Democrats never have primary fights because they’re sheep

The Bard of Wasilla to the Earl of OxyContin:

This is what I appreciate about the Republican Party. We have contested, aggressive, competitive primaries. We’re not like this herd mentality like a bunch of sheep—with the fighting instincts of sheep, as Horowitz would say—like some in the Democrat Party; where, heaven forbid, you take a stand and you oppose somebody within your own party because it’s the right thing to do.

I’m sure this will be news to President Hillary Clinton.

If she calls them the Democrat Party one more time, I swear to Jeebus I will start calling the GOP the Asshole Party Of Assholes Who Are Assholes.

If you’re a Repub and you take a stand and oppose Rush Limbaugh don’t you have to bow and scrape and apologize within 24 hours or it’s “off with your head”?

Zandar, I think that one’s already taken. ;-)

When teabaggers quit repeating that Dittohead shibboleth, I’ll quit calling them “teabaggers.” Until then, they can go choke on a…teabag.

My mind is thoroughly buggered now, thank you.

We oppose someone because it’s the right thing to do? Then why is the other candidate running? He should be a party sheep, right? Does she really, truly and for real, not understand the concept of a Primary? Can I stop asking questions?

Seriously, though, it would be optically much more satisfying if we’d had more than one candidate in the Democratic primary, and if—occasionally—we wouldn’t have unanimous Dem votes in the House and Senate.
