It's just one mistake after another... a series of unforced error, blunders and gaffes. Are the people who make these mistakes TOTALLY unaware of what they're doing? Or do they actually consciously realize it (fully understanding how abrasive and offensive their swipes and low-blows are) and just not care what the consequences are? Do they not care about the division and the resentment and the DISTRUST that such behavior causes? Do they not realize that these things WEAKEN our party?

How does that old saying go? Something about "being with us, or against us" ... remember that one? Does it apply here?
