is everybody's whipping boy?
Dems and Rs alike eagerly participate in the time-honored practice of slapping around the "Left," which is to say the Democratic Party's base -- which is to say, for the most part, highly educated, professional, well-connected, well-off, middle aged, often white folks who just happen to believe in the concept of Constitutional self-government, liberal ideals, and progressive operations.
That's who you're talking about here. That who, by and large, the Democratic Party base is; that's who get's the football pulled out from under them time and again, and that's who keeps coming back for more and more.
Oh.
Maybe that's why it is such a fun game to those who play it. For all its education, the "Left" can be appallingly... dumb.
Ya think?
