Question for Ed Rendell. Why are you being a hypocrite? If Warren's known progressivism

[blm]

and now her refusal to accept corporate pac money for THIS presidential primary race, is now an issue for you and your more right-leaning audience, then why did you hold fundraisers for her in the first place?

Hypocrisy can work both ways if one chooses to view it that way. And I do.

When it was important for Dems to get rid of the very rightwing but telegenic Scott Brown they found a stellar candidate in Elizabeth Warren.

Why you mad now, bro?

1. He figured she'd stay bought but she wasn't bought in the first place.

Rendell is such a creep. Too bad he still has influence in the party.

[blm]

2. I always think of him undermining Gore and Kerry.

3. Fast talking Eddie is....well fast talking Eddie

Trying super hard to stay relevant.

4. Who cares what Fast Eddie has to say?

His nonsense in the Washington Post was an unnecessary hit piece.

If he as to offer up an opinion, let’s here what he has to say about the Traitor Occupant in the White House.

I have zero patience for this crap at this point.

6. Could be because of this.

“I mean, he raised some fair points,” the second adviser said about Warren saying she won’t hold high-dollar fundraisers while having transferred $10.4 million from her Senate campaign account that was raised partly from large contributions.

7. Read it. But why is Rendell being a hypocrite?

Fine to support Warren when Dems needed her, but, call her a hypocrite for not holding high dollar fundraisers as a presidential candidate because she wanted to use a different, more people driven approach?

Why did he support a known economic progressive in the first place? Why didn’t he convince a more bank industry friendly candidate to run against Brown?

[Eko]

8. No idea.

But it does seem a valid point that for her to use money raised by them last year in this election and then to be against it,,, that seems also hypocritical.

9. To run a national presidential campaign without

Large fundraisers should not be attempted because your past approach at fundraising was to follow the traditional model?

Wow.

[Eko]

10. To run it

using money raised from large donors while calling it out is hypocritical.

[blm]

12. She tried it the other way. Now she's trying it this way. If only she'd shut up about

What she didn’t like about the traditional model, all would be fine and Ed Rendell wouldn’t have drafted an opinion article to attack her the morning of a debate. Because Rendell really always wanted a progressive Democrat to lead the Dem party.

[Eko]

11. I think she should return the funds

that came from large donations if she wants to call others out for that. That's just what I think. That wont change my opinion of her very much, I think she will make a fine President as will any of our candidates.
