I'm older than GG, so I find those inevitable adjectives really amusing now, although they burned in my younger years. They don't know how to answer you, because you're absolutely correct, therefore they attack your sanity/personality/ancestry whatevah. "You're ugly & your mama dresses you funny". It's tragic, but still true all these years after kindergarten.
The only difference between idealism & reality is choice. Mr. Alexander & many others have testified to the truth that aside from all else, torture doesn't work. Your reasoning about the AFM is spot on.
These Dems can choose to try & live noble REALISTIC ideals or they can attempt to justify being weasels. I'm sorry to say, I've always found DiFi ultimately a weasel, although I don't know much about Wyden. For myself, I must continue to believe (as long as possible) that Obama is what he's said & will guide this country back to where we should be, although he'll age 2 centuries in the process, poor fellow.
