broken” and she continued with adding that we all know he did have brain damage from his stroke. It was not said in anger or malice. Crystal Ball is one of the most measured and knowledgeable commentators on the left who is willing to have a show where she goes head to head with a hard right person and she does other shows. She knows her facts and how to express them. She also is progressive like AOC.

      Ali you have a right to your opinion. But like mine it is not universally held by everyone.

      So we first end up with moderate, establishment Dems, because people with money who are not right wing nuts are also moderate, then we end up with the awful government we currently have, because not enough people bother to learn or to vote at all. You will find that more money can be raised with low amount individual donations than right leaning corporate sponsors. However it doesn’t come with the corporate perks. Everyone of the moderate democrats who voted to cave for nothing were corporate democrats who had no fight in them to help the people and they were either not running again or their races were the farthest away. That should tell you something! They were covering for the other corporate democrats. The reason the democrats caved is the republicans were about to end the filibuster on tRump’s orders. The corporate democrats were terrified of this because they have used that to keep progressive bills from passing that the public wants but the corporate world is totally against. Right now Schumer and the other ones deep in the pockets of the wealthy can say to the public they tried but did not have enough votes so it is the voters fault. That fails if the filibuster is gone.

      Plus you again are blaming the voter for the fault of the politician not getting their message out. If you run for a job that requires messaging then it is your job to do that messaging, not the ones you want to reach. Bernie and AOC have no trouble getting their message to the people, nor did Zohran Mamdani. It is not the job of over worked people struggling to survive, feed their families, have shelter that costs more than half their income, and very little free time to keep up with the party politics and the individual elected office holders. Most working people have very little leisure time and don’t choose to spend it doing online searches of what their congress person is doing. Congress critters get free mailings and have other opportunities to engage with the public. So many podcasts now cater to politicians that are watched / listened to by more people than the nightly network news.

      So making everything political and being cruel to Dems may be fun for somebody, but it’s energy that just makes me want to go elsewhere and try to help people instead. I really hope I don’t see this here any more. Some days, it’s tough to scroll by and ignore these, but they wear me out. I suggest rather than jump to conclusions you watch the video and the other ones I post. The country has moved left while the corporate Democratic Party has moved right. If they continue to pretend to be searching for a mythical large center that doesn’t exist anymore than more and more young people will leave the party or simply stop voting because as you said, they see the parties as the same, working for corporations and the upper incomes rather than for the people. Right now the image that the democrats are portraying is one of a party paid to lose.

      The headline tells me what I need to know. If those words are not spoken, and someone is not abused in this video, then they shouldn’t put up an abusive headline. Welcome to the modern world of trying to get more views. I don’t like clickbait titles or headlines either. But you can’t judge a book by the cover can you? For far too long headlines like so-and-so destroys person XX have been common. It is done in print media, TV news media, and sadly by online creators desperately trying to get people to just click on their stuff or watch some of their videos so they can make a dollar or have higher viewer counts. Right wing media and Fox entertainment media are the worst at it. Remember a lot of people just read the headlines and don’t read / watch the content. It is why I stopped watching Brian Taylor Cohen and the Midas Touch because even though their content was good with facts they were very over the top on their titles or adjective crazy in their presentations. Not mean but like they were doing color commentary on a wrestling match. That is why I like to watch and post The Majority Report clips. But the days of Walter Cronkite’s just the facts with no bias thrown in is long gone.

      Which leads me to the last point I want to make. I am very tired of the right / republicans being able to say and do what every they want and the left / democrats held to a much higher standard. We are supposed to stand there and take it with no reply in kind. We are to be the rights punching bags. I watched Pam Bondi insult, mock, and ridicule Dick Durbin the senior democrat on the committee during a hearing. He let her do it every time. He never corrected her, he let her interrupt him, and he in the end just meekly said “I will take that as you won’t answer the question”.

      Everyone who saw that came away realizing how weak and unable to meet the moment the democrats are. Dick Durbin and Schumer are stuck in the 1980s. Schumer has been in office since he was 23 years old. They still believe in the fight on the floor and have supper together later. That is not reality today. When they go low we need to hit them just as hard! The public sees the democrats getting stepped on and walked all over and they don’t want to vote for that. Blow matched with reply blow. They are bullies getting away with it because the bullied turn the other cheek. They won’t stop until they get some of the same. Look at the respect Jasmine Crockett got for standing up to Marge Greene. That is just reality. The ones getting the grassroots support and donations are the ones who are loud and vocal taking the fight to the republicans for the sake of the public. Hugs

      1. (WP is not giving me italics or bold options today. So, I’m putting yours in quotations, and have put slashes around what I want to emphasize.)

        Aside from not being what I wrote about, which is /that if people do not participate we will continue to get moderate Dems because people with money are moderates/ but as to what you wrote instead:

        “You will find that more money can be raised with low amount individual donations than right leaning corporate sponsors. However it doesn’t come with the corporate perks.”

        Then why don’t you, and these people with these platforms who continue to spout as they do, make those small donations, hold drives for small donations, and get better people elected?

        This is the problem with this sort of propaganda. They exist to keep the status quo. They outrage good people on our side, and suppress candidacies and voters. As I am, you too are entitled to your opinions. But these media are not news, and truly are not credible. One single example: when was the last time they outlined how government actually works? Or, when was the last time they looked at numbers and really thought about which number is higher and which number is lower? They don’t. And they discourage their listeners to not check into anything, either. Only to be outraged.

        Now which political side does that sound like?

        And back to what really slapped me in the face:People should not tell other people that their brains are broken during what’s supposed to be a professional interview. They just shouldn’t.

        =====

        Scottie, as you know, I’ve been politically active since I became an adult in the late 1970s. I know who the people are whose propaganda videos you post here. I remember how they worked when they began, and when they switched from being on our side to being professional voter suppressors. Try following the money that reaches them sometime, and try looking at their work as a whole. If they make you feel better and more ready to tackle the US situation, then by all means, do not stop listening to them. I’d just say remember to question everything. People find a source who feeds their spirits, then suddenly nobody else is right, and nobody has to do anything because it’s all “their” faults.

        As to the legislators you mention, remember the districts who send them to our legislature (bless all those voters!) Those two, and many others you don’t cover because of who MR says they take money from, get our message out. It’s up to each of us to receive the messages we need to make sure we get a government that will do our work. This is not opinion. It is a fact. It’s also how the country is supposed to work, and that’s also a fact. People getting busy and thinking they’re doing their duty by listening to the radio on their commutes but not staying involved with our government is who got us where we are today, and also brought about the business of “liberal” voter suppression.

        And that’s what I’ve got about this. Same as my original, with a little addenda. I will continue to discuss only what I’ve written within its full context and applied to the original subject; BuT I will not discuss other points. We do that every time, then end up with a three day discussion that never acknowledges my original point that these sources are not news, and simply exist to discourage and suppress voters from making things better.

    2. Oh Ali. One thing I mean to comment on and got too wrapped up in what I was saying. I am sorry you are tired and discouraged. That the news or headlines get to you. I don’t want that. Sadly the upper income does. The right / wealthy want to keep you down. The fact is there is a lot of things people really need to know about what is going on and a lot of distortions / lies / and misinformation being pushed also. That is deliberate by nations / groups that want the US to fall or be damaged. Most people don’t have the time or even ability to sort it all out. But the headlines do attract attention and that is a way to reach people to get the message out. Most young people today are more willing to read something if the title excites their interest. That requires over the top language to peak the interest of the young people. Hugs

      1. Well, I understand, and I appreciate that. But I don’t want to engage on this if you won’t stick to what I comment and my own trouble with this sort of post. My problem with this one is, if it is not awful and inhuman/inhumane as the headline would lead one to believe, they should put a professional headline.
        MR and this other stuff are not news. They are opinion. And, sorry, they are in the business to suppress the vote so that nothing ever gets any better.

        1. Hi Ali. I do wish to explore this with you if you will and it won’t cause you harm. Because I feel it is a shear point going on in our country / party that really I would like to understand. I am willing to meet you halfway in that while I learn from you will you be ok with me giving my view point / opinion? I value you like a Ron’s family member who all loved each other even though after their mother died I felt they couldn’t agree on a lunch menu. But I do hope family can disagree and learn from each other.

          Your comment was on the title and the impression you got from that. But in truth your comment conveyed more than that. And we can only talk about that if you want but I think we can talk about so much more.

          We both have to acknowledge we have different up brings and live in different areas which color our views. And I am willing to engage with you on both your original feeling / take on the video only if you desire, but I would also like to explore the deeper meaning of why you were triggered by the headline so much you wouldn’t even watch it. My own thought is that times and politics has changed in a way that you see as vulgar and unseemly. Below the point good people should watch or take seriously. But that is me putting words in your mouth and I could be very wrong.

          And Ali I believe and completely accept you have a life experience and country area that has different views / morals / experience from other areas. I can vouch that time moves faster in more urban environments than rural ones. Your views, your life experiences in your communities are valid but also are not the experiences in other communities.

          One disagreement I have with you is that TMR is not news. They provide more news country wide than the local channels I watch which in my area is heavily skewed tRump republican. Yes TMR give their opinion. But so does every Sunday news show I watch on broadcast TV. I watch / record three shows every Sunday. I am often stunned and sometimes outraged at the bias of the hosts. They let republicans from congress lie and go on with little to no interruption and very little push back. After tRump sued all networks it is really rare they say a negative word against him personally.

          Yet a democrat from congress gets grilled, interrupted, and fact checked / argued back against. I see this every weekend and as I follow the news I see how the republicans are allowed to lie / distort the narrative to make it seem they are correct and the democrats clueless. Yet the Democratic Party can not field a young person with strength to argue back forcefully. It is mostly older senior democrats who are soft-spoken while not standing up to the moderators. It really presents a clear message to the public. The republicans are younger and more forceful / vibrant while the democrats are old and weak.

          Also your idea that TMR is to suppress the vote is contrasted to the many democratic candidates they have had on, and their promotion of those candidates. They do push progressive candidates and congress people. They have drives for them. They push fundraisers and information for them. They are just pushing for the left candidates rather than the corporate ones.

          But I feel your complaint is they are against the corporate democrat establishment. Well so am I. And I have been long before I learned of TMR. And I think that is one thing we can talk about.

          If I understand what your feeling is you think criticizing and working against the current party leadership is depressing the vote. I don’t see that and in fact I would point to the big wins this last election where every candidate did not wish to have the party leadership campaign for them. In fact they ran against the party establishment talking points. Graham Platner in Maine has made a huge following running on not supporting Chuck Schumer for speaker among other things. That caused Schumer to push hard to get Mills to enter the race. A woman who will be 79 when sworn in to congress if she wins in a time when the younger people want the older people who do not understand their needs out of office.

          To me that is the point. The democratic leadership is only interested in protecting themselves and their positions instead of representing the needs or even understanding the desires of the majority of the party.

          I do value your opinion and hope you will respond to what I wrote. I am not angry or anything. I am just having a discussion on the differences in our party and how it is viewed.

          Having written / said that. I know you do not like dissent and feel upset when people disagree. I do not wish to cause you any harm. The very last thing I want. But again I do hope by sharing our different views we can bridge a gap in the Democratic Party. As always best wishes and warmest hugs. Scottie

          1. Well, Scottie, and what I get from what I read above is that I use too many words, and lose you before the end of my comments. We can’t hold a discussion about this, unless what we say is what we discuss. In other words (here I go again!) I phrase things in ways that make you feel other than what I’m going for. And it does seem that I can’t condense my stuff well enough to keep you with what I’m really saying.
            So likely we agree to disagree, as we usually do, and one of these days I’ll probably not be able to just scroll by what I don’t like, and I’ll have to spout again. Then all you’ll have to to is offer me a cup of tea, because our friendship is firm.

            1. Hi Ali. Sorry for the delay. This is the first time I have had more than an hour here or a few 30 minute stints between other things I have to do right now to keep Ron working on the must do project. Things went south again and he had to take the floor back up because he dropped a needed piece down the drain pipe hole. Si I do breakfast, have a quick break, do lunch, then sit to rest doing cartoons / memes / 30 minutes later wash dishes which takes me two to four hours and lots of medications, then rest as he naps, he gets up I make supper, clean up, and fall exhausted into bed. I had been up maybe 12 hours with a hit here and there on the computer. Today I have more time because I can’t do the dishes as he has the water off until late so it will double the time needed tomorrow. But enough with my issues. But during the time I am at the computer and off it I am listening to podcasts from different providers who cover news. So I get it most of my awake time

              Ali you are not losing me. I try to take your comment line by line and paragraph in its entirety. And yes we have an age divide along with a regional divide. I got into political stuff back in the 1980s so a bit later than you. If I understand correctly we come from different fractions of the party and we differ on tactics. We simply both have issues with what the other side wants to say and what the other side wants to do to change how things are. Sometimes I think that things would be better if we had a multi party system like other advanced countries. But we are stuck with a Republican Party that is very focused and driven on regressive polices taking the country back a century or more to the past and walk lock step to do it. The Democratic Party is a large tent of everyone who doesn’t want a country locked in the regressive past but differ on what advancements / rights should be kept or how fast that growth should be.

              Here is what I suggest we do. Rather than me writing more and more on what I think is the subject we are talking about, how about I stop here. Then give you time to reply. If I have the subject correct we can discuss it. If I misunderstand you can help me see the real issue and neither will have wasted time replying to things not germane to the discussion. We both commented below this. I will look them over but not respond but would ask you to also review them so that if there is something I need to reply to I can do so. I find conversations to be education if I take as a chance to learn new things or have a deeper reason to believe what I do. After all if someone disagrees with me I must reseach what they are saying, so I learn more myself. Hugs

              1. No worries on the delay. I told you I’d forgotten about it. But, OK:
                My primary points are that the particular broadcasters you post are vote suppressors. Next, that although none of us is going to get all we want, Dems are always the better vote, because at least we the people can control them, if only we will.
                On those points I won’t be moved, so there isn’t sense in arguing over them. But I won’t comment negatively on those posts anymore. Some of them just really piss me off because I’ve known who they are since they showed up on the scene. But beyond that they are vote suppressors I will not speak.
                I appreciate that you took precious time to answer this, when it’s so old. But I guess the time helped me to get my snark condensed, anyway! 😀 Easier to get. Please don’t worry about this anymore. We know where we stand, and we can definitely co-exist!

                1. Hi Ali. While I am not happy you seem to think a discussion will give no information that can influence your opinion, I will say you wrote something that you gave no evidence of and on the first video you never watched due to distaste on the title. “My primary points are that the particular broadcasters you post are vote suppressors.” Show me how please. See my view is the party is diverse but the more liberal progressive left has grown while the party leadership and the small minority mythical center is diminishing / getting slimmer every year yet party leadership tries to silence the left to hold on to their dying / leans corporate magic sweet spot that leans slightly right. My evidence is how hard Pelosi tried to marginalize AOC and then ostracize the squad who had much larger followings in the voting public than most of the democrats. Even when the super critical oversight committee minority leadership position came open, a position that is important for criticizing and speaking out against the opposition Pelosi worked hard to deny younger AOC who has great communication skills the position to instead push for a 73 year old man with throat cancer who couldn’t speak and died about 7 to 8 months later. Wasted opportunity done just to shore up the corporate democrats power for Pelosi’s gain. The Democratic Party has become the aged party of gentrification. The Republican Party learned their lesson after McCain. They let the younger voters purge the upper aged to get the representation back down to the 45-65 range with much younger people getting support to run for first terms to build seniority. That way they have strong driven voices with energy to speak out and convince the younger voter to vote for their party and the Democratic Party has people who can’t get their voices to stay steady leading the way making it hard for the party to compete in messaging.

                  Again even though you say you won’t be moved and supply no evidence of what you write I am going to address it and you can read it or not but I hope you will. “Next, that although none of us is going to get all we want, Dems are always the better vote, because at least we the people can control them, if only we will.” What you wrote is completely destroyed by two current elections. The one for senate in Maine and the race for Mayor of New York City. Please show me on the vote blue no matter who chart is Chuck Schumer’s endorsement of Zohran Mamdani? Even tRump is a supporter right now of him far more than the leader of his own party. Please tell me why when Graham Platner was running with huge energy and enthusiastic support drawing overflow crowds with small money donations energizing again the younger voters, did Schumer and Gilliland work hard to bring in 77 year old Janet Mills who would be the oldest freshman in history of the party and will gain no seniority as she claims she will serve only one term. Mills only reason to be there is to save the older aged members of the party in congress and help keep the corporate nature of the party leadership. That is if she wins and again she doesn’t have the support, Platner does. Plus sadly even though she said she was getting no help from the party PACS were opened for her from the party the day after she announced. See again the party elders want to protect their age and status regardless if it costs the election or the future of the part. The party should stay out of primaries to let the voters pick their choice not the party picking the candidate to force on the voters. That is part one of addressing what you wrote.

                  “… because at least we the people can control them, if only we will.” Sadly I disagree with this one and can show evidence. Stricter gun laws were once at nearly 80% and now are 56% want stricter laws; 31% kept as they are now. Yet our party hides on pushing for them. Where is the legalization of weed? Nearly two-thirds of US voters (65 percent) “think that legalizing marijuana nationally is a good idea,” according to nationwide survey data compiled by Emerson College Polling. However the younger members of the party couldn’t move Biden and those who grew up hearing the nonsense reefer madness talk and the hate against it in the 1960s / 70s. Some thoughts on healthcare, About 7 in 10 Americans say health insurance companies have too much health policy influence, According to a Gallup survey released Monday, 62 percent of Americans now say that the federal government should ensure that all Americans have coverage, versus 36 percent who say it should not. Support is highest among Democrats, with 90 percent approving of the idea, though support has risen in the past decade among independents and Republicans, among whom support is currently at 65 percent and 32 percent. Yet Obama with a lock on congress gave away the public option of the ACA in the first meeting with Republicans in support of the insurance companies. So I disagree the party listens to the people, they listen to their donors. I think that Schumer ended the shut down because republicans were going to get rid of the filibuster, which both parties use to hide behind to protect corporations / wealthy instead of doing what the constituents want them to do. They can say own well we tried too bad that filibuster stopped us. Yet it is a made up rule that can be and has been changed to suit the needs and whims of the leadership. That last part is important, the needs and whims of the leadership, not the people.

                  Still even though I think there are major issues with the Democratic Party I vote for the democratic candidate over the republican ones in general elections. But in primaries the idea is to vote for the person who best represents your / my ideas / opinions. However as I showed above the party is far too concerned with loading the dice and supporting the primary candidate that supports the corporate aged party structure over the wishes of the younger public.

                  I appreciate that you took precious time to answer this, when it’s so old. But I guess the time helped me to get my snark condensed, anyway! 😀 Easier to get. Please don’t worry about this anymore. We know where we stand, and we can definitely co-exist! But I won’t comment negatively on those posts anymore.

                  Ali, please don’t do that and stifle your opinions and thoughts. Please speak your mind. If I did not value your input I wouldn’t have made the choice to have you as an author. The last thing I need / want is an echo chamber. Friends do disagree without hurting feelings. Heck Randy’s parents are Fox watching maga and I still talk with them.

                  Ali I have hundreds of saved tabs of older comments and as soon as I can find the time and energy to stay at the computer and deal with them I plan to reply to each one. When I was first put in a wheelchair for 2.5 years in the mid 1990s for the first time, my world shrank to the walls of our home. I couldn’t leave until Ron got home to help me. Computers and message boards were just getting started and my broken old computer and those boards became my only social interactions all day long as we did not even have a TV. So I feel the comments are conversations with different people. I want to engage with them, enjoy the discussions. Sadly right now as you know I am so limited. When Ron leaves for Texas I should have time to do a video to explain.

                  But to the last I don’t think I do understand your issues. You made claims not backed up about suppressing the vote, you said in another comment that the podcasts / videos I post not news but opinion, yet you post Trae and Mark plus cartoonist Jones? Are they not also just giving their opinions? Wow this got long, far longer than I expected. I got up at 4:30 to catch up so no interruptions from Ron. But he is up now so I must go get breakfast for him. Hugs.

                  1. First of all, Scottie, it’s a bit ironical for me to put this on Scottie’s Playtime of all places, but No Means No. I already gave this the time it had coming.

                    I neither have time nor spirit to try to discuss with someone who is going to pick apart what I write, and take it in a tangent that is not on point. That’s what tends to happen in our discussions here about this subject. I understand that you like who and what you like for receiving news and opinion, and that’s fine. I said I was not going to complain about these posts anymore, and I won’t. They will still tick me off, but that’s my thing. We don’t have to agree on everything to be friends; we agree on the important points of humane treatment of our fellow travellers.

                    I will engage on the one point on which you didn’t take us in a direction we were not discussing (as lawyers would say, “facts not in evidence.”) I say they are vote suppressors specifically because they, without fail, begin attacking Democrats as if all Democrats are the same person, just as they seem to be getting some momentum and gaining voters. Yes, Democrats may use money that we (you, I, others) could consider tainted, but that’s the system as long as we the people continue to stay uninvolved.

                    These broadcasters (they used to write) do not ever include info regarding how people can change things by doing more than voting or not voting. They simply point out human flaws in human beings using the most outraging terms they can, then discourage people from supporting and voting for the very candidates who could and would have prevented the very situation in which we find ourselves, If We The People Direct Them To Do So. It’s not the first time. They’ve been doing it since before GW didn’t win his election but got inaugurated through a court judgment in his campaign’s favor.

                    I have an appointment as well, temps are below 20 degrees and Ollie is outside, so I have to go. I covered the main point-my point of complaint. I know what I see, hear, and read. I know the history. It cannot be changed by picking up more talking points that may or may not be pertinent but about which I was not complaining. I stayed on point with my point, and elaborated on it for understanding. It is what it is.

                    I hope you and Ron get a nice lunch today, maybe after your appointment!🌞

      2. Well, Scottie, do you really want to engage with someone who thinks it’s OK to tell someone else that their brain is broken?

        IOW, if that was said or not, (to, as it happens, a stroke victim with PTSD and likely TBI, and who also happened to fall and be admitted to the hospital only days ago, but likely not till after the video was put together,) what do you say to someone who thinks it’s cool to say that to someone else in a professional setting, as opposed to the playground?

        Seriously.

  3. “Which leads me to the last point I want to make. I am very tired of the right / republicans being able to say and do what every they want and the left / democrats held to a much higher standard. We are supposed to stand there and take it with no reply in kind. We are to be the rights punching bags. I watched Pam Bondi insult, mock, and ridicule Dick Durbin the senior democrat on the committee during a hearing. He let her do it every time. He never corrected her, he let her interrupt him, and he in the end just meekly said ‘I will take that as you won’t answer the question’.”

    (Your idea of meek and mine likely differ.) So we’re supposed to jump on Durbin because he’s a Dem, with no power to keep his time should the majority decide he’s to yield to someone else; for being professional, rather than jumping on Bondi for obvious non-professional and possibly unlawful behavior?

    How many times does MR, et al., and their listeners call our Republican legislators to tell them to get off their duffs, do we the people’s work, and insist that this administration answer for their actions no matter who is asking the questions? How many times do you all insist your Republican legislators do the work you feel the Dems are so woefully ill-equipped to handle?

    And how many times do these media encourage their listeners/viewers to do just that?

    And that’s what I dislike about this. It’s always the Dems’s faults with this stuff. There could be one single elected Democrat in all of DC, and it would still be their fault for everything they allow the Republicans to do.

    Nuts.
