I presume they still stand by that.

The last thing the Dems need is to be seen to have any reponsibility for this fiasco whatsoever. Let it be as it should be, the millstone around the administration's neck.

Well, harder than that, actually. Trying to inject reason into perpetually frightened, leaning-authoritarian websites is like trying to explain nuclear physics to a Russian teddy bear hamster.

What do they want? Or what don't they want? They don't want moderate voters, including Republicans, to say. OK, let's give them a chance and see how they do, cause we sure fucked up. This is spin - designed to enrage the rightie voters about things we have not done and will NOT do, in all probability. Maha hit the right tone in her response. We need to ask the righties - each in our own way - what planet are you from? And encourage ALL our representatives to govern from the center for a while. We got too much serious stuff to resolve first.
