95. Solid Mainstream Democrats are FIGHTERS for the working class, the elderly, disabled, children,

Fri Feb 20, 2015, 01:15 AM

Feb 2015

iow, the most vulnerable members of society. They will not take loyalty oaths to those who do not represent the Working Class.

Do YOU support the Democratic Party moving to the Right in support of Wall St rather than the Working Class, the poor, the disabled, the elderly?

Btw, where does Hillary stand on SS? She hasn't said. And how about Welfare Reform that has so damaged, women in particular?

What about a National HC system? And how about the TPP that is going to be devastating in terms of the working class, and yes, we DO know that now for a fact?

How about the Neocon wars she has supported, with devastating results, has she changed her mind on that?

What about prosecuting corruption on Wall St? Has she ever said anything about that?

I don't take loyalty oaths. That's for Right Wingers who blindly follow their 'leaders'. Democrats don't blindly follow.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised to be seeing this 'your are not a Democrat' garbage on a day when Giuliani uses the same tactic on President Obama. Right wingers do that, don't they, they ACCUSE people of not being 'patriotic' or 'loyal' enough when they disagree with them. But they never can offer their own opinions for discussion, because their opinions are so bad they know they cannot discuss them.

Shame you feel the need to emulate such a failed tactic. How about you tell us WHY Hillary is worthy of our support?

She did terrible at fund raising also! nt Logical Feb 2015 #45

Saying a twelve point lead is a thirty point lead doesn't seem Logical, ergo: DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2015 #12

Looking at the polls in 2008, it WAS accurate to say she lost that lead... cascadiance Feb 2015 #35
