They see it as a sign of weakness.

Should we feel bad about this?

I think not.

1. Agreed - Rove thinks compromise/collaboration is a sign of weakness
Nor can you ever admit any errors.

2. Let's hope the ones who are considering piratizing SS remember
the 2002 and 2004 elections.

8. PIRATIZING Social Security - MAN that's good!
Mind if I use it? What a GREAT buzz phrase!

Please keep thinking up more of 'em.

3. This is common in the Gangster mentality
Which covers everyoine from Tony Soprano and his real-life counterparts to Busheviks and Ferdinand Marcos, to Hitler and Stalin.

ALL see (or saw) compromise as a sign of Liberal Weakness, to be taken and then ignored, the demands if anything increased after each new compromise.

ALL have absolutely no compunctions about throwing their patsies 'under the bus' and of course anyone stupid enough to be an Enemy of the State and collborate with THE PARTY should have their heads examined and should also expect to be jettisoned whenever it is conevnient or enjoyable for the Imperials.

Like the Jewish Guys who have hung out with Mafiosi in real life and the movies, who get whacked because in the end "they're not on of us", the Democratic Collaborators are I have no doubt looked at as weak and pathetic as the Nazis viewed the German Social Democrats who wanted accomodation and compromise.

In the end, it's hard to have much sympathy for these fools who are unable to see or acknowledge what;s right before their eyes.

Like the scorpion said to the girl when she lay dying "You knew I was a scorpion when you picked me up."

4. Honestly? No.
Once they're collaborators, I don't give a fuck what happens to them. You aid and abet fascists, you've chosen your path and you're dead to me at that point.

Maybe their elimnation after collaboration will wise up some Dems who haven't fully committed themselves to the dark side.

6. Dem collaborators are like Republican-Lite
The Repubs then rationalize that if the particular Dems are gonna go that far, why not just replace them with REAL Republicans--bullseye on the Dem state/district.

7. Nope. We should target them too.
Quietly, but ruthlessly.

NGU.

11. No kidding ! All Democrats should assume
that they will be viciously slandered and trying to placate these thugs does them no good at all .

12. That's exactly what I've been thinking..
And..they don't freakin' learn!

Hillary can pander all she wants to whatever faction but when the rubber meets the road..she is going to get crucified by the fascist media.
