If Democrats could shut down every conservative talk radio show, every conservative web site, and stop every conservative from voting, I'm sure many would try.
It's not just that they want to win. They are so SURE they are right that it infuriates them to have to deal with the idiots who don't know any better (otherwise known as THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, WHOSE SERVANTS THEY ARE) and can't just tell them to, and make them, shut up.
harry Reid's comment about the “smelly” tourists in the Capitol says it all. They think of us as cattle. And they are trying to “manage” us like them.
