”Too many of us have been interested in defending programs as written in 1938″

said http://americablog.com/2012/05/obama-2006-too-many-of-us-have-been-interested-in-defending-programs-as-written-in-1938.html

Could whatever HC told her rightwing admirers and allies in those obscenely high priced speeches be any more damning than that? Oh that's right, it ain't damning if you actually like the 3rdway can't/won't agenda as many of her supporters no doubt do. I think those two words are synonymous in their dictionary.

And after all, it's not like she's doing any conniving behind closed doors like Cheney and his energy task force, no? For those to be comparable she'd have to win the presidency like her functional bro/father-in-law (given BC's son-like status in the Bush crime family) George Bush, and give them an invite to some privacy at the WH.

they clearly feel as BHO and HC do as proud 3rdwayers. That is of course indefensible in the DU sea of real FDR dem supporters, so they have to pretend that their largely non-topical dodges are thorough rebuttals.

3. The idea that rules in 1938 have been outlived is false

unfortunately. Principles proven correct are not disproven over time since they were implemented due to same practices and thoughts that deregulation and monopolies were the ticket before the Great Depression such as today's thinking reflects.

so I guess in that regard she's ready and able, unlike Bernie, to "build upon" BHO's efforts to give life to that notion

of the attack lines. But I must defer to truth on occasion, even here. And I was an Obama delegate in 2008.

That's pretty doggone sickening. It's like an audition tape. Maybe it was.

it likely represents how ALL 3rdwayers like he and the Clintons feel about it.

WHat kills me is the way their more enamored supporters show their support for such, and yet are in denial of or clueless about how that makes them all part of the preserving what was written in 1936" problem
