DEMOCRATIC Senate Primary (0.00 / 0)

C'mon Todd.  You know better.  It read like Sean Hannity wrote the header.

Wow (0.00 / 0)

I never thought I would live long enough to be compared to Sean Hannity.  Can we say, overly dramatic? 

Nitpick-
Defined as overly critical or to criticize minor details. 

Seems that would apply here.

Don't adopt their language (0.00 / 0)

http://en.wikipedia...._(phrase)

Democrat Party is a political epithet used in the United States by some conservative commentators and by some members of the Republican Party in speeches and press releases instead of the name (or more precisely, the proper noun) Democratic Party.

Many members of the Democratic Party object to the term. New Yorker commentator Hendrik Hertzberg wrote: "There’s no great mystery about the motives behind this deliberate misnaming. 'Democrat Party' is a slur, or intended to be - a handy way to express contempt. Aesthetic judgments are subjective, of course, but 'Democrat Party' is jarring verging on ugly. It fairly screams 'rat.'"[1]

Don't Attack other Democrats (0.00 / 0)

As you lecture me about not adopting "their language," you feel the need to adopt the tried and true tactic of tear your own apart.

Comparing me to Sean Hannity is ridiculous. 

Thanks for pointing out your opinion and I'll be more careful in the future. 

Now I would suggest instead of being overly dramatic in making your opinion, a simple "heads up" will do just fine in the future.

"It read like Sean Hannity wrote the header."

I did not compare you to Sean Hannity (although you two look similar around the eyes ... lol)  I pointed out that it was language similar to what the Right-wingers use when describing the "Democrat Party."

I was not being dramatic, just annoyed at reading that on a Democratic website from someone who certainly knows better.  Not that big a deal.

A simple "Oh yeah, oops." would have sufficed.  Get that Sean?  just kidding.

Senator votes against Amnesty for undocumented workers who are already living in the country. (0.00 / 0)

Senator votes against Amnesty for undocumented workers who are already living in the country.

Junior John voted against the immigration measure that could grant legalization to the estimated 12 million unlawful immigrants if they pass background checks and pay fines and fees. It also would toughen border security and institute a new system for weeding out illegal immigrants from workplaces.
