Sorry, John.

Despite high praise from important people hither and yon, you sound more like an ass than a donkey to me this time.

I mean, this is what set you off?
Republicans say that Mr. Bush, in making conservative judicial choices, has been doing precisely what he said he would do in both of his presidential campaigns. Indeed, they say, his re-election, and the election of a Republican Congress, meant that the choices reflected the views of much of the American public.
Republicans say something something stupid, and that's "…more evidence of why there needs to be a major blood-letting in the Democratic party, and soon." Right. Self-flagellation will drive the evil spirits from the body politic.

Come on, John. Name names. Who do you want out? Dean? Pelosi? Reid? Ranking members like Conyers and Kennedy? Blue Dogs like Jack Murtha would be natural poster boys for the purge, I suppose. Heads, after all, don't just need to roll. They need to "ROLL." "En masse."

Which serves the goal of a Democratic majority I'm not sure how. We just keep replacing folks until the our Congresscritters learn how to win while in the minority, maybe. Nah, maybe not. Maybe we need to be talking about who to add to our ranks, not who to toss, until we've got some folks to spare.

I understand that when someone stronger takes advantage of you, a tantrum can be emotionally satisfying. The energy would probably be more profitably invested in getting stronger yourself, though.

Look, we're going to lose on Alito. It's a bitch. We're going to lose most of the time until we control some piece of the federal government, and some of the time until we control it all. The question for Democrats isn't 'who should we dump,?' it's 'which way to the gym?'.
