There are some good folks in the party and if you know them personally you find out they are just going along. <br /><br />I have got to admit I have been defriended by both several progressives for not towing the party line and a couple of idiots who coddle rabid conservatives but cloak themselves in a banner of moderation. Fuck them if they cannot take a joke and live up to their own standards.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-87174968918186613532011-12-30T22:19:07.107-08:002011-12-30T22:19:07.107-08:00They are not ideologically pure Progressives, Beac...They are not ideologically pure Progressives, Beach. They are close-minded nitwits. They de-friend me on FB as soon as they realize I'm trying to give their minds some fresh air! However, I will never vote for a Republican. Some make good friends, but elected office is too valuable to waste on any Republican. Hagel should be convinced to put a D up beside his name.Vigilantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07640246609540057997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-41119427182929685612011-12-30T17:55:24.655-08:002011-12-30T17:55:24.655-08:00Whoa now, Vigil you know as well as I do some of t...Whoa now, Vigil you know as well as I do some of the ideological pure progressives are just as pig headed as the Teabaggers.
