Reply #9: Woe is US! [View All]

Let's not generalize this.

First of all, the Republicans are NOT "united."

Second, Democrats have made clear they will NOT be as willing to accept the nomination of somebody like this to the USSC, and they need to pick their battles. I wish they wouldn't rubber-stamp Gonzales, either, but that's the game, apparently.

Third, "it doesn't look good guys" -- Democratic principles and stances on issues are still supported by the majority of voters. I'm not worried about that.

Fourth, "this election challenge makes us look like idiots" -- WRONG.

Fifth, what Kerry said does not mean "it was fair."

Sixth, it looks to me like we're not the ones having a melt-down. After all, we're having a lot of new visitors here in DU lately, such as yourself.
