They simply are incapable of dealing with Republicans in an honest way, by arguing the merits of ideas. Obama is no difference. He's a phony

I think you misunderstand the nature of current Democratic politics. It's all about identity, not ideas. That's what interests them, that's where they have arguments. For ideas, they go to the same well of oft-repeated propaganda, a load of half-truths and fictions being maintained even though it has less and less to do with any ascertainable facts. But it makes them feel good about themselves.

I call it the "Arab disease". It's the same MO that has rendered the Arab world incapable of political refrom.
