Reply #161: Yep, that would be one of the Republican pitching points here.

"Be honest about the corruption that is pervasive in our party's leadership."

Please cite backing for that statement. Corruption? Sure, we have one freelancer under indictment. You want to equate the same level of corruption between Republicans and Democrats?

"And your attempt to broadbrush smear all of us critics as republican operatives is duly noted. Typical.
" You don't think that Republican operatives would be targeting places like DU and DKos, etc. to spread divisiveness and spread the "why bother" gospel?

I've been at DU though 3 election cycles...they come like night follows day. Oddly enough, many describe themselves as critics who just expect perfection in the Democratic Party. I'm betting the Democrats will never be good enough for you to vote for them. Your statement on the pervasiveness of Democratic corruption is a tell.
