How many times is this going to come up. ALMOST NO ONE HERE HAS ILLUSIONS ABOUT DEMOCRATS. THEY SUCK. IN MANY CASES THEY SUCK SOMEWHAT LESS THAN REPUBLICANS. THAT'S ALL. Is that so hard to understand?

You're clearly a very smart guy, Jim, so it can't be a matter of misunderstanding. The only reason I can think of for this accusation persisting is that the people who hold it have some need to collapse distinctions completely, in the interests of some all-or-nothing (or worse-the-better) politics. Becuase it doesn't make any sense otherwise. Cue to Cde Cox on the attribution of motives...
