Roemer Is a Scaife Mole

As previously disclosed, DNC candidate Tim Roemer of Indiana is affiliated with the Mercatus Center, a Scaife/Olin/Koch/Walton-funded right-wing think tank.

As part of his duties at Mercatus, Roemer has invited every Democratic chief of staff to a retreat sponsored by this right wing organization. Chris Bowers looks at the agenda (PDF), and there's plenty not to like. There's this session:

Social Security Reform I: The Coming Fiscal Crisis

Texas A&M economist Russel Roberts, a vocal supporter of social security privatization, will give a presentation opposing drug reimportation from Canada. And so on.

Roemer's star has fallen in the DNC race, and hopefully it stays fallen. It's simply amazing to think that a member of the VRWC could be getting serious consideration for the leadership of the Democratic Party. It's evidence of 1) how we have fallen as a party, and 2) how insidious and far-reaching the VRWC truly is.

We also know that the DLC members are so utterly ignorant and out of touch with the party base that they think the party needs to move to the RIGHT to win elections.

If that antiwoman, antilabor, corporate piece of offal is anointed as party chair, expect the party to be completely destroyed.

Greens, here we come!

too often just in case someone has missed seeing who was put up for chair.

So here's another kick to piss off the DLCers who would prefer we ignore this little fact!

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi ... whom, sources, say strongly back and encourage Roemer ...
