OMG Elizabeth Warren went there! Finally someone calls Hillary Clinton what she is

131. what is troubling to me...

The progressive left of the party was correct about just about everything when it came to that stupid war. In fact we have a history about being right about a lot of things from opposing cutting the estate tax to financial deregulation to pollution control.

The funny thing is despite being right most of the time about what actually happens there is an over represented part of the party that just happens to take the most bribes from bankers and insurance companies and war profiteers. The old DLC, the blue dogs, and now the Third Way represent that position and are wrong so often it is pitiful. Yet for the last couple of decades these corporate friendly democrats have wielded disproportionate power in office.

Even after the cycle of 2010 after they lost enormously by providing tons of filibuster cover for republicans they still held out. The numbers of blue dogs are lower than ever and the over all population is to the left of much of the democratic party on many of the issues and yet the party seems to constantly give into these corporate clowns.

I just do not understand how reasonable people can look to the most conservative democrat that ran in 2008 and say "yeah, that seems like a good idea.". I have yet to hear Hillary say anything to suggesting that she learned anything about economics or is willing to do more than minute hedging on economic issues.
