They're PINOs, progressives in name only, and in the case of Huffington, she's a one time Republican who hangs around with Henry Kissinger and the Bilderberg group. <br /><br />Sure, Jane Hamsher sometimes shows signs she can't see the forest for the trees, like a lot of radical progressives...so she's flip-flopped.<br /><br />Pretty weak-willed, if they can't stay the course, and step up the activism they showed 2 years ago.KaJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11043005602676549904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512362.post-80012459571430655352010-09-27T11:49:24.809-04:002010-09-27T11:49:24.809-04:00Obama's presidency is more demonstration that ...Obama's presidency is more demonstration that whoever controls the narrative reigns supreme. Instead of arguing that elites were irresponsible (ie. "they drove the car into a ditch") he could have made the case that for fundamental reform ("ie., this car is broken"). <br /><br />Conservatives would have hated him but they do already--their rhetoric can't get more castigatory. Although we'll never know for certain, the public, I think, would have backed him. They were ready to reward boldness, punish Congress, the bureaucracy, etc.<br /><br />If Obama wins reelection he might score points for the successes you mention. If he loses I have doubts that the GOP will undo everything (health care, education, entitlements, they won't spend two minutes addressing the merits, the politics would force their willing hands).Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13419974740123262249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512362.post-85062102649720355912010-09-27T11:26:34.177-04:002010-09-27T11:26:34.177-04:00" The "progressive left" which cont..."
