    Agreed.

    Marcotte is no better than David Duke in her bigotry. Bigots exist on the left, unfortunately. Edwards didn't need that on his campaign.

    Good riddance to both of those bloggers.

    So true. And any true liberal would never tolerate Marcotte's hate speech. Of course I admit I'm not a true liberal, at least as today's "liberals" define themselves, but rather am merely a true-blue Democrat tired of losing elections while the middle-class is steadily dismantled.

    And leaving the bigotry aside, alienating the Catholic vote is about as smart as tieing lead to your ankle and jumping into the ocean from a helicopter. For anyone serious about winning an election of course.

    Unfortunately that wouldn't include a good segment of the one-note Johnny special interest left who clearly prefer whining about their pet issue and reveling in defeat as a GOP majority rolls over them.
