152. Tell it to Obama then because that's what he called himself, a moderate Republican.
Tue May 10, 2016, 03:51 PM
May 2016

And all one needs to do is look at his policy to know he is correct. He as ABSOLUTELY not a liberal. You are buying into the RW smears about him if you think that. They are the ones who spread that meme. Just compare his policies and record to an actual liberal and you will see. Or just believe what he said about himself.

So you should send him an email telling him to stop being snarky I guess.

My name is a conspiracy theory.

You are showing yourself to not know the history of the Democratic Party if you think I am throwing out purity tests. You know the Dem Party used to stand up for unions and not throw them under the bus? They used to NEVER even THINK about offering up SS but Obama did it and now others are doing it too. It's not just for Republicans anymore. They are beholden to banksters and corporate money - that's why the DLC existed, to turn Dems into a party that courted big business and guess who led the Dem Party to do that? Bill Clinton. Bernie's policies are in line and almost exactly the same as FDR's. You know, the guy who brought you the New Deal. He's quite different than the current Dem leaders who bring you Republican health insurance programs without even trying for a public option, let alone single-payer. I don't believe anyone in his administration ever called liberals "fucking retards" and I don't think he ever told liberals to STFU.

No, today's Dem leadership has little in common with the New Deal Democrats. They have moved center to court big business and now a Democratic president actually pushes for the TPP, enacted NAFTA, refuses to regulate banks, let alone break them up. The front runner Democratic Primary candidate agrees with and supports many of the same things that Republicans have. She lied about what was in a classified document as an excuse for her vote for the IWR.

Do you really not know this stuff and then actually have the gall to post an ignorant rant about purity and conspiracy theories?

Too bad DU has fallen to the depths of yahoo comments.
