Lest we forget--it was a Democratic president--Bill Clinton, who was the architect of the repeal of New Deal welfare reform, by co-opting traditionally Republican agenda items. The Bush Republicans are now using an identical tactic with compassionate conversatism.

But to claim that Democrats don't have their hand in the till and in the pockets of their corporate funders, is sheer lunacy, IMO.

Follow the money, Art. Follow the money.
