Newsday Leonore Brooks http://www.newsday.com/business/ny-bzmyturn105086401feb10,0,4009123.story?coll=ny-business-printBravo, Saul on your "cruise column" ("Why don't liberals fight for ideals?" Feb. 3). I agreed so much with what you wrote about.
Just why are the Democrats running from their liberal views? In attempting to give my answer to that question, I am reminded of the late 1940s, when my dad was running for the Assembly under the now-defunct American Labor Party along with Vice President Henry Wallace - all hoping for a new Third Party, not corrupt as the Democratic and Republican parties appeared to be.
A song developed during that era called "Who's going to investigate, the man who investigates, the man who investigates me?"
I do believe that the Democrats today have the same fears in 2007 as they did in the late 1940s and 1950s. They have the liberal idealogy but fear the loss of their political lives when making overly radical or idealistic statements that differ with the masses that elected and re-elected George Bush. |
