Have you ever wondered where this class warfare waged by the liberals against successful Americans began. I know I did, the reason being that there are as many liberal wealthy as conservative wealthy. And the members of senate and house at state and federal levels are as prone to being bribed by special interests as the next guy. Well the secret has been outed, this was all a ploy developed by a former White House adviser to Bill Clinton. It came about after the as whipping the democrats had just received at the hands of the republicans, it was the blame game they came up with to distract from and point a finger at the fault being someone else, the conservatives. Unfortunately the spin worked as daily I read posts here and see comments in the news blaming greedy as they are labeled Republicans. The message goes like this, "Republicans don't care about the poor or middle class, they only care about the wealthy, 'it's' (any problem they can think of) al a conspiracy by the Koch brothers and republicans. The weird thing about all of this is that under Barack Obama, the very class warfare seems to be by his administration against the poor and middle class, not by the republicans. Ask yourself this, are blacks and Hispanics, are the poor and laid off workers of America better off now than under past republican congressional majorities? Are they better of under Obama policies. Well the answer is pretty clear. NO. But the spin continues. So next time you read a member here playing the 'Clinton' game (that's what I'm labeling it), remind them of the origin of that game and chastise them for being so foolish for being suckered in. This has been a service announcement by the 'Committee to Promote the Truth'. Me. From the Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) -- Stung by the GOP takeover of Congress in the 1994 elections, White House advisers urged President Bill Clinton not to take the blame and make light of it in public but instead to hit back hard by casting Republicans as defenders of "wealthy special interests," according to documents released Friday. Preparing for Clinton's 1995 State of the Union speech, adviser Paul Begala said the president should change his tone regarding Democratic losses in the midterm elections. "I really don't like the president making fun of our ass-whipping in November, or suggesting it was because of him we got creamed," Begala wrote in a memo to speechwriters. He said that Clinton adviser James Carville disagreed with him. "He thinks it'll be effective self-deprecation; I'm concerned it could look like a white flag of surrender." In a separate memo to Clinton adviser George Stephanopoulos, now an ABC News anchor, and to White House Counsel Jack Quinn, speechwriter Michael Waldman urged them to "portray the Republicans as advocates for wealthy special interests." He added, "The trick is how to do this without seeming to be an advocate of big government and red tape." In another memo to Stephanopoulos, Waldman suggested the White House review how Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and George Bush "dealt with an opposition Congress - what tricks they had up their sleeves.".. |

Yes, it was a lie and a ruse to deflect blame. A Clinton Whitehouse strategy that suckered in the gullible. |

It's a big lie that the GOP represents the interests of the wealthy? You got to be kidding. If you think their constant push to lower taxes skewed toward the wealthy, opposition to any tax increases (ie: tax pledges to Grover Norquist), steadfast opposition to any minimum wage increases and trying to strip the teeth out of the regulatory agencies is all about the interests of middle america, I got a bridge to sell you. They are owned by the Koch machine. Granted dems aren't a lot better, but they try to help the poor and the middle class, but are often thwarted by the GOP obstructionists. Obama certainly hasn't done enough to pull out workers and the poor in this country out of the whole the GOP put them in. It's pretty difficult to pull off when the Tea Party types fight you tooth and nail, never admitting they are the problem not the solution.

Why is it that some on the US Right choose to ignore the facts when Tomdrobin presents them in documented fashion? Why do they simply accuse Tom of attempting to spread the "big Lie" when the real lie is that the Republicans do not favor the wealthy? I regards to the "blame game." I am wondering if it may have started when Dwight D. Eisenhower warned against having our country controlled by the big money in the military-industrial complex?
