Or somebody intelligent enough to realize that Republicans will attack Democrats anytime for anything. <br /><br />For some reason, I always reflect upon the case of Ward Churchill... The former Uni. Colorado professor who was so far to the left that even the Green Party didn't pay attention to him. But the Republicans needed something to complain about, dug up a few of his quotes, and proceeded to apply the philosophy of Ward Churchill to Democrats and Progressives as a whole. I mean, I don't know how emphatically I can state this, but before the right attacked him nobody gave a flying fuck about Ward Churchill. <br /><br />But the Republicans, always in offensive mode, needed to attack the left with something; anything. They'll just make shit up if need be. <br /><br />Why is it so difficult for Democrat politicians to realize that they will never get this current crop of Republicans to work with them?tashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14296761263276891805noreply@blogger.com
