Saying that the Republican Party borders on fascism is like saying that the Vatican City borders on Italy.
some people can paint a beautiful vision
What, did HRC borrow Mittensâ unsheathed knife?
BTW, family dysfunction and public share many similarities including oppressed members more concerned with maintaining the failed status quoâŚ
biggest crock of shit i heard from her in a long time notice her book is not selling to well. the biggest criticism of Obama is from his base he was a compromiser in cheif. and as long as the tea party is around and controls the republican party she will get the same treatment.
she better be careful or she may not make it this time either. the Demowimps got to start developing more stars in there party Warren is a good start.
Her book is selling fine. Another lie become âfactâ from the Right.
âBill Never Stopped Reaching Out To Themâ
Yes, and they still hate him for it.
Sadly, many progressives also still hate him for it.
Pennâs people, in particular, are the over-compromising middle that many of us consider part and parcel of the problems we face.
Hillary would do well to hire some of Obamaâs old crew and dump Pennâs players, top to bottom.
I was just thinking about how very âDLCâ this all sounds. The sort of âgo along to get alongâ kind of thing.
Crazy, counterproductive stuff. If she thinks the country would be receptive of another âchained CPIâ idea or even worse, another âGrand Bargainâ she REALLY is listening too much to either Penn or Davis or both.
Quite frankly, any Dem running to her left in the primary would be well advised to bring this up in the national debate with her.
Yes, that was truly a bipartisan fuck-up, but it doesnât invalidate the point that nothing good comes from working with Republicans. Most of the worst laws that came to Billâs desk came with veto-proof majorities in Congress or were part of veto-proof bills (like the NDAA).
So I guess Hillary will continue to âreach out to Republicansâ, and every time she does, they will take another step backwards and to the right. Will she follow?
This article tones down what Hillary said. She suggested that she would do more to woo Republicans and also that she would take a more assertive stance toward global crises. Thatâs just about the last two things I would want from a Democratic nominee. How about trying to woo liberals and the old-fashioned, long-abandoned Democratic base (working people)? It seems to me that Obama and the Clintons are duking it out to see who can be the leader of the Republican wing of the Democratic Party. I say no more triangulation. I want a real Democrat.
The Republican definition of compromise is âgive us 99% of what we want, and weâll throw a few crumbs your wayâ. Iâd love to see compromises, but not using that definition.
The only way you read this as dissing Obama is if you ignore what she actually said about him.
Wall Street Journal is ginning up outrage, HuffPo piled on, and now TPM joins the parade.
I wish the constant unrelenting focus on everything Hillary says or does would just go the f$ck away until she announces. This constant parsing and selective quoting does nothing except piss a lot of people off for no good reason.
There is âcompromiseâ, and there is âselling outâ. When Republicans, in the minority, get 90% of what they want and Dems get a consolation prize, what would you call that? For example, Republicans get permanent tax cuts increasing the deficit, and Dems get a few more months extension of unemployment. call that a win?
Backstab other politicians, have at it. Backstab your constituency, ride off into the sunset and fast.
Thatâs a little disingenuous. It is Hillary that decided to write and promote her book nonstop at this point in time. Sheâs playing with us. I donât care for that.
Guess Hillary never noticed that Obama got more done in 4 years in office than Bill got done than 4. Line-up Obamaâs record versus Billâs and it is no contest. And Obamaâs working with a crazier GOP and a Democratic Party who does nothing but stab him in the back. I canât believe she is still pushing that BS about Obama giving pretty speeches and nothing else. He did more in 2 years in the Senate than she did in 8.
Sheâs learned nothing since 2008 and she is going to turn off the Dem base quickly if she keeps going down this bullshit path.
The point about working hard to reach out to the other side and not getting anything back is a good one. Republicans talk about how Obama wonât compromise, what they mean is he wonât roll over and rubber stamp their policies. Good for him, and he could be tougher in that regard. And Obamaâs tack in 2014 to say, these guys wonât work with me, if they give me a sign that they have changed their mind I will try again, in the meantime, executive action; I think that is good, as long as he has permanently purged his willingness to offer or accept cuts to SS, Medicare, etc.
True enough-- though the craziness was really bad in my recollection. But is there anyone who thinks that gender wonât also be a factor should Hillary be elected? Good grief.
Right. And so, I think, the best thing Hillary could be doing now is to campaign not so much for herself as for Democratic congressional candidates in the fall elections.
Sheâs a liar. Anyone who could tell that Bosnia sniper story repeatedly with a straight face has issues with the truth. If she was a man, that lie alone would have rendered her unelectable to the presidency. And that wasnât the only whopper she told in 2008.
