Forgot to add:

Detroit is the 11th largest city in the US.

It also votes Democratic overwhelmingly. So, why would Republicans raise a hand to vote to save it? New York, Washington D.C., New Orleans, Cleveland, they’re killing them all.

with respect to AG holder and the latest very strange doj pleadings,

it occurrs to me that it is at least possible that AG holder :

- has privately promised, as a conditon of his approval, not to oppose matters where “state secrets” claims were employed by the bush doj

and

- that, as a consequence of that promise, holder is trying to provoke the courts into joining in the game of “who will protect the american people and their constitution”. (something federal judges have proved loath to do in the last couple of decades.)

as an aside, it’s time to quite appointing lawyers only to the supreme court. that court is more, and chiefly, a political body, rather than a legal body - something present occupants (excepting judge souter) seem not to understand.

unless of course one considers “political” in the sense of justice scalia’s “bush v gore” campaign or the catholic-five’s decision on late term abortions.

Not a problem. I know we are on the same team! I agree with your market concerns too.

Bingo! Peter picked up on that immediately; he was all over that exact same thought that Bob had.

and by “weakness” i don’t mean numbers, obviously, but rather willingness to in fight for principles that democrats traditionally fight for.

When the Republicans claim that Democrats have no principles, this is what they’re talking about. Democrats don’t talk enough about what our principles and values are. We say we have a “big tent,” which basically means we don’t talk much about those things.

I don’t think we should copy the Republicans in this regard, but I do wish that we had a better and more vigorous discussion of Democratic values and principles.

Speaking of which, Obama, referring to North Korea, lambasted them for not following the rules, and said that violating the rules must have consequences, and other nice tough talk. Hoo Boy, would someone talk that back to him about the 8 years of rule breaking under Preznit Bush, and the lack of consequences, so far??? Anyone got a linky on that quote?
