The 2016 election is quickly approaching…….we have NO idea who will be the GOP candidates save one….it seems the Santorum has pretty much decide to amuse us again….but after that the field is obfuscated….
We know that the conservs are running scared of the the only Dem mentioned so far…Hilary. They have a Super PAC dedicated to ruining her chances and most commentators are mentioning her at every opportunity……but who else is getting any attention on the lib side of the equation? So far….NO one!
The Left, I mean the real Left not these darn centrists, are saying that there needs to be someone hit Hilary from the Left……but who would say that….and at this time?
Report from The Hill:
Ralph Nader tore into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s liberal bona fides on Monday and said a candidate should challenge her from the left if she runs for the 2016 Democratic nomination.
“Somebody must challenge from the left, because, I mean, Hillary Clinton, who started out as a progressive out of Yale Law School and Wellesley, she’s become almost the poster child for the military-industrial complex,” Nader said in an online interview with MSNBC’s Chuck Todd.
“She hugs Kissinger; she hobnobs with Bob Rubin and the Wall Street crowd — I mean it’s almost a caricature,” Nader added. “But you know on social issues, like pro-choice, children’s issues, you know she keeps that liberal sheen.”
The former Democratic presidential candidate, who has also run for president as an independent and for the Green Party, said Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), both of whom have been vocal proponents of Wall Street reform, would be solid challengers.
Oh great…the great and powerful media whore Nader has spoken!
While I may agree with Nader’s proposition that someone on the Left, the real Left, needs to jump in in opposition to Hilary…..I do not put much credence in Nader’s opinion……he is a media whore that likes to see his name in print……for me his days of relevancy has long past.
The Left needs a true spokesperson…….Nader ain’t it!
I would love to see Bernie Sanders step up and put his money where his mouth is. Lets see how many on the left would openly support an honest socialist.
Good point….but I do not think it would be possible…..because few have any idea what a socialist would do thanx to the media and misinformation……
What do you think a socialist would try to do in the White House and would you support those efforts?
FL, there are many flavors of socialism….I guess it would depend on which won out…..I mean the single party crap is not to my liking……let me say that if the country is put first over political theater I would look closely…..
Is there a flavor of socialism you would support? and what would it look like? or let me ask it this way. If you had control over who was president and what their agenda was what would you have them do and would you favor a socialist style system?
I don’t know about Dr. Chuq but I would favor the type of socialism they have in most western European countries as well as Canada and Australia
As well as the election laws……..
