Common Sense

Unlike Democrats, Republicans do not question whether it is a good thing to have hard working, committed activists. They just say thank you.
Rather than worry about being “pulled in a more extreme direction” they confidently accept support wherever they can get it and openly court their base. They proudly run on the label “conservative” and would not dream of marginalizing their most energetic partisans. Democrats, not so much.
Note to the clueless DC insiders: the blogosphere is only “extreme” to the extent it is extremely impatient with people like you. We believe that your strategy of caution has failed and we are agitating for a more aggressive Democratic politics. After a partisan impeachment, a stolen election in 2000, an illegal war and an unprecedented executive power play we think this is a pretty serious situation. In fact, we see this as political civil war. You apparently think that is “extreme.” We think it is common sense.
