Peter DiFazio - WH has bought into Reaganomics |
|
Edited on Thu Jul-21-11 11:20 AM by Doctor_J
He was just on with Hartmann. The reason for the president's veer to the right: Poll of independent voters shows that those voters care more about the deficit than jobs. Gang of 6 plan is a disaster for working people.
Edit: WH doesn't listen to progressive caucus AT ALL. ===
Getting harder for me to support this president. He doesn't represent my values.

1. DeFazio is my Rep and he does represent my values. |
|
Democratic values, we call them.

values: Voting against the People's Budget? Evidently, he's the one who didn't listen to the Progressive Caucus.

3. You know, during the last election when so many lost to Tea |
|
Party nutters, DeFazio handily defeated a real extremist who'd been armed with tons of out of state money directly targeted at Peter for his Democratic values. I remember our exchanges during that time. Now, I hear much chatter about the need for strong Democrat in Congress, and we put one there, again, while a few odd quarters continued their attacks on him. Peter is not elected to listen to a Caucus, he is elected to listen to the people of the 4th District in Oregon. If you lived here as I do, one assumes you would be voting for the Democratic candidate, and that will be Peter. I do live here, and we do not want him taking marching orders from Beltway groups, but from us.

4. He's actually a member of the progressive caucus |
|
and if you've gotten to bashing DeFazio's credentials as a real Dem, you've jumped the shark. Let's argue about how far right the WH is governing, but let's keep it sane.

7. "He's actually a member of the progressive caucus" |
|
So he has every right to oppose the People's Budget and then talk about values?

15. All you do is deflect, deflect, deflect. |
|
When anybody criticizes the President, you launch your typical ad hominem attacks at the criticizer in question.

11. Unfortunately the president has decided (as usual) to fight against |
|
Sanders, DeFazio, Brown, and other Congress who have working people in mind, and thus has aligned himself with the fringe right (who, by the way, despise him, and always will - his attempts to placate them only make their contempt grow). The irony is that a year from now those whom he's pissed on will be campaigning for him, while those who he's appeased will be tearing him to shreds.

6. Hell even Larry Kudlow said that last night |
|
when commenting on the gang of 6 proposal. He said it represented the triumph of Reagan values that a Democratic president was supporting it. :banghead:

10. The question is not that it's harder, rather WHETHER to support Obama in 2012. |
|
If he keeps it up, he will lose my vote.
