2. More Third Way excrement. Reminds me of the Koch's "Prosperity for Americans" or whatever.

Hell, when all that money is traced back to its source, might even be the same people. Who benefits? would be my question here.

Also, I guess since the Third Way has not managed to completely rid their party of liberals and Progressives, maybe they are trying a bit of make-believe and theater. Fail.

You know the way that anything that criticizes Hillary or praises someone who is Not Hillary is swiftly investigated as to who wrote it and how can they be discredited? Hey - we can do some investigation ourselves, we don't just fall into line because someone cynically puts the word "Progressives" on a Third Way group and website.

Their website isn't even progressive 4dsc Mar 2015 #1
