ave "Latte Liberals" managed to shut out Working Class Democrats Again?

[stravu9]

Will the working class EVER be represented by the Democratic Party Again?

[annie1]

1. Aren't latte liberals voting barack over hillary?

[Proud2BAmurkin]

12. Yes they are but don't confuse them with the facts

[Essene]

24. Only the ones under 45 =)

[HughMoran]

39. Yes, that seems to be the trend

Not sure who the O/P is referring to though? Edwards?

[water]

2. I'm pretty sure that "latte liberals" work, too.

[stravu9]

4. the one's I know hang at the Country Club

that's what I see/
except for the College Profs.who dwell in academia.

[HughMoran]

41. Narrow minded stereotyping is so foolish!

What planet are you from?

[shenmue]

3. Class prejudice cuts both ways.

You seem to resent people who like to drink coffee. As if they're not as good as you or they're not people. They work, too, or don't they matter? As if they're the callous rich? Get real.

[stravu9]

5. the rich ARE Callous, because they don't HAVE TO WORRY EVERY DAY

and class warfare is waged from the top down!

[water]

6. Exactly. There is nothing wrong with being successful.

What is wrong is using the taxpayer to give corporate subsidies/contracts to supporters (thank you Republicans).

[stravu9]

50. That's Right !

And John Edwards Is a PERFECT EXAMPLE OF AMERICAN SUCCESS STORY!
A Crusading Lawyer ,like something out of a John Grisham novel!
Standing up to Corporate America!

[ElizabethDC]

25. Exactly. Thank you. n/t

[tritsofme]

7. Its trendy for the "latte liberals" in the cocktail circuit to support Obama.

Its the working and middle class Democratic base that is breaking for Hillary.

[Adelante]

8. Working class Democrats are voting for Hillary Clinton

They are not shut out.

[stravu9]

11. With the Rupert Murdoch photo ops and the close ties to Wal Mart?

really?

[JI7]

23. for whatever reason it was, they voted for her and she won Nevada

[stravu9]

26. Do You REALLY Think She can win Nationally?

I don't.

[Jai4WKC08]

55. I think she's got a better chance than anyone else in the race

It's just a given that the Repubs will smear our nominee. They are very good at it.

Our only chance is someone who can fight back effectively, and who isn't afraid to go on the offense. Hillary knows what she's doing. She'll do as well as anyone can.

[stravu9]

56. I am uncomfortable with her connections to people frankly consider to be evil

Rupert Murdoch, Sam Walton!
UGGH!

[LoZoccolo]

9. Are you talking about liberals who live in big-ass houses with indoor recreation facilities...

...who get $400 haircuts?

[stravu9]

13. Edwards is a poor kid made good, Obama has land problems of his ownand ther

isn't much you can do for his hair he hardly has any!

[LoZoccolo]

20. Right, so you shouldn't stereotype people for drinking lattes and having money. n/t

[stravu9]

21. can't wait for the scandal to break on OBAMA!

you are now blocked Buh bye.

[LoZoccolo]

22. WAIT! WAIT! Before you put me on ignore...

...made you look.

[HughMoran]

43. He put me on ignore after I asked him a simple question

This person is a troll, plain and simple.

[dajoki]

15. That's uncalled for...

WTF does that have to do with anything? As an Edwards supporter that's insulting and completely unnecessary, I wish we could get over these kind of low ball attacks. Now, although I support Edwards, I will have no problem supporting the eventual nominee, whoever that may be, in the GE. Can you do that?

[navarth]

16. no you didn't use the $400 haircut horseshit

he paid the guy $400 because he had to wait around and he missed his other appointments. Edwards did the right thing and made the money up to the guy.

Don't do that shit. That's for the Republicans.

We're the people that show more class than the Republicans. Remember?

Please keep it real, people

[sniffa]

18. ...

:spray:

[stillcool]

10. For me the question is..

Did they ever? I need to freshen up on some reality..
There's an online library that offers out of print books for free download such as..

The Rich and the Super Rich -Lundberg, Ferdinand. New York: Lyle Stewart, 1968.
Shows with overwhelming evidence who rules and specifically how they rule. Although decades have passed since this book was written and the individuals have changed, the families in power haven't changed. This book allows someone with perceptiveness to look through the news, peek behind distractions of current events and see what probably is really happening. OUT OF PRINT

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

14. Will the working class EVER vote for your candidate?

Maybe working class voters gets to vote for who they want.

[stravu9]

46. I REGISTER PEOPLE TO VOTE EVERY DAY....

And they would vote for "my candidate " if we got to hold our Primary 1st!

[Tulkas]

17. Lets not divide the party with that kind of talk

I am an Obama supporter and will never vote for Hillary, not even if she is running against Romney!!!

(I will stay home that day)


But.... that type of talk is uncalled for. Attack the Clintons, not the people who exercised their right to vote for the candidate of their choice.

[stravu9]

19. BAH!

you ain't no John Lennon.

[NoPasaran]

30. You're no Guy Fawkes

[stravu9]

45. And HOw Would You Know That???

Remember the end of the film" All the People in their "V" capes and hats and Guy Fawkes masks! WE ARE ALL "V" if we choose to be!

[auburngrad82]

27. Don't you mean the "Hollywood Liberals"?

I'll drink a latte from time to time. I drink beer sometimes too. And I've even had a glass of milk before. Two days ago I drank water by accident. But guess what? I was voting Dem long before there was a Starbucks on the corner.

BTW, what exactly do "Working Class Democrats" drink? Chardonnay or Merlot? Earl Grey Tea? Just wondering.

[stravu9]

28. potato / potahto

it's all one.
They are the ones who don't have to work everyday, worry about paying doctor bills, house payments car payments.
6 figure incomes and up!

[auburngrad82]

29. You mean a Republican? nt

[stravu9]

31. I Mean a "Social Liberal" and a "fiscal" Conservative.

There are lots of them!

[auburngrad82]

32. Define fiscal conservative

Do you mean fiscally conservative, ie balance the budget, don't waste money on "bridges to nowhere" etc, or do you mean fiscally conservative, ie cut taxes and social programs so that all that's left is money for wars?

The second one would be bad, the first one is not so bad.

[stravu9]

34. Sure.

know how the Federal Reserve decides how much the bloated excess $$$ of the wealthy is worth.
The Fed chairman decides on interest rates. They chairmen have seldom changed when the office of the Presidency has changed hands from carter to reagan, from Bush I to Clinton.

This speaks volumes as to how working class Americans will live. Clinton and Carter did less to help the working class than Nixon did . Middle Class incomes have not increased in REAL Dollars since the 1970's!

Read Paul Krugman, William Grieder, Kevin Phllips.

[auburngrad82]

35. I've read Krugman and Phillips

But not Grieder.

So which president did the most for the working class during the last 50 years and how?

[stravu9]

40. Lydon Johnson

War ON POVERTY,Medicare, Medicaid, Civil Rights,National Endowment for the Arts and well, lets see...

* 1964: Civil Rights Act of 1964
* 1964: Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964
* 1964: Wilderness Act
* 1964: Nurse Training Act

* 1967: Age Discrimination in Employment Act
* 1967: Public Broadcasting Act of 1967
* 1968: Bilingual Education Act
* 1968: Fair housing Act

That enough?

[auburngrad82]

42. Whew. I was afraid you would pick a Republican

You'd already eliminated every other Democratic president of the last half century.

But didn't he have the largest government in history until Reagan and then Bush Jr beat his record?

[stravu9]

44. If I Were To Choose a REPUBLICAN My Union Organizer Grandfather Would Rise From His Grave And Come

For ME!
Look, Big Government is here to stay, The QUESTION IS WHOM WILL IT SERVE??
The Privileged few or the MANY?
I Vote for the many!

[auburngrad82]

33. Oh wait. I forgot to ask- are you attacking social liberals or fiscal conservatives? nt

[stravu9]

36. Both

BLESS THE CHILD OF A WORKING MAN!

[styersc]

37. I'm a Green Tea Progressive for...

... a ban on those Peach and Citrus flavored Green Teas- they are nasty.

[stravu9]

47. I like Peach Tea

there is some in my fridge now!

[styersc]

52. Peach Tea is an abomination.

Its worse then those big marshmallow peanuts that are banana flavored.

Peaches are great and green tea is great but ne'er the twain shall meet.

I have spoken.

[stravu9]

53. A Peach Tea Separatist, Eh?

I may have to report you to my support group!

[Chovexani]

38. LOL

[stravu9]

48. Is That a Self Portrait?.

.

[Chovexani]

49. No, that would be you, sweetums.

Are you the model that comes with the magic jewel in the belly? I love those!

[stravu9]

51. Actually I'm quite sure it more resembles you.

You are much more like something that would lurk beneath abridge and frighten small children and now you join the ignore list.
bu bye!

[LostinVA]

54. "latte liberals"is a RW slur/meme with no place on DU

[stravu9]

57. I Disagree

But Then I'm not one.

[stravu9]

58. But You Can Call Me An Environmental Wacko if it makes you feel any better!

:-)
