21. Show me the money?
The left does the same thing the right does. They need an 'enemy' to keep their troops agitated and contributing money to the 'cause'. So since we kicked the Republicons out of the White House and control of Congress the left has to come up with reasons to attack their own. This is why in the last 30+ years the Democrats have not been able to solidify and hold the highest offices in this country because once they gain power the different factions within the party start fighting for the biggest piece of the pie. I consider myself to be very liberal but I am more than willing to let President Obama choose who he wants to work with. I will ultimately decide whether I approve of these picks not from pre-office litmus test of 'liberal holiness' but from what they actually do and accomplish. Of course there is nothing wrong with keeping pressure on them but this kind of attack just plays in to the right wings propaganda machine. As I have said in other posts what President Obama is putting in place is a administration that is on the center-right of the Democratic party which still means it probably leans a little bit center-left of the general populace. Give them a chance people!!!
