RE-WRITING HISTORY........NICE TRY BUT NO CIGAR...
Gabe Horwitz, director of Third Ways economic program, said moderates have been arguing the case for rebranding the Democratic Party around the middle class and middle-class prosperity.
In the last election, Democrats, as a party, offered a message of fairness. Voters responded, and they responded really negatively, Horwitz said. Democrats offered fairness, and voters wanted prosperity and growth.

"Voters wanted Prosperity and Growth." What are you fucking stupid? Of course that's what they want, that's what they want every election.
However, some of us are tired of doing all the work while all the growth goes to the prick in his Italian suit chatting on the phone all day and taking 3 Martini lunches.
I figured out a few weeks ago that in order to make what my boss earns in a single day, I would have to work 250 WEEKS(and those are 70-80 hour weeks folks). 5 years to make what my boss makes in a single day. I'm not the only one either, 90% of us are getting fucked over. And 100% of us are tired of it.
I'm sorry, if I work 80 hours a week, I should be able to afford more than the "bronze" plan, I should be able to afford to send my kids at a minimum to community college. I'm lucky if I can keep the medical bills paid. And I'm good at my job and make decent money(well decent for 2006, last time I saw a raise)...
This guy is lying, whether or not he knows he is matters not, all his lies can do are bring more pain to his constituents.

(49 posts)while the well clothed and fed from both the Democratic section and Republican mass tsk tsk at us down their noses when someone like Warren dares makes some noise for us without voices. People are getting sick of it all. The Republicans are 100% into this but more so called Democrats are joining in the club of the snooty snoots. It must stop.

This morning, this obscenely dishonest characterization of the Democratic wing of the Democratic party appears in The Hill.
At the same time, Howard Dean badmouthing Elizabeth Warren's highly effective use of language. Et tu, Howard? (I guess he's looking for a job in the next Clinton administration.)
Next, Warren Buffett comes up to bat, and virtually repeats Dean's accusations of E.W. Hmm, ya think Third Way sent out coordinated talking points?
Then somebody in the inner sanctum of the non-campaign campaign of Our Next President (all hail to the lady Clinton, let us all give thanks) leaks that She Who Must be Nominated will officially announce in April. Oh, and how is she funding this ginormous non-campaign staff assembled in her name?
Hmm, if I didn't know better, this would sure look like she's clearing the field in advance of her potentially more popular and electable competition.
And I haven't been on DU much today. Does anyone have additional examples?

Didn't HRC and EW have a private meeting last week. Maybe that get together didn't go too well, so they started to unleash the first wave of dogs.
