With friends like Kim Gandy, Harry Reid and the Democrats don't need any enemies.

Uh-oh.......they're startin' to get it...........Maxi-Shields wrote this?.....

"widespread perception that the party consists of a confederation of interest groups to which Democratic leadership is slavishly beholden."

"Perception"?......Bullsh!^, it's a reality.

Maxi-Shields wrote this?

One day, probably the day before he retires, he might actually name the groups that are doing the most damage to this party, the trial lawyers and the unions.

Calling NOW to task is hardly a bold move. They don't command a voting bloc and they don't provide money or party workers to the Dems. Easy target.

They're gettin' it alright but don't expect the lefties who seem now to pull all of the strings to go back, raise money, and shut up. Never gonna happen.

Maxi Shields can write all of the eds he wants but this pack of rabble who think that they control the party will continue to threaten the pols just enough to make most of them cry Uncle - as the only thing they fear more than ed writers in WAPO and NYT, is losing their day job and being forced to join some lobbying group and run to places like the Aspen Institute, etc. and grovel for speaking fees.

Ain't nearly as much fun as sitting on a podium with mike in hand and threatening business people with "Contempt of Congress."

"starting to get this"


I don't think so. The 527's control the democrat money so the democrats will have to yield to their demands or the money will dry up.

I think it's very funny .. the dems thought they had pulled a fast one on the repubs in the fund raising dept, and all the dems have done is cut their own throats. Now they are beholden to these groups.
