Democrats accept blame when they are at fault.
I made a poor choice of paint colors when repainting our office. My co-workers were ribbing me by asking, "Now who chose this color?". My response was, "I confess I made a mistake. I'm a Democrat and I don't have any trouble admitting when I am wrong. It's the other side that can't seem to do that."

They laughed so hard despite the fact that they are all Republicans.

5. Let's spend more time on that than Election Fraud, War Fraud, Tax Fraud
Democrats experience life, Republicans have Agendas and one is always being Right.

4. A form of mental illness?
Just think what this means for relations between family members.

6. An illustration here
I was 12 years old when President Kennedy was elected. I absolutely worshipped him. I would watch his Press Conferences after school. I didn't understand much of them but still remember how I admired his brilliance and good nature with the tough Press Corps. He was so very articulate with such a wonderful vocabulary. Oh, I digress. Sorry.

Back to my post, I remember reading in the U.S. News and World Report an article about the Bay of Pigs. President Kennedy was asked about it. He acknowledged how badly it had gone and how he took complete responsibility for it. I was so stricken by this that I still remember it and even where I was when I read it (sitting beside the stack of magazines in my grandparents' living room).

To paraphrase Lloyd Bentsen, I remember President Kennedy. He was a friend of mine. Junior is no more like him than was Dan Quayle.

7. I hate to say it but
We accept blame when we're NOT at fault too.
