I found this video very discouraging to watch...A "Democratic" activist being boastful and unapologetic about enabling the NAFTA free trade catastrophe on America's working classes and organized labor. Although he does get 2 bonus points for at least being honest about it.

Democrats need to channel FDR and LBJ on how to get domestic legislation passed..

Thom your right, the Clinton admin sold out the american workers just as the repubs have. What they did build was a bubble serving the same wealthy/corporate masters as the repubs do. There is no need to buy into right-wing ideas as Begala said, its what happened. The public has lost ground since at least 1980 continued through Clinton up to this very day as the same general policies of serving corporate power even when it hurts the people and the country itself. Begala just cant admit it.

But thom is a globalist NWO filth as well.

America has lost ground ever since the year 1913.

Corporations pushed NAFTA to the American people.Now we pay the price. Telling people go back to college, the? is HOW? College tuition rise every year without control. Also note not everyone is born to go to college.Alternatives , make your own business, WOW, how people can do that? without education or in their 50's already.

Also ,only aprox. 6.5% of inventions of independent inventors reach the market, and 47% are created for consumers.Also 80% of new business fail within the first 5 years.

Good job Thom.

Begala raises a good point, calling out Republicans for putting the Iraq war and occupation on America's credit card. But can he seriously defend what a disaster N.A.F.T.A. turned out to be?

[arcturus33333]

You're right there. It is their fault too. Plus the despicable Commission on Presidential Debates who exclude third party candidates in the debates, since taking over debate sponsorship from the League of Women Voters who withdrew in disgust because of the fraudulent practices. It's all just a big fake show now featuring corporate puppets. No spontaneity, substance or tough questions.

The real truth about your american goverment is this: Your government hates you.

[MaryJesusJoseph]

It's also the fault of the news media who NEVER cover any third party candidate--and when they do they present them as kooks. The news media has relinquished any responsibility to inform.
