Democratic Turncoat Candidate Jim Webb Bashes Progressives; Cannot Be Trusted

[GoLeft TV]

Democratic presidential candidate Jim Webb has some harsh words for progressives: Stay out of the Democratic Party. But keep in mind that this message is coming from a candidate who only switched his party affiliation when it was politically expedient to win a Senate election. Webb does not speak for progressives, and his candidacy is already doomed.

Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss this.

2. Webb is a one trick pony. He is awful on womens issues, the economy, environment. Only good on

Veterans and military.

He only won because he was going against macaca boy George Allen - who had a NOOSE and confederate flag in his capital hill office, as part of 'southern heritqge'

3. In other words he's a LACKEY.............................

a blue dog LACKEY (snarky) wasn't going to vote for him anyway.
Got about 28 more blue dogs in congress one by the name of Delaney ----MD and 13 in the senate

Hey, Jim...........think of this next time your on fix noise-----spewing anti-progressive rhetoric

Honk -----------for a political revolution Bernie 2016

4. What space is he filling?

The space that Republicans filled about 10-15 years ago.

[HassleCat]

5. He's going nowhere fast

Leaving aside his glaring opportunism, his appeal is so narrow he will never speak to a national electorate.

6. Oh, good going Webb. That's a great

way to "win friends"! He's a DINO, anyway, so let him keep spouting his bs! Great video!

7. As they mention in the video, Webb's only out there to attack prog./populist

Dems. like Warren and Sanders. That's his role and the corps. are paying him to do it, Mike and Farren say.

8. what corporations?

question- can anybody actually listen to Webb? I really cannot listen to him any longer than I can listen to Trump. Please let's not waste too much time talking about Webb or Trump. They are diversions by the rich in order to drain some energy from real candidates on the Democratic side.

10. They didn't mention specific corporations. I realize Webb's yet another tool to attack opposition

and enhance Hillary's candidacy.

[NorthCarolina]

9. He's just doing his job,

working to make Hillary look like an actual progressive.

[Plucketeer]

11. I agree with you.

Defined by his actions, Webb is a Rethug at heart.

14. Too late. We've been here since the early 30's. How long have you been here Mr. Webb?

[MisterP]

15. Jim "Rules of Engagement" Webb? was Don Black busy?

[Doctor_J]

16. then don't complain when we don't vote for you or Hillary or other dinos, senator

[geek tragedy]

17. Jim Webb, the guy whose job it is to make Hillary look liberal. nt

18. Please Forgive Me When I Gave Jim Webb a Good Rating

On my report card for all the 5 Democratic candidates at that recent appearance in Iowa. Jim Webb sounded like he was a true progressive in his speech there - but I suppose that that event was not a place for him to show his true colors. It's interesting that my initial gut feeling about him when he got up to speak was so lackluster and uninspiring - I should have paid closer attention to my gut. Oh well - it's still fairly early on in the campaign, and I'm still in the learning and fact finding stage, it seems. I suppose that I gotta remember that not all that glitters is gold. So this is why I've heard words like "stealth" and "turncoat" used to describe him...

19. He didn't object to our money, labors on his behalf, or votes in 2006

my one and only time to hit the streets for a candidate, so the ingratitude burns
