It's not 'infighting', it's not 'lack of support'...
it's a passionate debate about the direction of our nation.








And that's not a bad thing.O8)

1. It goes past "passionate debate" every time someone says "Obama = Bush"
Or comes anywhere close to it.

It also goes past passionate debate when one side absolutely refuses to acknowledge anything good that's done.

4. I don't like it either...
but that's why it has to be include. You can't deny people the right to free speak just because you don't like/agree with what they say.

7. No one is denying any rights.
But that doesn't mean people like Gibbs can't call them out on what they are saying.

2. And that's not a bad thing.
Apparently the elites who control our country consider it a bad thing, which is why the WH sent Gibbs out to make those statements.

3. As long as it's civil.....
...name calling, and petty accusations do not constitute debate.

6. It is a lack of support, when debaters clearly state that they're withdrawing support...
because their issues aren't being met fast enough. The discussion/debate is killed at that point.
