NeoDemocrats Suck.
Edited on Tue Mar-29-11 01:11 AM by JFN1
NeoDeomcrat: An offshoot of the Democratic Party, where it defines national interests to include ideological interests e.g. "bi-partisanship" as an exercise in capitulation, and the use of American military power to bring "democracy" and "freedom" to other sovereign countries who are part of the global oil supply chain; and where it defines economic interests through policy driven towards corporate, or "market" interests, tax relief for wealthy individuals and corporations combined with austerity measures for lower income groups, and the dismantlement of whatever social safety nets and government regulations necessary to support the overall economic schema exclusively benefitting wealthier income groups and corporations.


I think I'd rather stay a "classic" Democrat...

1. An apt policy summation for Obama
Of course aside from the "capitulation" part, it could be the platform for the Rethuglican party.

But I think the thugs actually do capitulate - totally - to corporate interests...

6. Did you make that up? There's no link...
AND, any person from any political party who favors corporate rights over those of the individual - SUCKS.
