Ya know whutcha gotta wonder?

[Stinky The Clown]

Ya gotta wonder why Democrats are out there condemning any negative mention of Bain Capital.

No matter how fast they walk it back, the fact is, their words are out there. Ask Mayor Hero Cory Booker. Ask Ed Rendell.

I think its the desire to have it both ways.

Thanks what I think.

'constituents'. That's clear as a bell.

2. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

She ran away.

and I wonder

where she will stay.



I think Salon summed it up fairly well.

"What’s happening here really isn’t that complicated. Booker, like many Democrats (especially in the New York/New Jersey area), spent years cultivating Wall Street and the investor class. He was better at it than most, building an enviable network of elite financial supporters by leveraging personal ties (from his Stanford/Yale/Oxford days) and convincing them that he shared their basic worldview.

In the Clinton-era, this was a standard part of the Democratic playbook, but in post-meltdown America, intimate ties to Wall Street can be poisonous inside the party. Booker, who likes to portray himself as a third way/new politics figure, clearly didn’t appreciate this before Sunday. And now, with Democratic activists turning on him, he’s scrambling to put out the fire – without completely contradicting himself or permanently alienating the Wall Street base that will still be crucial to his statewide political aspirations."

3. Bain Capital owns Clear Channel Communications.

What was that old saying, "Don't pick fights with people who buy ink by the barrel?"

Democrats are careful not to upset their corporate masters, lest they face the consequences.
