What do you people know? Ed Rendell is on MSNBC gushing about

[senseandsensibility]

Obama's offer. Who are you going to side with? Bernie Sanders or Ed Rendell? He says the move is "courageous". So quit your whining.

[hrmjustin]

1. No contest my heart is with Sanders.

[MrSlayer]

2. Fast Eddie is a total huckster.

Third way, corporodem all the way.

[senseandsensibility]

3. You can't always get what you want, says Rendell

No, but if you try, you can get what you need (or what your contributor or employer needs) to butcher the Stones. Thanks, Eddie. I feel better now.

[City Lights]

4. He loves to hear himself talk.

Can't say that I enjoy listening to him.

[JHB]

5. Russian Roulette is "courageous" too...

...that doesn't make it good policy, nor smart politics.

[neverforget]

6. This won't affect him so why should he care? He's set for life along with all

the politicians and businesses that are driving this shit.

[Jack Sprat]

7. Courageous in what way?

For saddling the most vulnerable for the excesses of war profiteers, bankers, and those who hide their income in foreign accounts? Our politicians are shit. So is Rendell.

[AzDar]

8. Was watching, and cursed so loudly my children came in to see what was going on.

Never liked that fool...

[DearHeart]

9. Hate Ed Rendell with a passion!! I'll stand with BERNIE any day!!

The move is not courageous, its a load of bullshit! Obama wants to be the "DEM" who cut entitlements...part of the legacy. I say fuck that!! I'm sorry I even voted for the jerk! Twice!!

[TheKentuckian]

10. Fuck "Fast" Eddie, sellout motherfucker.

[russspeakeasy]

20. As meatloaf said

you took the words right out of my mouth...

[haikugal]

11. Rendell is a complete tool!

Ugh!

[senseandsensibility]

12. I have to say I am also disappointed with Al Sharpton's

studiously neutral tone about this as well. I know he vowed to never criticize this prez, but c'mon.....Jared Bernstein also seemed to be pushing the cuts.

[leveymg]

13. I used to like Ed. Now he's an investment banker.

Is there more that can be said?

14. 'Fix the Debt' Shill Ed Rendell Argues for Chained CPI and Raising Medicare

http://crooksandliars.com/john-amato/fix-debt-shill-ed-rendell-argues-chaine

Here at C&L, I and a few others been bashing MSNBC and demanding that Ed Rendell be kicked off for impersonating a Democrat. He shouldn't be allowed to go on the air since he joined up with a gang of rich, arrogant scumbags, fronting for a group called Fix The Debt. They are demanding that working class Americans and seniors pay for the federal deficit that the wealthy elites on Wall Street created by having their social safety nets gutted. So when Susie says Rendell is no liberal, she's absolutely right!

Apparently, MSNBC hasn't heeded our message and put this vacuous fool back on the teevee. Listen to his moronic rant on what the President should be doing about the federal debt so conservatives can screw most of the people in America because they refuse to deal in reality.

RENDELL: And he has to also deliver a message to Democrats that we're going to have to compromise. Now give the President credit, he said he would consider chained CPI, he said back in 2011 that he would raise the age limit on Medicare with carve-outs. Those are things he's going to have to deliver if we're going to get Republicans to go along with more increased revenue and doing something finally on the debt. But only one person can take this on his shoulders and cross the finish line and that's the President of the United States. He has to lead.

15. Looks like he won.

He must be having trouble hiding his glee when he's on the TV. Jerk.

[CK_John]

16. Bernie is an army of one with no clout. Bernie couldn't get a parking ticket fixed.

[senseandsensibility]

17. Um Hmm

Cool. So as I said in my OP, who are going to side with?

[Cleita]

18. Bernie gets my loyalty every time. n/t

[winter is coming]

19. Yeah, 'cause there's nothing braver than ripping off the elderly. n/t

[Sheldon Cooper]

21. Aw jesus christ Ed Rendell is a giant asshole.

[geek tragedy]

[ananda]

[L0oniX]

[senseandsensibility]

27. Really?

Care to expand on that?

[forestpath]

26. Ed Rendell is why I stopped watching MSNBC. What a sleazy snake oil salesman.

[kenny blankenship]

28. Ed's only BLUFFING! C'mon! Jeeze!

you can't really think that he, or any Democrat -like the majority of the Progressive Caucus which refused to sign a letter calling on Obama to veto any attempt to cut the safety net - really actually mean to go through with cuts to the safety net. I mean really.[i/i]

[PCIntern]

29. Eddy told Al to quit before the recount...

And he was head of the DNC at the time.

Just ,like a Reug old do to his on....yeah...not in a billion years.

[Auntie Bush]

30. None of the rich guys in politics will ever have to live on SS...so what do they care?

They just want a compromise and get the government running...so what's a little less SS?
Unless you are trying to live on it...every penny counts.

Oil and gas prices keep raising, so does food, medical, prescriptions and everything else. Yet S.S. goes up a couple dollars and now in the future even less. SS doesn't add to the deficit! Damn, I get madder as I type!

[PA Democrat]

31. Rendell is nopt much more than a corporate toady with a D after his name.
