Since I favor democrats over republicans, I don't enjoy pointing out when the democrats do stupid things.
What, does it mean, in your opinion?

Which is why I mentioned about sweeping DEM stupidity under the rug. It isn't unreasonable to say that there are GOP supporters here who are also uncomfortable with pointing out GOP mistakes. Which I said is also part of the issue. Mistakes should be pointed out whenever they occur and not just glossed over if it is my side, howled at if it is the other side. Also, as I said, a DEM elected has less incentive to improve himself since your bias will also have you favor him over a GOP candidate. Nor doe the GOP candidate have as much incentive to improve himself since they know the GOP base is also not enjoying pointing out when GOPs do wrong. Again, lack of incentive to improve. That is a major problem. If I know you will frequent my establishment whether I water down the drinks or not, what is my incentive to make it better?

I doubt that many politicians are worried about what I think, but I might have swayed a voter or two in my day.

And, before you say it, I am not in favor of sweeping anything under the rug. You'll need to make up something else.

Not you but collectively, that is the attitude of many people. If it is my team, it's not good but that's ok. If it is the other team, I scream and yell. IMO, once you get elected, you are the elected whatever banner you fly. For example, if I hate Obama and he is DEM but is legally elected, Tough. He is my legally elected President. Sure, I'll support him but I also expect the SAME things out of him as I do out of McCain, had he got elected. I didn't agree with the Obama bailouts any more than I agree with it when Bush was in office and started it. As far as I am concerned, it was a mistake that BOTH idiots shared.

Sorry if your posts seem to reflect that. Seems to be that a GOP mistake gets you screaming and yelling whereas if it is DEM, well, it is not good but there are some mitigating factors.

Screaming and yelling? Really? I linked to C-Span for God's sake. That is hardly screaming and yelling.
