Wow--how to do major damage to your political bona fides in just a few short minutes. Well done, Mayor Cory Booker! At the start of today, you were a rising star in the Democratic Party, but after appearing on
Meet the Press and calling President Obama's attack ads on Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital "nauseating" you've pretty much lost the base--permanently. You can't be a progressive on some issues and not on the ones that matter most--mainly looking after the 99%--and expect our support. That's exactly the problem we have with the "Liberal" media.
I have no doubt you'll probably move on to bigger and better things--but today you've cost yourself a lot of money over the years (the base donates) and quite a few votes (the base shows up in huge numbers). But even more important, you've lost their hearts. We fight a lot harder when we believe.
Nice try on
walking back those "nauseating" comments you made--when you end up as republican fodder for Willard's campaign, it's way too little, way too late.
Peace,
