Included in the display of carefully orchestrated talking points on stage at the DNC was John Kerry's and John Edwards' belief in two Americas. "Plantation" talk as my recent guest, Mason Weaver, would call it. You can hear my interview with him online at Oneplace.
The most shameful articulation of the liberal philosophy of "rich, Republican, corporate America" and "poor, the-rest-of-us America" was by Bill Clinton on opening night as he put one of the cleverest spins I've ever seen on his benefiting from the Bush tax cuts. The essence of it was how nice the Republicans had treated him with the tax break he received as one of the top earners in the country (bringing to mind the $10 million he just received for his new book) at the expense of "your" social security. However, one thing he didn't say was that he didn't refuse to take the tax break!
Another thing we didn't hear said, but should be noted, is that while the John-John nominees talk about "rich them" and "poor you", they just happen to be the richest ticket in history to ever run for President/Vice President, with John Edwards' estimated personal worth of $60 million and John Kerry's, if you include Teresa's wealth, at about $500 million, or half a billion. But, then that probably doesn't matter to the liberals because, as Mason says, "the slaves don't care how rich master is, as long as master takes care of them." Read more.
