22. Neither does this one. How did these stealth Republicans get so much control over our party?

Third Way’s policy and political work has been incorporated into President Obama’s State of the Union addresses, introduced in more than fifty bills in Congress, included as part of major bipartisan budget deals and the President’s Deficit Commission recommendations..." They aspire to be a neoliberal ALEC


Really? That's good to know, now we know where we have to begin to get rid of this poison from our party and send them back to where they belong.

No wonder there has been so much division in the Dem Party.

It explains too some things that I used to find so baffling. Votes in Congress eg where I expected all Dems would vote for or against, such as many of Bush's dreadful policies. And when I would see on the list of 'yes' votes, many Dems I used to be so frustrated, unable to understand. NOW we know why.

Time for us to get really active and rid the party of these infiltrators who are working against the people and for the MIC (airc, they support Neocon ME wars also) and Wall Street.

A good start is the new Coalition of Unions, Progressive Groups and SS advocates.

Obviously Dems were asleep when they allowed this hi-jacking of the Dem Party.
