Reply #22: They are clearly better than us at the circular firing squad

[anigbrowl]

I'm pretty centrist, so I have regular disagreements here with committed leftists who think I'm some sort of crypto-republican and who in turn I think are hopelessly impractical. You get this in any political party, and indeed the number of topic forums on DU is a good guide to how many different interest group and political impulses fall under the democratic umbrella. So much so that we all immediately recognize the phrases 'circular firing squad' and 'herding cats'.

But the GOP...man, they're a sight to see. If the Democrats sometimes resemble a sitcom, the Republicans increasingly look like candidates for the Jerry Springer show.
