First of all, I just don't know how long we all have to pretend to that something like a Democrat who loses a telephone number can be compared to a Republican President who loses a whole city. There is a difference between condemnation and discernment. We are supposed to discern competence from incompetence, lies from critiques, crooks from honest error. Discernment is not blaming.

I also have no clue why it would take an independent or moderate would have to run with this, because that's where the worst of what's happened in the last 25 years has festered really. People who won't take a stand and let themselves be bullied into the "government is the problem" mentality. Blanco's hiring of Kenyon today refelcts the problem with moderates precisely, they still don't get the influence of the corporate sector on government and that that influence is what is corrupting our country.

This is a time for rank and file Democrats to stand up and fight for the balanced government that we have really believed in all these years. Part of that will necessarily mean calling these Limbaugh Liars what they are, cheap labor, corrupt, crony conservatives.
