A loss, no matter why, no matter what "outside forces" came into play, is still a loss.

OK I'll be clear...

Do you or do you not want Democrats to retain their 60 votes in the Senate and pass the reconciled HCR bill?

Do you want President Obama and the Democratic Party to succeed or fail?

10. Thank you for being clear ....... for a change.
IF .... it is any of your business, which it actually isn't, I want our majority to be retained. If you think otherwise, it is the result of your obsession with finding anyone with whom you might disagree to be your enemy.

I am not your enemy.

I want the Democratic party to succeed in standing up for and passing its basic platform planks.

When it seems to me that the party, or factions of the party, are straying from those STATED DEMOCRATIC PARTY PRINCIPLES I will criticize freely and complain loudly about that with which I disagree. I was born with that right and then I earned that right.

But keep in mind. There are people who people like but with whom they disagree on almost everything. There are also people who can't stand some people with whom they almost always agree. And that might be why you, for example, find the need to keep that chip on your shoulder all the time. Try being tolerant of other views.

6. "We" are not uniform in our wants. But, yes, subconciously some Dems are self defeating.
Shit, I'm probably one of them.
