Things that didn't happen yesterday: Texas Democrats did not return home.

39. I can't believe I fell for that fiddle faddle and didn't even think about fact checking!

At least I didn't join the Democrat bashing pileon that thread was turning into (with the exception of a few sensible souls who were valiantly arguing backI will definitely fact check before taking the next "Democrats bad" story at face value (because, unfortunately, there are bound to be more ).

I don't understand why some people here are so quick to assume the worst about Democrats and criticize them harshly without knowing all the facts. It's like Dems have to be Repug-slaying knights in shining armor at all times and aren't allowed to have any human foibles at all.

It was depressing to see how many people were ready not just to believe the story but assume the worst about the motives of the Texas Dems. We should be giving them more credit than that, even if the story about them going home had been true!
