Thread Name: BS: Kerry's Secret Plan to End the War
Subject: RE: BS: Kerry's Secret Plan to End the War
Well ..In UK weve been through this problem before. After God knows how many years of Conservative Govt,including the Thatcher years,folks hated the Tories,(they were even less popular than Bush). Tony Blair and New Labour came along, all presentation and no left wing substance,but folks thought ,anythings better than the Conservatives,and Tony is a labour man. How wrong we were....Blair did things to the working class that the Conservatives would never have dared,he did not reverse any of the Conservative anti-union legislation, brought in more indirect taxation than any other UK govt, (indirect taxation always hurts the poor most) and finally dragged us into the Iraq War on the coat tails of America, something the Conservatives would never have succeeded in doing.
There is a direct parallel between that little saga and the argument currently going on in these threads. The any body but bush argument dosn't always work out the way you want it to. left wingers have a duty to work for a better ,fairer world.
