No Labels - Just another Republican con job

The prevailing political sentiment in America is being socially liberal but fiscally conservative. It’s how most people describe themselves, despite the fact that when you ask Americans about which specific policies we support, we skew liberal. Being kind towards those left vulnerable by society is always en vogue, just not to our financial masters. The reason why we are the way that we are is because we have been coached in this contradictory direction by those who control our politics.

Which brings me to No Labels, a “centrist” political group created by Republican Todd Davis and Nancy Jacobson—wife to veteran Clinton strategist, Mark Penn (Penn is now writing op-eds on FoxNews.com about the supposed fraudulence of the Mueller investigation). Joe Lieberman is their designated national leader. No Labels is seemingly designed to drag Democrats further to the right

He's such a shit head.

I don't think they'll succeed. My impression is that Democrats are (finally) ready to kiss the "centrist" meme goodbye. Republican hypocrisy is flying out in the open these days and we the people are ready to spring on anyone spouting rw talk.

For those too young to remember...don't be fooled by the D by Lieberman's name. He is a pathetic asshole. And I say that in the kindest way possible.

That "centrist" meme was and is a crock of shit. Whenever I hear a Democrat use it I cringe.
