Rahm Emanuel: Don't Worry About the Left
Commented Dec 19, 2009 at 15:59:52 in Politics
“at least bush and his rovian gang, knew to stick by their friends. to tell the truth, we hated bush, but there's very little meaningful change here. obama had two chances to step up to the plate on healthcare: 1) when he first took office and people were intimidated by his popularity and 2) after ted kennedy died, there would have been considerable sympathy for real reform. instead, he immediately signed off on more bailouts and surpluses and never used the bully pulpit. NADER!”

“Brando was one of the few film stars who had the guts to go beyond the safe, liberal mode of Hollywood thinking and get to the core of the deep seated causes of oppression, racism being one of the big ones. I'm thinking that he must have lost more than a few roles because of it.”

“The UK isn't about to tear up the statute book, change its laws and accommodate a single suspect to pacify temporary elected foreigners.
By the time it takes to change any law (which is unlikely anyway) Livni will be out of office.”

“Criminals, like Pinochet, would then be allowed to roam freely around the world without any repercussions for their past cruelties. Obviously, these decisions to prosecute must be on a case by case basis and do not translate into conviction.”

“Bush was able to push funding for two unpopular wars, bailouts for AIG and other financial institutions (now obviously not on the verge of collapse but simply on the verge of losing money). Obama enjoys greater popularity and more legislative support. What's wrong with this picture?”

“Is Lieberman for real? Are the democrats who let this spy for the other side of the aisle still going to allow him to caucus with them and keep his chairmanship? Has Al Gore admitted yet the grave error of choosing this cancer on the body politic to run with him in 2000?”

Health Care Reform: Sifting Through the Suboptimal Solutions
Commented Dec 12, 2009 at 06:19:15 in Politics
“good post by arianna. this so called reform, in reality just another chunk of red meat for the medical industry as we know it, is a good example of why the electorate keeps shifting away from both parties. at some point, we will stop holding our noses and pulling the levers and either vote for a third party or flat out revolt.”

“Mayor Bloomberg,
Is it true that under your administration, cabs continued to run amok in the city? that schools are still stressful environments producing mostly semi literate citizens? that dog do still creates stinky sidewalks? that empty storefronts have proliferated? that cops and firemen still earn low end salaries? that you've shoved a good deal of the poor into neighboring communities? that you're too chicken to take on the MTA?”
