coopts the language and style of the right. It is as if I am the Bizarro World version of Frank Luntz.

If you like the page Trickle Down Economics is a Hoax, every time you start typing it on Facebook, or in Facebook comments like on Politico, it becomes a link

Reaganomics and is on record as saying the reason she was a member of an anti gay, anti choice, racist Party was that she only cared about economic policy and she felt the Reagan economic policies were superior to those of the Democrats for most of her adult life.....

People do change their views over time. That said however, there is doubt about Warren because many of us who were politically aware back then knew what Reagan and his appropriation of Nixon's "southern strategy" was about ( your words are very apt here — anti gay, anti choice, racist Party — and may I add "foolishess in believing that trickle down economics would actually benefit anyone but the rich&quot .

Guess we'll have to keep our fingers crossed, hope she is sincere in her progressivism, and see how this all plays out.

I'm hoping she's the real deal but I have no blinders on.
