This is getting into some philosophical territory.
In part DelawareLiberal’s mission (though unstated) is to help Democrats get elected. Republicans have many assets at their disposal to help them get elected (like entire TV networks and radio stations), Democrats have a bunch of crappy blogs. So I take that part of that mission seriously. This is asymmetrical warfare.
However, we also call out shitty Democrats like Tom Carper much more frequently and with more gusto than Republican assets call out shitty Republicans.
I guess that confuses things a bit. It shouldn’t. In the absence of proof that a Democrat is a loser, a crook, or a crumb bum like John Atkins. We’ll take the side of the Democrat in any race against any Republican.
If my Republican’s think Brady would make a better Insurance Commissioner than Weldin Stewart, fine. Make that case. It is a free country.
