1. It's hard to hurt those guys
And easy to hurt people close at hand.

Most people (myself included) do the easy thing.

2. I personally believe that politicians are nothing more than the incarnation of their electorates...
... (literally).

Hence, I believe that the enemy is *us*. We have to overcome *ourselves* in order to advance.

I fully recognize this view is in the extreme minority.

I wouldn't say so.

3. Thanks. Not forgotten-just trying to forget a bit in order to gather strength for what lies ahead.

4. What about those who enable our enemies?
You know, the people who can not be bothered to exercise their DUTY to hold criminals and traitors responsible for their actions? The people who need to be called to task for dereliction of Constitutional duty if not aiding and abetting? Are they not our enemies too?

Or do you, like the GOP, define "enemy" to mean only people outside the party and never, ever party insiders and leaders?

11. That point being....
That we must not hold our elected representatives to the fire for not doing what they should be doing? That we should be good little party members and blindly loyal to the Inner Circle and Big Brother? What point?

6. Exactly - we've seen how it worked out for us in the past. Not good for America or Democrats.
