Can someone PLEASE capture what Keith and Michael Moore are talking about? |

All about them being 'professional left-wing folks'?
This will be a classic moment.. puts the issues in clear perspective... if you have both a good sense of history, and what happened since November 2008 to now.. and a good sense of humor.

I haven't felt the DLC/BlueDog/Wall Street/"New" Democrat axis was on my side in over 30 years. They're just warmed over Eisenhower Republicans and they don't want a damned thing I do.
I'm with Olberman on this one. Gibbs, if not the problem, is a major symptom of it and his way of thinking is something we as a nation can no longer afford. Appeasement of the far right has gotten us nowhere; after pulling the guts out of some of the most important legislation we've had in years, they still refused to vote for it.
We don't need a gentelmen's club. We need a goddamned steamroller and wimpy GOP lite conservatives are just not ever going to be part of that.
Fighting a party that has gone over the edge into insanity is bad enough. Feeling that you have to fight your own party as well is beyond dreadful.

5. Eisenhower Republicans? Take a look at the tax rate back then. |
|
Or the warning about the Military Industrial Complex.
Eisenhower was to the left of these guys.
The Democrats of today are equivalent to the Republicans of my youth. That's a shame for me because I still believe in the Democratic principles I grew up with.
Of course, those bedrock principles are now considered "professional left."

4. Basically ignoring the point that the far left expect Obama to perform miricals with this congres |
|
...that is non controlling and is being filibustered on 90% of everything they put froward.
