"Democrats for Prosperity does sound Exactly like "Americans for Prosperity." Their handlers think we Dems should Co-Opt Repub Message so that we make Obama look Good and that is our Democratic Campaign Message."

What Stupid Think Tank thought that one UP! The same ones who infiltrated the Dem Party, imho. But, then...I'm sick of much of it and can be counted as biased. But...sheesh..can't we SEE how we are being Manipulated on the LEFT? And, who drove us Leftward? Our OWN DEM PARTY with this constant Think Tank, McKinsey Modeling, Wall Street Backing CRAP who have driven us (WHO WERE MAINSTREAM DEMS) TO FIGHT TO TAKE OUR PARTY BACK....or Go Form Another Party. DISGUSTING! But, if we have to....maybe it will come to it if Hillary wins the 2016...with her War Chest.

BTW: The Castro Brothers are the NEW HOPE. I think Joaquin is being pushed as Hillary's VP to bring in the Hispanic Vote because he's already in the Govt..but the other brother is the FAVE amongst the DEM OPS ..I'm reading are pushing.

Hey...they both might be great people....but it does smack of DINO, imho...also. Sick of not looking at the person and what they stand for but being told to vote by Race, Gender or Ethnic as a Dem. We are DEMS...and a mix of people. Can't we look at where our candidates REALLY STAND on issues? Many of us missed how Obama was a Reagan devotee. We heard his incredible speeches and wanted someone we thought had a background who could understand and relate to Average Americans. We got sold on rhetoric when there was nothing really in his background that identified with heartland America and the Poor other than his Mother and Grandparents background. We are told we didn't listen to him carefully and that he was never a progressive but a "Mainstream Dem" who would govern as one.

What the HELL IS A MAINSTREAM DEM? IMHO....A DINO...it seems.

Sorry ...on a rant...and really getting angry about the stuff flying around dissing Left Dems once again. I was a Mainstream DEM! WE were Pushed RIGHTWARD! NO MORE!

And the stupid-assed (IMO, of course) attempts to question Liz Warren about her switching twenty years ago? Bite me. Four or five years for a GOPer who really switched so he could beat an Allen West? Yeah, that was a change of heart, all right. Not.

They sound weirdly like Americans for Prosperity. One of the Castro brother belongs. Joaquin, so he is on my probable DINO list now.
