[lbo-talk] Moore/Clark: The Bigger ?

[Michael Dawson]

I'm cogitating Doug's point about people only wanting to get rid of
Republicans.  Isn't it also true that when Demos have the White House, all
they want to do is keep them there, no matter how awful?

What's the answer to that?

Meanwhile, I belong to the AFL-CIO, and have spent lots of time on my state
council.  Barring a huge internal revolt, it'll be a very cold day before
that organization rocks the boat.  The Sweeney administration has only
deepened the submission to the powers that be.  Stone cold fact.
