masswaster commented on the blog post C. Wright Mills Explains the End of Liberalism
liberals responded to the attacks of the political gangsters defensively, only trying to preserve the accomplishments of the New Deal, and the formal aspects of Civil Liberties, but not advancing on any new fronts

People don’t like the Heritage Foundation / GOP / Mitt Romney health insurance plan enacted by Democrats?
Who could have foreseen it?

I’m glad I didn’t waste any of my time with this much ado about nothing confirmation crisis about a Republican nominated by a Democrat and opposed by Republicans.

masswaster commented on the blog post Late, Late Night FDL: Don’t Stop
It always struck me as odd that the theme don’t stop believing in tomorrow was being sung by an over the hill band from the 70s. But who knew then that the direction Clinton would ultimately take was that of the GOP?

masswaster commented on the blog post Obama Really Wants to Play Debt Ceiling Chicken
Let’s get something straight – Obama WANTS to cut Social Security. It isn’t wining if the other sides caves in and gives him what THEY want.

masswaster commented on the diary post Health Insurance Is Not Healthcare by JP Sottile.
Never did get why Democrats called it “health care” reform when it was actually health insurance reform. It would have been a lot easier to sell as such. But then, maybe they didn’t really want to succeed.

masswaster commented on the blog post Congressional Dems Begin Pushing for Unilateral Solution to the Debt Limit
Obama will never declare the debt ceiling unconstitutional because then he couldn’t use it as the excuse to give in to Republican hostage takers’ demands.
Talk about kllling the goose….

Only in the village.

masswaster commented on the blog post Susan Rice Withdraws From Consideration for Secretary of State
So which is worse – that sexist racists McCain and friends have forced Amb. Rice to withdraw her name from consideration for Sec of State – or that Obama has once again preemptively capitulated?
Does not bode well that new bold Obama has already reverted to spineless old Obama. Look for big budget capitulation to follow
