14. Geezus take what we can get

Will's commentary is something I'd like to hear from some of our Dem leadership. Yea he sucks for the most part, but he has this one right. The vitriol against him clouds the words he may be saying to people NOT on the left who can help us fight fascism. No purity tests now, all hands on deck and if George Will says or does anything remotely resembling someone trying to save our nation, I applaud him. We can fight with him about progressive taxation and other issues after we rid ourselves of these fascist maniacs in control.
