re: #189 Walter L. Newton

Since he was dutifully elected by a majority of the eligible voters, and it is his supporters who are the real metric, yes, if I saw some indication from the progressives here that they have something positive with what he is doing, then that would indicate to me that he is doing what he promised.

But as PT Barnum and others have proven over and over during the last few months, his supporters are not satisfied. And polling have shown that too. And as a conservative, what does that say to me?

I’d say as a conservative you shouldn’t judge the democratic party by conservative metrics. Democrats are a lot more likely to be fractious than conservatives, because we believe in going somewhere rather than staying put, and not everyone can agree on the destination.

Simply put, democrats are a lot like cats, and republicans are like dogs.
