We should adjust the truth of the world to accommodate their hate filled world view? We've tried that and it hasn't been working. It's called the Third Way and as far as the Democratic party's well being goes, their path has been an unmitigated disaster for the country and the world.

Attacking Sanders along these lines would be ugly, but it would reflect the ugliness back on the attackers, not Sanders.

Notice all of the 'conservative' flack Donald Trump has been getting for his praise of Vladimir Putin?

Not so much.

Castro did transform the country, and just because our politicians hate him, doesn't mean regular Cubans hate him. That's why our plots to overthrow him always failed.

If you want every issue to be black and white, vote for Trump.

... be able to do so much damage. The GOP would be like a kid in a candy store ... it would be a feast ... an endless Christmas for them.
