What the landslide means in one sentence

Stoller (again this morning, so sue me):

[T]he elites are swinging to the Blue Dog position rather than coming our way.

Quelle surprise.

Leaving the Overton Window firmly fixed in position, since a Blue Dog is just a smarter ratMR SUBLIMINAL FISA who left the sinking ship in time.

Of course, everybody knows that the Blue Dogs won't fuck us over nearly as badly as the Republicans. They haven't had time to figure out how, yet!

No shit Sherlock

I swear, if I ever see Stoller in person, I'm going to give him the biggest dope slap. Wasn't it Stoller who made a big deal about voting for Obama because Clinton had voted for the war? And what have we learned over the years about single issue voters?
Stoopid idiot.

it means "tax cuts! tax cuts!"

-- http://www.usnews.com/blogs/capital-comm... -- "Along with former Clintonite Larry Summers, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon seems to be getting serious attention as a possible treasury secretary if Barack Obama wins. Very serious. So what does Mr. Dimon believe about the way the world works? ...

DIMON: You have a very serious issue now, which is you are talking about helping the economy for the next six months to two years. You need—you can't raise taxes in light of that. But we also have, you know, a little bit of inflation and fear of inflation and, you know, if you have too much fiscal stimulation, your long-term rates will go up. So the policy should be reduce taxes a little bit now, ..."

Help the economy

The heck with tax cuts.

Put money in the hands of people who need it and will spend it - Institute single payer healthcare now!

We can't afford not to have single payer!

All the more reason

for me to keep stubbornly changing the subject (or not) and repeating:

We can't afford not to have single payer!

(just keep saying it and hope it goes viral!)

We can't afford not to have single-payer!

#1 PRICK is more like it. Or am I being ridiculously optimistic?

Actually the overton window has moved decisively right.

Again.

It's been quite awhile since we had an actual left in America. Now the center is gone as well.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
