If the one percent need to shift our party into a purveyor of predatory corporate legislation, the propaganda *has* to reach this level of absurdity.
Blaming Republicans or blaming the voters for Democratic betrayals only works for so long, and becomes progressively less believable as these excuses are applied to situations in which the Democrat exercised full and sole discretion.

Ignorance is Strength.
Chained CPI is Superlative.

and
Obama proposes Social Security Cuts because he Opposes Them.
