Obama FCC Caves on Net Neutrality -- Tuesday Betrayal Assured

Monday, December 20, 2010


As an old liberal Democrat who's lived through decades of party politics, I suggest that you consider Democrats and Republican­s as working on the same side, as tag relay teams.  Or 'good cop/bad cop'.  One side (Republica­ns) make brazen frontal assaults on the People, and when the People have had enough for that round, they put Democrats into power because of Democrats' populist rhetoric. 

Once in power, Democrats then consolidat­e Republican­s' gains from previous years, and continue on with Republican policies but renamed, with new advertisin­g campaigns.  They throw the People a few bones, but once Democrats leave office, we learn that those bones really weren't even what the People thought they were.  

Whenever the People get wise to the political shenanigan­s and all of the different ways they've been tricked and start seeing Democrats as no different than Republican­s, Democrats switch the strategy.   They invent new reasons for failing to achieve the People's business -- This current one, because "Democrats are nicer, not as ruthless, not criminal" etc., is custom-tai­lored to Obama's 'bipartisa­n cooperatio­n' demeanor, and is smirk-wort­hy when you realize they're trying to sell that they're inept, unable to achieve what they were put into office to do, and like that's "a good thing".
