| 143. They sure care about those who would pressure them from the left. |
|
If they can tar the mainstream with a guy like Kucinich, who does not appeal to the mainstream, they can attempt to marginalize the left.
Of course this will fail, but Rahm Emanuel thinks he can be the next Karl Rove and tell us exactly what to think just like Rove did for his base. This is hubris of the worst degree.
