There’s a new P-word. “Progressive” is out, “Populist” is in. Watch for it.

The old Dems have realized that they are the ones who will pay a political price for progressive radicalism.

This is gonna be a fun two years ...

At least here in Colorado, I don’t see any difference between the old dems and the new dems the author talks about. There is only one arguably moderate dem in the entire legislature. The rest are hardcore, anti-energy, doctrinaire leftists.

And just because they are hardcore leftists doesn’t mean they can’t do old fashioned corruption. Much of the state budget here goes to support their cronies and their reelection.

I agree with the use of “populist”. It doesn’t sound pejorative, though for me it is.

I have never accepted the use of “liberal” for these people. They like “progressive”, so I have used that word, though they are anything but progressive. Leftist, communist, marxist, statist, fascist, socialist, populist. Those words fit. Anything but “liberal”, that they are not.

Yup, the "Old crook Rats" don't want to be pushed off the gravy train by the pure commie nut-jobs.

Will be interesting and absolutely not covered by the MSM.

Pelosi is toast.

Reid on the other hand can do something no other senator can do. He can deliver 13 “old dem senators” that can override every veto Obama signs.

If this is true, the old school senators from both parties can return the balance of power to the people and roll back Marxism.

Absolutely. Leftists (or communists, etc.) are perfectly capable of old fashioned corruption they just do it “for the cause” - right. The dems have no moral base or compass so they really are capable of anything.

This sounds like an article written two years ago about the GOP elite and the Tea Party with the names changed.

They’re Fascists - they want one party, punishment of political opponents, planned economy, state control of companies, etc.

Fascists.

Bill had wanted Hillary to play Sarah Palin, turning her into a kingmaker and building on a narrative of female empowerment by having her back female senators.

This is a good point...imagine what the headlines would be if every one of Palin's endorsements had lost.

The communists will weed out these so-called “old school corrupt democrats”...with the full assistance of the main stream communist media. The democrat party has had a communist component since 1932, but starting in 1968 when the communist wing began the long march through the institutions, it has become dominant. The so-called “old school corrupt democrats” are communists, but they are not “true communists.”

The communists historically deal with internal dissent by means of the Purge. This will be no different. Harry Reid, meet Lev Kamenev and Grigory Zinoviev.

The Harry Reid Song (the multi-millionaire public servant)
Featuring the musical stylings of Nanzi Pelosi and L’il Debbi

Mr. Big Stuff, tell me tell me
Who do you think you are
Mr. Big Stuff
You’re never gonna get my love
I’d rather give my love to a poor guy that has a love that’s true (oh yeah)
Than to be fooled around and get hurt by you
Cause when I give my love, I want love in return (oh yeah)
Now I know this is a lesson Mr. Big Stuff you haven’t learned

Reid is a vindictive old bastard, and he knows who is to blame for his loss of power.

It wouldn’t surprise me to see Reid screw over Obama in the lame duck session. Fail to pass anything meaningful or confirm any of Obama’s appointees and wait for the new congress to be sworn in, just to poke him in the eye.

"The progressives want to get as much of their agenda done even if it’s by executive order and even if it makes them even more unpopular than they are now."

That's why 0bama's Executive Amnesty is assured.

Prepare the counterattack!

It is the Democrat Party, not the Democrat Party.
