You don't understand. de Blasio is one of "them". You have some kind of cartoon version of politics with the Monopoly game mascot in a top hat and Rush Limbaugh on one side, and Bill de Blasio and the humble poor on the other. This is just nonsense. De Blasio will not challenge corporate rule in NY. He is a savvy liberal politician who sacrifices principle when he is trying to advance his career. If I ever ran into him out campaigning, I would have said something like "Bill, what the fuck is up with you, dude? Joining Dov Hikind to make Brooklyn College knuckle under the Israel Lobby?" I am damn sure that back in 1989 he never would have taken such a position but when he ran for City Council, he found it convenient to line up Hasidic bloc votes. That's all you really need to know. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
