The Tugboat Theory
Just something to think about especially for all those that are unhappy with the DLC and/or other Democrats. When a tugboat goes out to help a large ship to port they do not go bow to bow head on or even ninty degree off at least not at first. What they do is go along side the ship and gradually get the ship to turn. Once the turning has begun they gradually move their stern farther and farther from the ship while pushing harder against the bow. Just saying.....

1. Do the tugboats ever pull in OPPOSITE directions????
You know like on pulling out of Iraq? I don't think so.

2. Tugboat is being operated by 13 Dems right now.
Good analogy, Toots.

3. Yeah, but that tugboat can't do squat if the barge in question
has already let out the anchor, and that's what the DLC is, a huge weight holding us back and dragging us down.
