Why do you persist in making excuses for that kind of scum?  Your so-called
"Middle America" encompasses people from all walks of life, all social strata,
and every political persuasion.  The only thing that links them is that they
make a certain amount of money.

I know a lot of Democrats.  Many of them are friends.  My beef is with the
Democrat Party, and with the people that run it.  The problem is not with the
rank and file, at least the majority of them.  I think they honestly believe in
doing what's best for the country.  But they have one great fault that I don't
find in most Republicans.  When the DNC says line up, they line up, and when it
says this is what we stand for, they all repeat it as if it were the word of
God.  Republicans are loyal to the party and its ideals, but if they disagree
with something or have a problem with a Republican candidate, they say so, and
don't support it or him.

There are some people, however, who will repeat any lie, distort any statement,
disparage anyone with beliefs other than their own, and do it as a matter of
policy.  And their leadership stands up in front of the nation and says he
hates Republicans.  Then there's types like Schumer, who says to the press how
reasonable he is, and just wants to be sure we appoint good judges, etc., and
then gets overheard on a cellphone saying it doesn't matter a damn who the USSC
nominees are, they are pulling out the stops to keep them from getting voted
on.  Now, you tell me, who hates who here, eh?
