The Clinton's bailing out Bush and now Kerry is saying that Massachusetts was wrong regarding civil unions...

What the fuck is wrong with this picture?

Democrats are winning the debate on Social Security.  They need to point out what they have been pointing out-that Social Security is not in crisis, that private accounts will not only bankrupt the system but involve huge benefit cuts to almost every American, and that any problem in the future can be solved by rather harmless solutions such as raising the cap on the wealthy for SS taxes.

As I have stated in the past, I have had enough of Bill Clinton's kissing the butt of the Bush family.  This is all a strategy to position Hillary in the middle.  She will sell out her base once she takes office.  The base should call a spade a spade and tell her and her disloyal, adulterous, lecherous husband to take a hike.

Democrats can do better.  We have done better, we are the party of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and the Great Society, the moral clarity and compassion of Jimmy Carter, the toughness of John Kerry, the compassion of John Edwards-we can do and have always done much better than this pathetic, self-serving, greedy and immoral pair of opportunists, Bill and Hillary Clinton.

I still have not forgiven Bill Clinton over signing Welfare Repeal -- nor will I ever.   He is breathtakingly cynical, and has proven time and time again that he will sell out the Democratic Party for his own personal political gain.

Democrats, get out of your startruck gaze at Bill Clinton and develop a backbone.  

I never quite understood the fascination that black people have with Bill Clinton.  I remember how Toni Morrison named him the "first black President" -- my gut feeling at the time was, "I doubt Lani Guinier would feel that way"

Query 1: Is Hillary DLC?

Query 2: Who the hell cares?

Query 3: Are Al From and the DLC going to back Clinton's play?

Query 4: Has this been their plan all along? Is this the reason the Democratic party has not officially adopted the them There is no crisis?

I don't know exactly how you target the turncoats, but they have to be made to pay a price. Lieberman is step one. Biden, Feinstein or Hillary will be step two. We have to have a Political Human Sacrifice organized by the netroots. It's not going to come from any other source.

The goal is to send the message to politicians in Washington. If you betray working class Americans, you lose your job.

Since the current debate is about Social Security, Clinton cannot resist the urge to draw attention to himself -- and he can't do that, unless he trumps GWB.

While he was president, I often said Bill Clinton's great failure was that he is a trimmer, following the latest polls.

A true statesman, like FDR, is always guided by the pole stars of conviction. Polls are useful for calibrating the message -- but if you have no principles, in the end you will only empower the Bush-Gingrich-DeLay Barbarians.

However, I see no reason why we should pounce on him and attack him as though he were a Republican. This is ridiculous. Can't Democrats tolerate Democrats who disagree with them? How on earth can Democrats make a comeback if we fight among ourselves?

Reserve your ire for Republicans and how they are trashing our country. Then discuss ways of improving our society.

The Clintons of Chappaqua:
Deb Orin of the New York Post chatted with the former president in Baltimore earlier this week and provides a months-early curtain raiser on the "Clinton Global Initiative" gathering he is organizing in New York this September. Orin has an early peek at some of the folks invited and expected to attend. LINK

The Wall Street Journal's Alan Murray interviews Bill Clinton about his Global Initiative:

"The Global Initiative will be funded by charging the companies that participate. Any funds left over after covering costs will go to the William J. Clinton Foundation, a nonprofit that pursues various global health, economic, political and social initiatives."

There was also nothing under the Social Security heading.

I just sent the following email:

I think an explanation is in order.

Why does Clinton do these things?  For money, or to convert conservatives to the side of the "force", or does he really want to be one of these guys?  Inquiring minds want to know?  When Clinton was in office and he paved the way for all these jobs to go elsewhere, did that indicate a workingman's Democratic leaning?  I think not.  In fact, it seems to me that a lot of Bush's outsourcing economic tendencies were put in place by big Bill.

Finally, I am going to hear Roy Neel speak tonight at a local Democratic gathering, which because of this hyperconservative location will be small.  Roy Neel use to be a Clinton Deputy Chief of Staff, and was Dean's campaign manager.  Is this guy a comitted progressive?  Is he like Clinton and the same question can be asked of Clinton?

Does anyone out there have any realistic opinions about Neel and/or questions you would suggest to be asked of him?

We need W to twist in the wind for as long as possible -- we've waited too long for W's arrogance and stupid bullheadness to put him in a box...  what the hell is Bill doing, cutting him a door?

(1.) Bill Clinton has just single handedly salvaged Bush's 60 day disaster campaigning to kill Social Security. Bush can get up in front of the whole nation and say "See? I was right. There is a Social Security crisis."

(2.) Republican accusations that Democrats are obstructionists have just been legitimized.

(3.) The slight chance that the Blair-Bush Iraq memo would make either the Sunday Funny Shows or the MSM is now dead. The only topic on the Sunday Funny Shows will be Bill Clinton agreeing with Bush that there is a crisis and we have to fix it this year.

(4.) Democrats are going to get their butts kicked on Social Security this weekend and from here on out. They were already doing bad enough as it is.

(5.) Is it too late to go back to the Senate and Impeach Bill Clinton?

... bears repeating.

Also, I've disagreed with Clinton on many issues, but I still feel he was a great president overall.  In my book he was too conservative, but I don't expect perfection or across the board agreement.

I think she us too smart for that.  I dont think she will have any plan at all.  Which makes me wonder, "what the hell was he thinking??"
