You can't think of anything to say, so you put scare-quotes around Democrat.

Yes. People like me, the center part of center-left, are the strength of the Democratic Party. Screaming fuck-wits who constantly bash Democrats, because reality never intrudes on their daydreams and insipid anti-Americanism are its weakness (if they vote for Democrats at all - instead of being Naderites who gave us Bush).

For the record, I'm happy that the President drew a line against innocent children being gassed to death, and took the necessary steps to keep it from happening again. And I'm quite confidant that if he hadn't taken the steps he did, would have seen more of real actual WMDs in the Syrian civil war.
