1. And people say there is no split in the Democratic Party. The Third Way has destroyed this party

but the 'New' Democrats are growing old pretty fast as the out themselves on almost all the most issues that concern voters.

They are FOR cuts and privatization of Social Security.

The old style Dems are for Expansion and increases in benefits re SS.

The 'New' Democrats are for neocon/neoliberal economic and Foreign Policies of forever war.

I hope Dems like Wyden, who has turned out to be a big disappointment on this understand how utterly opposed people are to this 'secret deal'.

He, who was the main voice against it, who told us that 'if the people knew what was in it they would oppose it', has now allowed himself to be dragged over the wrong side of this issue.

Already people are calling for a primary challenge in his next election. I feel sad about this as I always respected him.
