Terence O'Rourke spoke at the Hampton Dems meeting tonight and Mad Dog thought he was wonderful.
It did not bother Mad Dog one bit that O'Rourke launched a blistering attack on both New Hampshire's Democratic Senators for voting to gut Dodd Frank, even when he asserted Shaheen and Hassan voted with the banks because the banks contributed heavily to their campaigns.
This annoyed some longtime connected Dems in the audience.
"You don't come to a Democratic party meeting and diss other Dems," one said.
Mad Dog disagreed. We ought to be making heads roll in the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party got clobbered on November 8, 2016 but we still have Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Ray Buckley.
Dems should have cleaned house.
O'Rourke says we have endless war because it's good for business. Money is being made. Hard to prove that. Hard to disprove it. If you're going to say that, you have to get specific about who is making money from those military actions and how those interests have outweighed anti war interests.
Mad Dog hardly blinked when Mr. O'Rourke said the Senate would not flip because of Gerrymandering. Of course, you can't Gerrymander a Senate seat, which is always statewide and at large. But that the more generous Dems let pass--the man was speaking fast, on a roll, a little over excited. Details, details.
What he is selling is indignation, anger and determination not to back down.
Mad Dog likes that.
Bernie Sanders has been tweeting we cannot win the upcoming elections with same old same old. We need new candidates from the actual left, not the mostly left, most of the time left.
Eliminate the cap on Social Security tax rates; create a National Health Care like England's; stop endless war by insisting Congress authorize acts of war; repeal the Trump Tax bill; fund public education and reject assassination of the public schools by voucher; reject candidates who do not have issues listed on their websites; pack the Supreme Court.
O'Rourke's description of the Iraq war, of how the United States laid waste to that nation, killed it's people, destroyed its armed forces and its infrastructure was stark. "We were the bad guys in that one," he said.
Mad Dog is looking forward to hearing from him again.
