He is an incompetent fool. He even had a hand in the Contract on America "Republican revolution" with his work in ramming NAFTA down the base's throat. His strategy in recent years to put Blue Dogs to be in districts to run against Republicans against the will of the grassroots was a dismal failure and cut into the Democratic victories, yet he was hailed by the so-called liberal media as the architect of these victories and Howard Dean and his 50-state strategy were attacked - never mind that it was this that brought victory not just to Democrats but to Obama who road on its coat-tails... remember how he won the red states whilst Hillary claimed to be more legitimate because her victories were in large blue states... the real problem in the end is ultra-corruption that is endemic in the United States where bribery is equated with free speech and the notion that those who own the country ought to govern it holds disturbing prominence. How can the owners of the country govern it - by bribing the representatives and this is considered to be normal and desireable. In fact, when congresspeople deliver money for constituents, it's called pork, when they deliver for those who finance their campaigns, it's called good politics... Rahm Emanuel does it again.
