Dana Milbank needs to get out more often. He is emblematic of the "media" that reports to us exactly what we should be thinking. However his column is filled with a plethora of Republican talking points. If I didn't know better, I would expect that he and Jeff Gannon share a checking account. Here is his a snip:

To some, this might be cause for celebration. But not to Democrats. Beaten in the last three election cycles, the party has a serious insecurity complex. Convinced they will face another disappointment in November, Democrats are already busy figuring out who among them should be blamed for the inevitable defeat.

And he goes on to regurgitate Republican talking points about Hilary Clinton, John Kerry, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Al Gore and others: http://www.washingtonpost.com/... Read More

This is my first diary. Cross posted at http://DemocracyCellProject.net:

"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."

Those are the words said by every federal employee, including the Attorney General when they begin their service to this country. The President and Supreme Court Justices say something a little different, but they also take an oath to defend the Constitution. Every Senator swears to this identical oath as well. The supremacy of the oath is manifest by the fact that even Postal Workers swear the same oath.
