The Late, Great Democratic Party

I miss the Democratic Party … by which I mean the party who stared down the ‘malefactors of great wealth’, and called them out—by name if necessary—and asserted that, ‘They hate me ... and I welcome their hatred.’ 

It’s embarrassing to be part of the ‘Would you like fries with that?’ Democratic Party of Barack Obama and Harry Reid. The biggest selling point for their ‘compromise’ on extending the debt limit is that it was just like the Republican Plan. Other than the demand that Obama dress up in a tutu, and dance in front of the news cameras, they’re absolutely right on that point. 

Harry Truman once famously said of Richard Nixon, "Richard Nixon is a no-good lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he`d lie just to keep his hand in." 
This could today apply to the entire Republican Congressional leadership - along with many of the Democrats.
