Reply #110: Doesn't matter how conservative or centrist the nominee is, they'll screech.

If we haven't learned this yet, if Obama hasn't learned it I can't see why. We could nominate Ronald Reagan's reanimated corpse and the GOP would decry the move as nominating a socialist, a dangerous Marxist.

We are at a point where the substance is irrelevant. Emotion trumps all, and the pugs have the monopoly on manufactured outrage, all the while projecting that the Dems are "playing the card" to play on the sympathy of group to further rile up the fearful old white folk.

So why doesn't he just nominate someone good. Someone who is capable, and thoughtful with a record of standing up for the rights of people over corporations. That is all I really need to see.
