Dems are always flopping over backwards after making factual statements about slimeball Repukes. It is this feeling of false guilt (why I have no idea) that washes over them or for some fear and panic that the M$M will flay them in the public eye. So they backtrack and apologize, because the M$M makes them. If you want face time in America, you have to appease the M$M and that means working against a system built for the BFEE.

It has pretty much always been that way and how I wish it was not so.
