One Democrat willing to tell the truth.

Quote:Bob Kerrey, the former Nebraska senator and governor, was always one of my favorite politicians in part because his politics weren’t perfectly polished. Among other free-wheeling moments, he called fellow Democrat Bill Clinton an “uncommonly good liar” and said a requirement for becoming president is that you must “want it more than life itself.”

Kerrey moved on to academia and now to an investment bank, but hasn’t lost the willingness to break ranks with his party. The habit surfaces in a withering criticism of current Democrats, in which he says they are suffering from two major “delusions.”

“The first,” he writes in an op-ed in the Omaha World-Herald, “is that Americans long for a president who will ask us to pay more for the pleasure of increasing the role of the federal government in our lives.”

He cites as examples the foolish push for the Green New Deal, wealth taxes and Medicare-for-all, all of which are being embraced by 2020 candidates.

The Dems’ second delusion, he says, “is that Americans were robbed of the truth when Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller and Attorney General William Barr concluded that President Trump did not collude with Russia in 2016.” He goes on to say there is no reason to think the full report will change the finding that Trump is an innocent man.

Yep - but the lefties will just pass it off as some old senile white man invoking white privilege.

The Democrat party of today sure doesn't look like the Democrat party of John Kennedy or Bob Kerry does it?

Someone just made AOC's list.

JFK presided as a neoconservative. He was big on national defense, cut taxes and believed in equality in opportunity, not equality in outcome. That being said, I suspect if were never assassinated he would moved further to the left in the ensuing decades. His brother RFK was the radical leftist and he probably would have moved in line with Bobby.
