The RW pundits will be in full, bloody battle cry today and they won't be alone.
Having come of political age in the 60s, from a Democratic home, I expect to be in the familiar position of defending against the old "tax and spend" charges.
--The War on Poverty, and specifically early childhood programs, was my first time of reckoning. Problems defined: "liberal" approach taken to attempt to solve them. In my case, the answer was yes.
--My parents spoke of the New Deal programs being utterly controversial. Then they would point to specific changes brought about in our small town.
From this perspective, HRC now puts liberalism on the line, open to attack from both sides. Get ready, friends, it's going to be a defining phase of this campaign.
And it's off to work for me.....
