18. The Third Way wants no labels because they would so obviously be labelled as Republicans.

What Democratic organization is afraid to reveal their source of funding? Why would one funding source control both the GOP and the DLC? So they can pull all the levers?

Any wonder why Hillary is so non-committal on liberal causes until a cause might run away with a loss of votes (when she borrows Bernie's or Elizabeth's platform)? Could it be that she wants our votes, but not our compassion nor ideas, nor concerns, or burdens? Is Hillary dedicated to saving the middle class or the lower class? She did wag her finger at NASDAC. I guess she feels that's all we deserve.
