They called us Mensheviks in Russia...

Been hitting the way back machine of late and can't help but think what a difference a decade makes.

Something reminded me of this attack ad on Howard Dean, which now a days is actually a badge of honor for most progressives/liberals  I know....


I, for one, am proud to be one of those:

 tax-hiking [on the 1%], government-expanding [programs/policies/regulations to protect and empower the 99%], latte-drinking [mocha, actually], sushi-eating, volvo-driving[its a Ford Station wagon], New York Times-reading, body-piercing [tattoos not piercings], Hollywood-loving [not really] left-wing [really] freak show[if that's what you want to call human existence okay...I guess].

The attacks on Dean from the DLC wing of the Democratic Party doesn't have as much of a punch post-Occupy.  Occupy in many ways was a bubbling up to the surface of the failed economic agenda that many Democrats not only supported but helped orchestrate, which created a boom for the 1% but has left the rest of us struggling to hang on at best, or falling farther behind for the rest...
