69. I think Clyburn is full of shit.

He's just doing his Third Way attack dog routine. Nobody is above criticism when they're wrong. And by propagating this untruth, he's doing more damage to his AA constituents. With free college, which is the rest of the civilized worlds standard, more AA would be able to attend college, and attain a better life, and raise their standard of living.

This is a red herring. A good friend of mine founded free public kindergarten in New Hampshire years ago, and thats the exact argument her opponents used to try to kill it. That it would destroy private kindergartens. Today they still exist side by side, and everyone, not just the rich, get the advantage of early education.

After that, she was elected to the School Board, Alderman, and State Legislature. After she moved to Florida, she ran for State Senate, against one of he most corrupt incumbents in Florida. But, she got zero support from the DLC, New Dem, Third Way assholes running the Florida Democratic Party.
