I'd have to trust the left to do the right thing more than I do to believe them.
They figure the damage to the right can’t be fixed, they’ve won. So they can go “oops” and [pretend to] pile on now without hurting their cause.
Zealots don’t have epiphanies, and most of these people passed zealot a long time ago.
Personally, I consider most of the lefties in politics and the media to be genuine psychopaths, pure and simple. Obama is absolutely one and so are most of his acolytes. Pelosi, Schumer, Matthews, Olberman and the rest of the sick effs. All psychopaths who get a sick, sexual thrill dominating all the little people.
These people don’t take prisoners. If they pat you on the back, you’ll be pulling out the knife afterwards.
