Backlash? Is that another way of saying a hand slap to a DEM politician?
Why am I thinking of Elena Ceaucsuae?
Another case of when the people suffer the Democrats prosper!
Unofficial, but telling.

Why do people insist on using the word democratic when its about democrats? Democrats are not democratic. Democrats are kleptocratic.
