Reply #16: When the CEOs and Wall St Bankers ....

[bvar22]

When the CEOs and Wall St Bankers give ME a voice in their boardrooms, I will consider giving them a voice in the Democratic Party.


Until then:
The Democratic Party is a BIG TENT, but there is NO ROOM for those
who advance the agenda of THE RICH (Corporate Owners) at the EXPENSE of LABOR and the POOR.

Call me a "purist" if that makes you feel good, but inviting the CEOs and lobbyists of the Health Insurance Industry to the table to help reform HealthCare is NOT a good idea.

These people already have a Party that speaks for them...The Republican Party. Should they also be allowed to buy representation in the Democratic Party?
What happens then?.....
Exactly what we have NOW..
A Party without an identity...
A Party without a FIGHT....
A Party without a Unifying Purpose!

Fuck the Republicans AND the Republican Lites!


A well funded Economic Populist with Party support running on a platform of "Economic Justice for Working Americans" can WIN in ANY state.



"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans. I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans, family farmers, and people who haven't felt the benefits of the economic upturn."---Paul Wellstone
