Let’s Call Establishment Democrats What They Really Are: REPUBLICANS - Ring of Fire [View all]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by tammywammy (a host of the General Discussion forum).

The Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia is going to be sponsored by the worst of the worst. Healthcare lobbyists, proponents of fracking, and even Comcast will be hosting the event, as DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz has decided to lift the convention’s ban on lobbyists. America’s Lawyer™ Mike Papantonio talks about the fall of the Democratic Party with Thom Hartmann.



Time to throw Pap under the bus, Hillary supporters

Let's see. . .what good liberals have been thrown under the bus this primary season by good Democrats that put party over principle?

Susan Sarandon.
Mike Malloy
Cenk Uyger
Rosario Dawson
Seth Macfaralane
Sarah Silverman
Thom Hartman
Most Bernie Sanders supporters (if not all)

I guess it's Mike Papantonio's time to get thrown under the bus for saying that Democrats are now Republican Lite.
