Is Obama hurting the Democratic Party by not joining forces with Hilla

Occhi - I usually respect your opinion, but not when ...
not when your viewpoint is so gerbil.

Have it your way, Van, but I note who cast the first stone.

Prepare for counter-battery fire when so doing.

Somedays the rapier, some days the sledge hammer.

think it's interesting how the conservatives are trying to find the proper mud to fling at him. Here at our non-partisan lounge, Occhi has labeled him a "crook" and wondered if he "has a spine", now we have a post that he's P.T. Barnum "on his white side". What label is going to stick, and be used all summer long?? We'll see.

If you thought I was going to let that pass, the cheap shot that it was, you need to understand something.

A career politician is to be assumed a crook unless shown otherwise. It comes with the badge. The question is a matter of degree, not kind.

Like I said, Obama bringing a new, or better, class of crook is his primary appeal. Whether or not it represents an improvement is anyone's guess.
