What is tragic and, yes, ironic, is that THEY keep accusing everyone who doesn't parrot their simplistic drivel as using Orwellian double-speak.
It never cases to amaze me that they (I check in at DU from time to time) can't see how the left basically stands for nothing except re-election and the easiest way to do that is to appeal to the masses who work the least and contribute the least.
It is all about re-election -- the liberal politicians are all loaded -- why try to use the system to grow capital when you can sqander it in the pursuit of pure, anadulterated POWER?
The saddest thing in the world is a middle-class liberal. These are the "useful idiots" of their own handlers.
