For an old Democrat like me, "SnowdenGate" is wonderous....

and timely. First, the extent that lefterism is tearing its hair around this one, is a much-needed reminder of how the Reagan/GOP was able to take over our politic. Back then there were just too many of we Democrats contemplating our own personal navels.

But wait! It also hints at the luxury we '13 Democrats have, to re-contemplate those navels without it negatively impacting the party's fortunes. It's all good.

A. I'm sorry you've had to resort to major party politics

B. This hasn't looked good for the Obama admin, and Obama himself, even though it was a bi-partisan venture.

You didn't see ol' GWB up there saying "hey, it's no big deal!" He's now the face of this program.

I'm a Democrat, therefore I needn't "resort" to being a Democrat. Although....sometime in some other forum, you should probably ask after my opinion of weenie-whining "betwixters"!

Anyway....to the extent that some feel that this is a problem for the Obama/Democrats, it's all good. It wouldn't be nearly so good, if so many didn't feel that it's a problem!

The Democratic Party is stronger than it has been in decades, right now, right here. Republicans continue to shoot themselves in the face with fringe crackpot stance after fringe crackpot stance. Gut medicare and social security? Vote killer. Vote against education and student loans, vote killer, and the list goes on and on.
