"Congressman John K. Delaney, what the hell are you talking about?
In a recent Washington Post op-ed piece, headlined, The last thing America needs? A left-wing version of the Tea Party, the Democratic congressman from Maryland scolds progressives and expresses his worry about where some of the loudest voices in the room could take the Democratic Party.
He writes, Rejecting a trade agreement with Asia, expanding entitlement programs that crowd out other priorities and a desire to relitigate the financial crisis are becoming dominant positions among Democrats. Although these subjects may make for good partisan talking points, they do not provide the building blocks for a positive and bold agenda to create jobs and improve the lives of Americans.
Rep. Delaney even implies that a freewheeling, open discussion of these subjects could lead to the election of a Republican president."
