[lbo-talk] The myth of Obama blunders and weakness

[Carrol Cox]

1) I did mean my response to apply to both SA & Julio: Both share the 
view that intervention by radicals in electoral politics  can influence 
public opinion. I deny this. Nothing whatever follows from any action 
radicals take in respect to RP/DP politics. If/when A Left emerges with 
some coherence and a mass following*, then left responses  to DP/RP 
candidates MAY make a difference. At present Julio  & SA and those who 
agree with them are merely children building sand castles on the beach.

2) I did fail to distinguish between the words of SA and Julio, but I 
intended not to distinguish between their positions.

3) I usually write my posts in Word, then run them through EmilStripper, 
before pasting them in a new post.
