Congratulations. We’re all Republicans now.
After six years of forcing party members to support Republican and corporate drafted polices, Obama has finally made the transition complete: the Democratic Party is now an official branch of the Republican Party.
And now that Fast Track has cleared the House of Representatives and is on its way to the Senate for final approval, the president’s apologists must face a stark truth: they have been defending a neo-liberal, corporatist politician who had a secret agenda long before he stepped onto the world stage.
And as William River Pitts so eloquently stated yesterday: “…all the YEAH BUT REPUBLICANS arguments can go pound sand.”
