The false Beltway script never changes
The same people who warned the Democrats they were going to lose in 2006 for opposing the President are saying the same thing now.
Glenn Greenwald [2007-10-21]

  • OT but important

    You're absolutely right, of course, Glenn. These people are pathetic.

    But what's driving me out of lurker mode is this: I see no sense of alarm in the left/progressive blogosphere that Hillary is probably going to be our candidate. Hillary, who has never stood up to Bush in any way that matters. Shouldn't we stop her? How do we stop her?

    It was clear 4 years ago that Dem primary voters don't have a clue on how to select an electable, or suitable, candidate. How can we turn the momentum to Edwards? Or Dodd, now that he has stepped up to the plate?

    You, Digby, FDL, and others, seem strangely silent on this issue. And given our strange, front-loaded primary system, maybe soon it will be too late.

    Why don't the other candidates have ads that point out that we have had a Bush or a Clinton in the number 1 or 2 spot for 27 years already? Isn't that enough?

    If nominated, she is likely to lose. If elected, she is CERTAIN to trash our progressive values, if not on the domestic front, then surely on the foreign policy front.

    Thoughts, anyone?
