Goodness me! Oh, my! Haven't we taken on airs!
Apparently, I don't know who I'm talking to! Gosh, excuse me for even presuming to point out to you that enabling leftist Republicans to call the shots IS most certainly "relying on liberals to do the right thing".
In the real world, more and more of us are waking up to the fact that leftists are leftists, regardless of party. Conservatives and Americans mostly apolitical but who are increasingly resentful of overregulation by government in every single aspect of their lives, have zero party, a people without a banner.
But you go on thinking that leaving Obama alone is "smart" strategy by a Republican party whose "brand" is that of a weenie hypocrite coward. Believe it or not, I truly do understand your urge for what you see as pragmatism. Some of us have moved on in our thinking, you haven't, and that's what makes the world go 'round. Why take it so personally, for crying out loud?
It would be nice if you outgrew your arrogance and bad temper. I like to think your mother would gently smack you backside of your head for shooting your mouth off with such "low level" insult-as-analyses as you so often exhibit on FR.
Good grief! Get over yourself!
when you accuse me of playing it safe, being timid, etc, in going against the GOP estabs, then you get what you deserve and in fact what you begged for.
Get over YOUR self.
