34. The Truth Hurts

Fri Dec 25, 2015, 12:35 PM

Dec 2015

At least when it comes to the Clinton's. I'm amazed so many are unaware of their history. I realize they were talking about Bill Clinton's private parts for the whole of the 1990's, but even I started paying attention to some of the stuff being done, yet never reported on at the end of his time in office.

The Democratic Party has lost its soul without supporting labor, when it began exporting jobs, and supporting trade agreements that did so. It's not going to exist well on liberal social issues, but pretty much agreeing with Republicans on wars without end, on corporate entanglements, with exporting jobs through trade agreements, and keeping the wages of the poorest down as low as possible.
