In reply to the discussion: How would you have reacted if any Republican ran promising to do the following? [View all]MADem

you, please don't try modelling it.
The argument is just stupid. No one "runs" on that sort of laundry list--without even going into the accuracy of who did what to whom (keeping in mind that Congress, not the President, makes law--but that's an inconvenient fact, now, isn't it? Kinda fucks up the ole thesis, too!).
I reiterate my assertion--it takes people four long years to start whining? Right as election season is dawning?
Sorry--I do not buy it. This smells like a voter suppression gambit to me.

Well, it's not like people weren't "allowed" to complain about it back then. I was one of 'em.

I would vote for that person if they were running against a republican in a heartbeat.

Sounds like Sullivan really hit a nerve. Lots of "damage control" by those invested in pushing
