Stabbed in the back twice
First time: when Pelosi and Reid sold us up the river for a handful of shekels or blackmail or stupidity or blind ignorance. Or just to keep the power structure in place.

Second time: When Ferrarro spewed and spewed and spewed and continues to spew statements that one would expect to come from the mouths of Rush Limbaugh or David Duke -- and almost half the Democratic Party chooses to ignore it, or quietly winks at it, because their candidate of choice ignores it or "winks at it".

This shit has to end.

1. I'd say 3 times...
With the McCain CIC Threshold comments, undermining any of our Dem candidates. In the end, it undermines the party.

3. I'm having the very same problem, and I grew up in a very loyal
Democratic family & community. This is tearing me up inside, and I feel absolutely lost. My longheld Democratic icons are being unmasked, and it's not pretty.

The only good I see coming out of all this, is that finally this could provide the impetus for a real viable third party option. I want to have more choices.

7. that is becoming very true as progressive is redefined as sexist allowed political correct talk -but
no action on anything.

Obama's econ adviser told Kudlow on CNBC that no deficit impact of Obama programs as they will not pass.

Hillary would produce real change - which is why she frightens so many in power.

5. Ferrarro is no racist -has lifetime of constant large giving into AA community - said only that
"concept of a black president" is driving many to vote for Obama - and noted that the concept of a women vice president was pushing her in 84.

She said this in an out of the way tiny meeting and it had no legs/no PR/was not picked up in the national press - that is it had no legs until Obama played the race card one more time and misrepresented what she was saying so as to score points with his supporters as the "victim".

You would think the 10th time he pulled the same race card via the same technique the media would be all over him - the fact that they are not reveals a sexist bias as seen on KO's Countdown on MSNBC - A program I no longer watch.

8. Wow -- that's a pretty warped view considering
what Ferrarro has said the last few days, who she said it to, and why.

Sounds like some sort of weird propaganda spewing to me.
