re: #98 Athens Runaway

We all know MoveOn ran the crappy Petraeus ad. So what? It doesn’t reflect the thinking of Obama or a significant number of congressional dems. Indeed, at the time, most Dems denounced the ad in no uncertain terms.

As for congressional gopers, it’s certainly no stretch to say that they are beholden to tea partiers and fat radio/TV talking heads. Indeed, they are so afraid of these groups that they are virtually incapable of criticizing them in any way.

Bottom line: Dems have marginalized their whack jobs; the GOP now embraces theirs. Big difference.
