    Been waiting for this. Tensions a nice way of putting it, many considering the Pelosi, Reid, Wasserman-Shultz leadership a failure.....and I'm talking many Democrats feel this way...agreeing with their Republican across the aisle. Personally, I'd like to see the PRW wing of the Party win out, I think the GOP can beat that ticket.

    Grab yer popcorn and soda:popcorn:

    Democrat infighting has largely been out of the public view for the last 6 years.....why? Since Obama took office.....the media doesn't bring you those rifts. Like this article says, Tea Party and other organization's clashes with 'establishment' is highlighted when it comes to the GOP, rifts between Democrats even naitonally ala Hillary and Obama are kept wrapped up by our media, sheilded if you will. Not so much anymore as this article articulates.

    Chuck Schumer being critical of Obamacare? Wasn't he once one of the 'you're a racist' if you opposed the ACA to begin with. My my......a crisp defeat at the polls seems to have altered some big gun thinking over in the Left's Tent. 2015 should be interesting.

    What was fascinating about Chuck Schumer's break with the official party line last week was that every last one of his arguments directed against his party's leadership for having ignored the damaged economy in favor of ramming ObamaCare sideways down this nation's gagging throat back in 2009 and 2010 sounded exactly like the identical arguments issued by EVERYONE Right of Center from day one. Oh the irony! Oh and especially since Schumer is the number 2 Democrat in the U.S. senate and since he actually dared criticize Obama himself. Gasp! The racist!
