Thanks, Paul. Your usual excellence. I tweeted the link to @BarackObama and poted it on my Facebook.

There can only be one America. Throughout our history there have been many competing interests and while your sophistry about rowboats is interesting, there have always been rich before. The divided America is an 80/20 America. With 80% of Americans feeling the pain, progressive social policies should be a no-brainer. The fact that they are not, is because the Democratic party no longer represents the 80%, instead they have followed the money and now represent the 20% just like the Repubs.

@LongRangeAce I am no fan of the Democrats, but neither party today resembles what it was 150 years ago. I am a registered Green so you don't need to convince me of their recent perfidy. The Democrats represented unions until they became disillusioned by Carter and went for Ronnie. Once upon a time they did good things, now they only care about their corporate sponsors and whore after the money. The number one issue is jobs and they act like it is an orphan step-child.

@mcamelyne Now when you take a look at the Democrats largest Donors, we have eigh of which are banks and major corporations, that again, is not true.

[LongRangeAce]

@mcamelyne Uhm no, again, when did the democratic party historically represent the working people when they were lobbying for their enslavement? One more time, the democrat party fought for decades to have the Emansipation proclimation overturned, they also fought tooth and nail to not allow REPUBLICANS to push through civil rights legislation giving blacks equal rights. now what they have done in the process is toute "we are for the people'" obviously that is not true.

[mcamelyne]

@LongRangeAce I was referring to class not politics. The Democratic party has historically represented working people and the middle class while the Republicans have represented private business owners and the rich. Progressive policies appeal to most Americans when not presented as a political issue. There is a tangible disconnect between people's desires and what they say. Equivalent to people liking their congressman and disliking congress or cutting the deficit but not cutting programs.

jesus do people think before they post these ridiculous videos? again, since its so hard to understand THE DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS VOTED FOR THE WAR IN IRAQ!! why? if one was to take five fucking minutes out of hteir lazy life they could research democrats from Pelosi, and Edwards to Clinton before 2001 talking about removing saddam. Little thought before ignorance jack asses.

@immanent havint been in business for nearly two decades in several states I can state without a doubt that Republicans are pro business, you can talk and reason with them, but dems? Forget about it, no reasoning on any level.

@useacondompeople the right is at least upfront about willinginly fucking you, the Left likes to hide behind skirts while fucking you, Im all for getting rid of the party system alltogether.

[LongRangeAce]

@mcamelyne when did the democratic party represent 80 percent? Was that when they opposed freeing the salves and civil rights legislation? Im confused here, can you help?
