“Pretty vague news report to base conclusions on. How about a little optimism?” – Taylor
Oh, I don’t base my concern on this one 18 minute interview alone. (I assume you watched/listened to the entire section rather than the short part they had typed up.) I have based this view on his own positions. Perhaps I haven’t listed those here before? He is not interested in a single payer national health insurance plan. He is not interested in addressing the wasteful military budget. He not only has been personally involved with nuclear power, but supports it along with that oxymoron ‘clean coal’. He is not interested in cracking down on corporate crime nor corporate welfare. He wishes to maintain and protect the ‘two party system’. He does not wish to adopt a carbon pollution tax. He does not wish to reverse the US policy in the Middle East. He will not consider impeachment nor prosecution of Bush/Cheney. He is not interested in repealing the Taft-Hartley anti-union law. He is not interested in adopting a Wall Street securities speculation tax. He has not signed on to put an end to ballot access obstructionism. He is not interested in putting an end to corporate personhood. He is not interested in debating how to defend, restore and strengthen the Civil Justice System. He is not interested in adopting the National Initiative. He has changed his view from getting out of Iraq to something quite different. As I understand it, he supports keeping the US presence there along with what will be the largest US ‘consulate’ on the planet. I’m sure there is more, but this list will support my conclusion as well as why I don’t base my projection about what the future will hold upon being a pollyana, oozing optimism. Rather than a naïve faith in the future, I base the probability upon the past, and current realities.
