Imagine

Imagine that this is a republican administration.

Imagine the reaction to:

Drone policy

the NSA issues

the TPP and TTIP

the war on drugs and raids on Marijuana dispensaries

supporting Christian prayer at public meetings

add your own entry to this list.

It would be a far cry from the endless baseless defenses that we see day in and day out.

faced with undeniable evidence you deny it, dear.

I daresay I understand it far better than you do.

It was passing strange.

non sequitur.

You know nothing about the TPP. I've researched it and have been posting about it for months with a huge body of evidence that backs up my claims.

I did not call you a troll.

But God Damn dude---every fucking post of yours is an attack on this administration. I have a right wing Brother In Law who wakes up everyday ready to attack the Obama administration. Everyday.

There are those here who mimic that same behavior.

AND they are trolls.

you've called me a troll any number of times before and had those posts hidden.

And no dudette, not every post of mine is an attack on this administration.

How stupid or fucking dishonest would anyone have to be to say that this is an attack?

If you spent half the time focused on criticizing the gop, as you do being critical of Democrats.

Imagine the reaction and effect, if you were to engage Republicans, right-leaning Independents, and wavering Democrats, drawing their attention to:

The gop’s obstructionism

The gop’s lack of actual and workable policies

The gop’s outrageous policy positions

The gop’s outrageous candidates

The sins of gop’s financial backers

Add your own entry to this list of attacks on the gop.

It would be a far cry from the endless criticisms that we see day in and day out.

Castigating the team that you claim to support Democrats does nothing to win elections that can actually result in an end to all the things that you abhor.
