Succinct. Eloquent. An accurate description of today's politics.

This from blogger 'flutie' on JSOnline blog this morning.


"In case anyone is having a hard time understanding our current political situation, this is how it works: the big players get bigger and more successful on the backs of the little guys. Republicans are OK with that; Democrats aren't. "



Thank you flutie.

1. I think it's giving Democrats too much credit.

Clearly many DEMs are ok w. this.

Ergo... it might be succinct, but it's not even close to accurate.

6. My impression is Wisc. DEMs are a different breed. They...

7. Yep, we've got a bunch of good ones....

Russ Feingold

Jon Erpenbach

Lena Taylor

Gordon Hintz

8. The party's *always* been alive and awake up there.

At least since the sixties ( Proxmire, Nelson, the E. McCarthy clobbering of LBJ in the 68 primary, etc.).

The state.... not so much. Just when you think they've got it figured out they toss out the cure ( Feingold) in favor of the disease.

5. Exactly.

..... more accurate would be "a handful of dems are not ok with this".

9. Unfortunately some democrates are ...

Not all, maybe even not most but I wish we'd see fewer blue dogs.

But kick and rec, 'cause in general it is right on.

10. ....Most (R)s actively support this while most (D)s sit back and watch it happen

would be closer
