1. Penn is the very definition of Blue Dog 1% who has been running the Democratic Party into the ground
Edited on Sat Nov-05-11 10:20 AM by leveymg
Has cash and lots of (bad) campaign advise to hand out, but is not our friend.

2. What a piece of shit Penn is. Making the GOP argument that we need to endlessly suck up to the rich,
lest we miss a few crumbs from their table. FU Mark.

It's always amazed me that guys like this seem to always work only one side of the aisle in campaigns, since there is obviously no loyalty to any principle. You'd think the guy's knowledge of people and party structure to Dems would make him priceless for a GOP candidate. Ditto an Ed Rollins working for a Dem.

Is their loyalty to parties only because that's where their connections happen to be?

3. What makes you assume they don't work with their opposite numbers in the back rooms?
The political wheeler-dealers who operate in what used to be called "smoke-filled rooms" never really went away. Instead of cigars and bourbon, its Perrier with Lemon. But, it's still cold, calculated greed that knows no real loyalty except to cash.

4. Meanwhile, poll after poll says exactly the opposite.
Mark Penn is a lying tool.

6. After Mark Penn's very expensive advice

basically cost Hillary the Presidency, I have no idea why anyone would listen to him. This will be the second straight Presidential run in which he has VASTLY underestimated Obama.

18. I vote on taxes and I demand the rich pay more of them
I am not alone either the majority of Americans support raising taxes on the rich, as a pollster Penn knows damn well that his position is in the minority he just cares more about corporate cash than about the American people.
