David Axelrod ?@davidaxelrod 1m

Hillary-Mitt analogy in Post story is absurd. It's not about what you have, but what you've done. HRC's record, roots speak for themselves.


Sheila Jackson Lee ?@JacksonLeeTX18 4m
Hillary Clinton is in touch with millions of families and women who need a fighter for their issues in 2016


. . . beware of the bus, y'all.

that might explain his problem with Hillary and for that matter any woman being President.

13. he didn't mention her comments at all; just stated he still held a grudge

. . . from the 2008 campaign. That's not very impressive, or even relevant to much.

You posted that here in much the same way the article's title and sideline tried to make it look like Richardson was responding to Hillary's comments. I think you dug into that one a little too quickly.

I know wealthy equals evil these days; but, come on!

I love the comment I saw a couple of months ago:

"Radicals are less upset with the system, than they are with their place in the system. "

I think that applies to the vast majority of DU wealth posters.

10. That is a fairly standard Republican response

to complaints about income inequality: you're just jealous. It's not nice to impugn other peoples' motives. Isn't there at least some chance that their hearts are as pure as yours? I am not accusing you of being a Republican, but that's where I've heard that charge more than once.

Being jealous/envious of someone else's wealth.

The quote is more a comment on human nature and supported by some DUer's support of the status quo, when they perceive a change threatens what they have. For an example, see the Privilege threads ... where coincidentally the only privilege that is recognized is wealth privilege.
