The left's secret club plans for 2014, 2016 (Pulling the country further to the left)
The Politico ^ | April 24, 2014 | Kenneth P. Vogel

Some of the country’s biggest Democratic donors — including Tom Steyer and Jonathan Soros — are huddling behind closed doors next week in Chicago with union bigwigs and progressive superstars like Bill de Blasio to plan how to pull their party — and the country — to the left.

The setting is the annual spring meeting of the Democracy Alliance, a secretive club of wealthy liberals that’s the closest thing the left has to the vaunted Koch brothers’ political network.

The DA, as the liberal group is known to insiders, is increasing its ranks of rich donors for the first time in years and is gearing up to spend huge sums on political data, voter registration, ground organizing and advertising to influence the 2014 midterms and 2016 presidential elections. Potentially more significant, the groups’ donors also could play an important role in determining whether the post-Barack Obama Democratic Party embraces the rising tide of progressive populism or hews to a more cautious, centrist course — in other words, whether the Hillary Clinton wing or Elizabeth Warren wing will seize the reins....

This is what is behind destroying the middle class and getting as many people as possible on public assistance.

one can only pray that someday Soros (daddy and now sonny) will have an epiphany, reverse course, and start supporting America, western civilization and our individual liberties, and Judeo- Christian values in general.

imagine how much good they could do, if they’d only do a _U-ie and start spending their $$$$ on things that are positive and help people

Elizabeth Warren has “a wing”? Sit back and let that sink in for a moment. She’s been a senator for how long? Before that?

If I didn’t know any better I’d say that the Democrat Party is looking for another Obama-like “blank slate” that they can foist upon the low-information voters next election.

Don’t think it’s going to work, though. Granny Warren is not an attractive candidate.

How are you going to pull the Democrat Party further to the left?

When I lived in Japan, I accepted some pass-out literature from the Japan Communist Party on one morning commute just to read for laughs.

They are way to the right of today's Democrat Party on most issues.
