re: #27 EPR-radar

The outrage about the ad is much ado about nothing. I expect this crap fake outrage from the likes of the GOP, but it is disappointing that some centrists and Democrats are running scared on this topic.

Democrats as a party still want to play by gentlemen’s rule against an opposition that sees fighting dirty as the new status quo. It’s part of the reason why Reid, despite getting snookered again and again by handshake deals, would not abandon the filibuster. They want so badly to believe that the old rules of decorum are still obeyed when it’s obvious to outside observers that the GOP as a party has gone bugfuck insane.
