Reply #7: very well said....his faith in "bi-partisanship" troubled me from the beginning [View All]

and has proven to be , if anything, even more counter-productive and self-defeating than even I imagined. These people can not be dealt with as if they were a decent, honorable party that respectfully disagrees with you. Not just the president, but our entire party "leadership" needs to take the gloves off, AND KEEP EM OFF. I of course, understand that most of em never will, because they work for the same paymasters the repubs do. But maybe Pres. Obama, by doing as you, I ,and many others have counseled, may yet be able to somehow rally the troops to forcefully stand up to the fascist lunatics that have taken over the republican party. But time is running very short, and I personally am very very pessimistic at this point that this rallying; this FINALLY standing up forcefully to this extremely dangerous mob that now controls the repubs, is ever going to happen. I hope for the sake of my country, and all of humanity, that I'm wrong.
