Reply #39: Hypocritical in what way?

[madfloridian]

Obama, Durbin, and Rahm picked Duckworth to run in IL 06. They did it. There was a good candidate already running. DFA national had not endorsed her, PDA stayed out of it at first, all to let the primaries play out.

But all the party big wigs, so called, started having national contests to see who could raise the most money for Duckworth, and insane sort of contest of power.

So how does hypocrisy fit in here? It is just plain choosing the candidate for that district, and practically slapping progressive groups in the face by doing it so loudly, so nationally.

Hypocrisy? NO. Power. They have the power. They got us into Iraq, they want us to stay there. They got the bankruptcy bill so the little people wouldn't hurt the big guys. They got the Patriot Act renewed so all the database corporations could make big dough.

Should I go on?
