... I've never even heard of this Kesha Rogers lady before today. I'm happy to believe she's a DINO, or a fraud, or whatever you guys are trying to say but this is the evidence provided:
My own Democratic Party must convict Obama on real impeachment charges, then vote up a bipartisan Glass- Steagall Act to crush Wall Street's power over our economy, and use federal credit to fund strategic nationwide jobs programs in water infrastructure, nuclear power, space exploration, and similar high production areas. This will stop gridlock over partisan nonsense.
Wouldn't we find most of the pieces of this quote good, reasonable, or interesting individually if they had come out of the mouth of Dennis Kucinich? What about Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren? Alan Grayson?
Take each one individually:
1) No one here thinks Guantanamo, or the Afghan surge, or the continuation of Bush era illegal searches and seizures, or the refusal to prosecute Bush era war crimes, or the refusal to prosecute Wall Street for massive fraud are crimes or misdemeanors in their own right?
2) No one here thinks a new Glass-Steagal is a good idea? Every single one of you knows, not thinks, knows that we don't just need to reinstate Glass-Steagal, we need to create something much, MUCH stronger.
3) No one here thinks a massive deficit spending jobs program is a good idea? You can debate the examples she cites but surely we're not debating the idea of the federal government being the employer of last resort...
In fact the only part of this quote that seems irrefutably, historically, empirically false, is that one or some of these proposals will have any effect whatsoever on gridlock.
Look, I'm sure this woman is a wacko-bird, just get a better block quote to prove it.
Oh, but she's a LaRouchite? Then Barack Obama is a member of the Weather Underground.
How does this happen? We field empty suits. We field corporatists, and chicken-hawks and don't even fund them properly. We continually ask questions like should Elizabeth Warren primary Hillary? When was the last time anyone asked "does a thoughtful consideration of Hillary's policy preferences actually qualify HER to call her self a Democrat?"
You know why women like this lead polls? Because we suck. Because our guys suck.
Al Gore lost because of 10% genuine, real life, demonstrable corruption and election fraud and 90% because he sucked. It never, ever should have been that close.
John Kerry...come on. It never, ever, EVER should have been that close.
Once again the problem with republicans, in this case John Cornyn, will be democrats. We can't be bothered to find someone good so...
How about this? Sum up all of this in one neat and tidy package: Priorities USA Action.
Suck less. That's the answer. Just, for the love of jebus, suck less. Run real democrats, real progressives, people of principal and we won't have to worry about DINOs and LaRouchites and corporatists, oh my.
