Oh here's the kind of headline that will rally the base

Just the sort of political operator that makes you wish for Bob Shrum to come back:

How about the sacrifices we must make to pay for our nation to get back on track?
Let's all bit the bullet and pay our taxes to support each other. Vox

Last night, Matthews had Penn and Shrummy on and, as the cherry on top of the offal, BEN FREAKING NELSON!
It was TV history.

And people want me to believe that Hillary would have been better?

sukabi said...

DrDick, yeah I'm finding it interesting that as of yesterday's press conference ALL of Clinton's people (including Clinton, himself---WFT was that anyway, if Obama's trying to instill confidence in his "strategy" bringing Clinton in to run his presser and then bailing was a big FAIL) have been brought back in to help manage....

This would have been the same exact crowd that would have followed Hillary into the presidency, so how would there have been one iota of difference??

Its hard to communicate the level of betrayal I feel.

Matt Taibbi may be right: the Ruling Class may have simply given up on America and now want to clean the carcass.

I'm optimistic this deal won't make it through. If Mark Penn is involved, failure is inevitable.

Mark Penn looks like somebody who smells bad.

Democrats Need to Back Obama

Actually, most Democrats do back Obama. It's mostly the left wing extremists (like some of the regulars here) that don't back Barack Obama.

The real OnA is busy catching a buzz from Cheney.

You can't have it both ways O/A. Sure, we'll support Obama and agree to disagree with him. At least Obama doesn't ban his supporters from his presence like W did to Powell, to the "Few bad apples" with power over others who acted execrably, and overrule a court of law by releasing criminals who acted in his name like Scooter Libby.
And the criminal republican Congress who created these detestable tax breaks for the rich.

Hey! If you rearrange the letters of his name right, it spells out douche bag!

Try it!

M-A-R-K P-E-N-N.

Carville allowed his name to be signed to that "Please let Uncle Scooter come home" letter, so he needn't be talking about people having balls.

As I've said here before, I had hoped, more than anything, that Obama's voctory signaled an end to the hold of that bunch of pseudo-pragmatists that Clinton inflicted on the party.

He beat them in open and fair competition, making them crawl in the shit trying to beat him (that "hard working white people" thing Hilary sputtered out will hang around her neck for the rest of her life) and then turned right around and invited the lot of them to hop on the bandwagon.

we NEED to push obama left.

only Obama can give Social Security to the Republicans. Only Democrats throw their voters, their base under the bus and wonder where they went come election time.
