One of the problems with some of you Democrats is that you all must have played ping-pong in high school rather than a team sport. I'd just like to give you a brief description of what a team is and how it is supposed to work.
A team is a primarily a vehicle for personal sacrifice. To be a member of a team is to sacrifice. Individual concerns are set aside. Personal will is curbed. Selfish impulses are suppressed. This is done because it is necessary for the benefit of the team. A team ceases to be a team once the members begin to put themselves and their interests before that of the whole. However, even a perfectly cohesive team will have a bad apple or an errant decision. People make mistakes and so do teams. But a strong team, first and foremost, keeps its eyes on the prize and sticks together through thick and thin. There will be disagreements among the members, for sure. But a good team member will keep their disagreements private and resolve themselves to accepting things they don't like for the benefit of the team. That is how a team player operates.
So, Senator McCaskill, just because you don't like the ads that Jack Conway is running in Kentucky, that is not an opportunity for you to grandstand about how sanctimonious and upright you are. You seemed to be of a different mind when you ran your Michael J. Fox ad, which I supported even though I knew it would make some people uncomfortable. I'm sure your opposition to Conway's ad won over ... What? Maybe a dozen Republican votes in a state you don't even live in. Meanwhile, you put our guy on blast. Put your microphone and camera love aside. If you have a problem with Jack Conway, tell him in the locker room Senate Cloakroom after the game election. Until then, you STFU. You say "no comment." You remember what side you're on. That goes for you too Rep. Yarmouth.
Jack Conway is on OUR team. Alan Grayson is on OUR team. YOU are on OUR team. You hand-wringers and couch fainters will have plenty of time to be a media pundit after the election is over.
Team up or shut up.
Let's show these weak-kneed Dems what a fighting team spirit is all about! Show some love for Jack Conway!
