Re: [Marxism] Senate to Middle Class: Drop Dead ...a message from Michael Moore

[Eli Stephens <elishastephens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Walter: "(As usual, an excellent explanation in plain English with zero leftoid 
rhetoric but in such a language that ordinary working people can perfectly well 
understand.)"

Moore certainly has some nice formulations. Unfortunately he blunts his 
argument by placing 100% of the blame on the Republicans and 0% on the 
Democrats; this in face of such Democratic leaders as Nancy Pelosi talking 
about "giving the workers a haircut" 
(http://lefti.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html#9033646864339592480) and 
Harry Reid accepting a "loss" when "only" 51 Senators supported an agreement, 
allowing a whopping 35 (!) Republicans to "win" the debate by pretending, as he 
has over and over, that the Republicans were capable of, and would have, 
filibustered indefinitely and that therefore without 60 votes "nothing can be 
done."

Letting Pelosi and Reid off the hook, as Moore does, just ensures that they 
will continue to sell out the workers.
