Joe Piscopo is Waking Up

[melvin_udall]

This speaks to much of why I despise Democrats today - why I call them vermin, scum - why I can have no respect for them. They are now a cult of sheep. They once believed in something. Now they do not, and the Democrat voter can only drool and support "the team" even when the team is lawless, corrupt, and fails to accomplish any of its promises.

I don't think that's fair to Piscopo here. He's pining for JFK, FDR, and LBJ here. Sure, I think he's a bit off-base here. FDR was very much part of the rich elite. He isn't considering how LBJ used that "Texas swagger" to "get things done", in that most of what he did, over ruling the Joint Chiefs regarding Vietnam, and the "Wat on Poverty", turned out to be huge disasters.

He was right about JFK, who was a Cold War hawk, who reduced marginal tax rates, who wanted to do an end run around the Fed. I don't think any of these old line Democrats would ever win the nomm of the current party.

Piscopo calls out the Divide and Conquer race baiters, the hypocritical politicians who can't be bothered looking after the very people they supposedly champion. He even called out Barack for failing to pay any further attention to those South Side Chicago communities he "organized" after they'd served his purpose of getting an "in" with the Chicago Dem Machine.

I really don't see him as one who complains about the party's not being left enough. His epiphany is welcome, regardless of how late in coming.
