Fight Big Oil with Clinton-Gore in '06!

California's Proposition 87, which would impose some $4 billion worth of taxes on oil companies and use the proceeds to fund alternative energy development, got a much-needed publicity boost today when every Democrat's favorite (living) ex-president, Bill Clinton, exhorted voters to support it at a Los Angeles rally. That's a nice addition to the support his former veep, Al Gore, has already thrown behind the measure. The petroleum industry is lobbing tens of millions of dollars at the initiative in an effort to sink it - with disheartening success. Support for it has dropped from 52 per cent to 44 per cent among Golden State voters in recent weeks.

The Talk--Nothin Like The WALK--
If The People Like the Right --Then Why Run As A Populist?

"Triangulation," the Clintonian technique of betraying the groups that had elected you and the principles on which you were elected, to implement the other, opposition, party's platform.

The last so-called "Democrat" to win an election, Bill Clinton ran as an "I Feel Your Pain" populist calling himself a liberal. Why would he publicly proclaim all this populist pretense (and frequently), unless! his expertly polished machine told him that was what the people want. Yeah that was the Talk!-- Nothin Like the WALK! Nope! the people aren't as dumb as conservatives (either old-line, republicans or NeoCons, new democrats) like to think. We don't want "Willy"-Nilly Clintonomics. We understand privatization/deregulation NAFTA, the end of our free press--hurt us! big time.

Hill & Bill's jihad's been against liberals and the left since the 80's when they formed the DLC with Lieberman and some of the most notorious, fabulously wealthy "trash with cash" conservatives of that era. The DLC was founded for the express purpose of undermining and destroying democrats, to remake our democratic process hook or crook, into a one-party republican juggernaut. The Clintons are free market fundamentalists who've done more to undo the democratic progress of a century than any of their conservative brothers & sisters. The Republican orthodoxy (except for a handful of religious fanatics) LOVE! this free mkt fanaticism, and you'll scarcely hear a scintilla of criticism from republicans about the hard right overhaul of America--even from guys like Rush Limbaugh. They Don't Dare!--they'd be shooting themselves in their collective feet; Clintonomics Simply... It's The Right-Wing's Bible.
