once again David Sirota has written a great article okay
and at the end of all this and the yes there are problems got crushed
politically yes they've damaged their bare brain tremendously
and it seems that this now stand for extremism yes I think the bay
CNN excellent chance actually losing the house in 2014
either sale all that but when it comes to policy
Davis rose right again it turns out
they have moved the spectrum so far right the progressives
are not even really considered in the equation first while really telling poor
the David brought up is from the new york times they were had an article
about this and a quarter Joel berry whose chief executive
up Deloitte that's an accounting and consulting firm
so this is where the corporate guys and he's above
I East a die-hard Republican I'm a registered Republican
I i've been a Republican the whole time and
I define myself as a republican but these Tea Party geyser extreme
and they have real power and then he has a spell in court
he says the extreme right has 90 seats in the house
Occupy Wall Street has no seats
so isn't that amazing because if you look at the polls
the country totally grease liked by wall street the banks have been to
deregulated they've gotten away with
historic fraud they grew a wall street that tax cuts
have been r extreme now that we need actually increase tax on the rich
big tree with Walsh Occupy Wall Street on so many
core issues 0 seats in the house 0 season 7 the Tea Party
now has an approval rating up 21 percent 90 seats in the house
why is a spectrum is shifted
because all the money flows to the right and then he explains it perfectly in
this court he says
in this new arena the Democratic Party is the far left edge
the political spectrum despite it being by recent historical comparisons
and economically conservative party reminisces all the GOP ten or twenty
years ago
let me pause there for site but this when I say all the time
because I was a Republican ten to twenty years ago and yes this democratic party
is that is reminiscent of the GOP party bill I was a liberal Republican from the
northeast socially liberal
and economically conservative right back then that spectrum now
I'm pretty much where I was certainly on economic issues
and personal issues the democratic party went from way to the left to me
to significantly to the right to me I'm now consider the site fire-breathing
progressive or something right
so yes the Democratic Party is now center-right
especially when it comes economic issues and David continues
at the same time the new mainstream right is a tea party extremism
meanwhile the supposedly sensible center
is what you might call Chamber of Commerce conservatism
AKA the reliably conservative agenda
of corporate America and there you have it
that's exactly the good cop bad cop that was just played on us
all the good cops other corporations the support the Democratic Party in the
republican establishment
the bad cops are those crazy extreme Tea Party guys all I can't believe you pull
those further and further right although no golly gee
all look at that before the negotiations even really began in earnest before the
shutdown began
the democrats had already given an extra seventy billion dollars away
it and now the plan test being put into effect today
is actually to the right ok pol'y
means original extremely right plant it cut more in spending them polarize
original plan did
look at how for the spectrum is moved to the right and the sequester which the
democrats originally upset about all the cuts
in spending that the sequester had is now the new normal
so corporations love the redistribution of wealth to them
they and that's what they're among the parties about abortion that's what
a large for the democratic party has become about so we play this
soap opera between the extreme Tea Party guys
and what is now being the skies as the samples accessible center
even though that does not match with the american people say in the polls
at all as to what their real intentions are and in the end
we have right-wing policy pro corporate policy
that cut spending for the average american and that can't wait to cut
spending
on what they call our entitlements the social security medicare we paid into
so that's a shell game that just got played on us so if your progressive
don't rejoice too much in the Republican defeat yes it matters in politics
and we hope it might now politics might matter in policy
later but for the moment being this still having their way with us in terms
of policy
that's disturbing but it's reality
