Robert Scheer: Obama'sPresidency Isn't Too Big to Fail
"He has blundered into a deepening quagmire in Afghanistan, has continued the Bush policy of buying off Wall Street hustlers instead of confronting them and is now on the cusp of bargaining away the so-called public option, the reform component of his health care program."
The New Democrat is the Old Republican. Just as the Old Republicans devolve into some sort of deranged regional Confederate Party full of Michael Douglas' "Falling Down" character, taking the perceived demise of the white male in society as some sort of personal attack on their world.
The religious fanatics populating the Old Republicans are an angry unintelligible mass of screamers without logic. Raised by not sparing the rod, these beaten little Christers are now lashing out in the anger as the adults of abused children. The abused become the abusers in Max Blumenthal's well researched analysis of the angry white mobs of the Christian right... the New Confederate Party.
The New Democrat is really the old Rubin-McAuliffe corporate Democrat. McAuliffe whose guiding political philosophy is "Hey pal, payola for me not the other guy's party..." witnessed for the first time in 2006 Democrats receiving more campaign bribes from corporations than the Republicans by 60% to 40% advantage. Pelosi and Reid behaved like it. Not able to find the votes to stop anything or for any traditional Democrats populace position promised in the elections. From 2006 to 2008, Reid and Pelosi's marching orders came from their corporate owners whose bidding was carefully followed with excuses to the public.
