This part of one of yesterday's rebuttals (to my bad judgement in posting what I posted yesterday), written by The Blaz, stood out for me:
And son of a bitch, sometimes that means voting for a distasteful candidate from your party.
Except... and I might have pointed this out, except I didn't have the intestinal fortitude to stick around and fight it out... It's not sometimes. It's ALWAYS.
When is the last time the Democrats nominated a liberal candidate? Wasn't Carter. Hell, I'm not even sure about Mondale and Dukakis -- but if they WERE liberal, they sure as HELL were still distasteful as candidates.
