86. Uhhh, isn't the last bit true?

"Democratic Congressman's nobility and love of country, and contrasted these ever-present virtues with the Republican's loathing of all things American?"

Snarkiness aside, last time I checked, that statement is actually true.

When we have our enemy on the ropes, I'm not sure why guys Taibbi are picking on Democrats. The day we have progressive super majorities in both houses of congress, a progressive majority in the Supreme Court, AND a progressive president, I'll worry about internal house cleaning. Until then, we need to stand unified until the Rethugs are locked out of ALL decision making and their racist teabagger constituents have no more say in how the rest of America is run.
