According to our friends at Clean Cut Kid, Republicans are too ridgid to tolerate any dissent in their ranks. Well, this is how the Daily KOS, an extraordinarily popular blog, deals with a heratic among the Democrats.
On a day that Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev) showed great leadership by announcing his opposition to John Roberts' confirmation to the SCOTUS, Max Baucus, Senator from Montana, demonstrated his wonderful backstabbing skills, undercutting his Leader by supporting Roberts:
I have found that Max Baucus meets my criteria for a gutless son of a bitch. Baucus demonstrates a healthy disrespect for his Leader in the Senate and for the values and principles that define the Democratic Party.
Throughout his career, Max Baucus has been kissing Republican rings and can not seem to break that habit, even with George Bush at the nadir of his Presidency.
Well, now. Baucus " demonstrates a healthy disrespect for his Leader." Imagine what CCK would be saying about us if we used such language about the President? Better yet imagine what that blog we used to tangle with so often would say: "Republicans Openly Fascist!" "Stalinist Show Trial Language in Republican Memos!"
Does the left wing blogosphere really believe that respect for capital L Leaders requires obedience? That individual party members are not free to case their votes in what ways they think right? Or is every question a simple matter of loyalty to the side of the righteous?
